Plot synopsis

Xander and Anya are finally about to get married. But an old man materializes outside the church and begins looking for Xander.

After a while, they discover that Old Xander is nothing but a former victim of Anyanka's revenges. He had planned to destroy Anya's life, but Buffy defeats him. Xander returns during that fight and helps killing the thing. Then they tell him what happened, but he's still afraid that he might be wrong in marrying her anyway. Having seen his father's problems with drinking (and what the vision hinted about them) makes him afraid that he might take to drinking too, turn violent and hurt Anya. In the end, Xander leaves and Anya is left alone crying.

Arc significance

While this wraps up the will-they-or-won't they questions about Xander and Anya's marriage, it has implications which continue for the rest of the series. Anya later becomes a vengeance demon again, wreaking havoc and nearly being slain by Buffy. Still in love with Xander (and horrified by a particularly gruesome revenge in "Selfless"), Anya becomes human once again... which doesn't serve her well in the season finale.
