My Buffy Season 7 involves some major changes in the lives of the Scoobies. Xander, Spike and Giles aren't there any more. Lindsay becomes suddenly empowered and finds himself in the daylight, and starting a new relationship with Buffy. Buffy has to live with what she did during her dark phase, but there's a new man in her life as well- Lindsay. Willow and Tara enter an unexpected but welcome phase of their relationship after the last year of turmoil after Willow finally leaves her darkside behind for good. On the other side of the ledger, an embittered mortally wounded Wes completes his reciprocal dark metamorphosis after Dru turns him and he starts an unexpectedly close relationship with her. Dru changes as well, forming new significant relationships and leaving her madness behind, little by little, and now she has a daughter to fight alongside her as well as a new partner. As the last survivor of the Trio, Jonathan Levinson also has to cope with the consequences of the Scoobies descent into hell at the end of last year and his responsibility for not stopping Warren and Andrew before they went out of control and started an inexorable process of murder and mayhem that claimed three lives as well as their own, at the end. As for Dawn. a growing bond starts to develop between the older former greysider and Buffy's younger sister...
As for our new characters, Doug Mercer may be a wiccan warrior, but he wasn't always on the straight and narrow and knows what the darkness is like. But he's sworn to serve and protect Buffy and the others, even if he paradoxically feels inferior to the late Xander Harris, whose courage and fearlessness he respects, even if he never met him before his untimely death. Tnen Oz returns to Sunnydale, in full control of his wolfside, and making radically different choices about relationships. For the first time since the brutal assault and trauma that triggered his abilities, Doug falls in love. And then there's Hekate, Dru's newfound darkmage surrogate daughter. Price and Dru find that Hekate is uninhibited and brutal in defence of those whom she loves- despite her youth, she can be as hard and merciless as they are. And finally, for Angel, Cordelia- and tragically, Jordy Osborne, time has run out.:
