Episode Poll: 5.11 Triangle
Is this the last true comedy episode of S5? I mean, there's Intervention, but that eventually turns all SRS BSNS. So yeah. Let's count this one as the last comedy eppie. Triangle!

5,6: My other answer is that both Willow and Anya love Xander, he means a lot to them both, and vice versa; which means they're both in a position to hurt each other that doesn't necessarily require demonic powers or lips. (Well, not for kissing, at least.) Anya doesn't need to be a demon to break Xander's heart, Willow doesn't need to sleep with Xander to have influence over him. Scratch the surface and it's a pretty standard Lover vs Best Friend scenario.
7: A 4. Not a great comedy episode, but it has OLAF, it has Hannigan and Caulfield on top form riffing off each other, so many fantastic lines... plus, the best shot of SMG's stunt double in the entire series. Good for her, she deserves some screentime.
HAHAHAHA! PUNY RECEPTACLE!

Personally I like to think that Olaf's big whiny "Just like you always did when we were dating!" is as much a parody of everyone's "Let's blame Buffy for poor Riley's shortcomings" as SMG's over-the-top blubbering.
I'll take it!
7. Caulfield and Hannigan are PERFECT in this episode. Both such gifted comedy actors at their best.
When's the shot of SMG's stunt double?

Right at the start of her fight with OLAF. (Sorry, I have to type that in capital letters.) She gets knocked on her ass and slides into a bookcase, and the camera pretty much holds on the stunt double's face for a second or two.
