Plot synopsis

Dawn Summers falls in love with RJ, a football player at her high school and becomes desperate to win his affections, despite her awkward social skills in his presence. Her sister Buffy falls for RJ at first sight as well and the two fall out over the matter. After RJ briefly visits the Summers' home Anya and Willow fall for him as well, even though Willow is gay.

As Buffy, Anya and Willow each plot to win RJ's love, Dawn, feeling overshadowed by and inferior to her three older friends, lays herself across train tracks to await a train to crush her to death. Meanwhile, Buffy leaves to kill RJ's nemesis, Principal Robin Wood with a rocket launcher, Anya robs a bank, and Willow begins an elaborate spell to turn him into a woman. When Xander and Spike finally learn about the coming mayhem, they set out to track the women and stop them.

Finally, it's revealed that RJ's letter jacket is a love-charm, passed on to him by his brother, who acquired it from his father. Xander and Spike destroy the jacket, and all is well.
