After some research, Giles tells the Scoobies that a werewolf is a wolf for the three nights of the full moon — the coming night would be the second. Since the werewolf is human the rest of the month, it would be wrong to kill it.

333-486: A girly-girl." Roger Pocock writes, "Werewolves might be used here as a metaphor for toxic male-dominated relationships, but if that's the case Oz breaks that mould. By the end of the episode we instead have something akin to an allegory for mental health issues within a relationship, with Willow undeterred by her boyfriend's split personality, and they can finally share their first kiss in the knowledge of who they are, without that kiss being stolen under false pretences.

Angel's turn to the dark side is only an episode old, and it's already having repercussions; the women of Sunnydale are learning that boys are no damn good."
