Xander (Nicholas Brendon) and Cordelia's (Charisma Carpenter) relationship has gone public at Sunnydale High and Cordelia's noticing a considerable drop in her popularity. Naturally, she breaks up with Xander -- on Valentine's Day. Heartbroken, he turns to Amy (Elizabeth Anne Allen), who has taken up her mother's witchy hobbies (see "The Witch") for some magical support. She casts a love spell to make Cordelia fall in love with Xander. The spell works so well that everyone, including Drusilla (Juliet Landau) and Joyce Summers (Kristine Sutherland), falls in love with Xander -- everyone except Cordelia. Mob love ensues as everyone competes for Xander's affection. A minor, though no less ominous plot thread has a now-evil Angel (David Boreanaz) leaving roses for Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) with a note saying, "Soon." ~ Matt Collar, Rovi

A very special student deals with exams, first love, and national security issues in this teen-oriented romantic comedy-drama. Samantha MacKenzie (Katie Holmes) is a seemingly ordinary college freshman with one important exception -- her father happens to be the President of the United States (Michael Keaton). Samantha, however, would prefer to be as inconspicuous as possible as she begins her studies at Redmond University, so she asks a favor of her father -- remove the two Secret Service agents who follow her everywhere, and allow her to fend for herself at school. The president agrees, but out of concern for her safety, he sends in a young undercover agent, James (Marc Blucas), who will pose as the Resident Advisor at her dorm to keep an eye on her. Samantha and James strike up a fast friendship that grows into a romance, but when Samantha discovers the truth about James, she wonders if his love for her is real or just part of his cover. First Daughter was directed by actor-turned-director Forest Whitaker. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
