Ngelixa uTara wayengenguye omnye wabalinganiswa endibathandayo Buffy iVampire Slayer , yintoni indima yakhe kunye nolwalamano awayenalo noWillow olumelweyo lwalubaluleke ngaphezu kokuthanda komntu ngamnye. Kwaye ukusweleka kwakhe, ingozi yezandla zomntu osabelana ngesondo njengo-Warren, yayibuhlungu kwaye yimpama enkulu ebusweni kubalandeli be-LGBT balo mboniso. U-Marti Noxon, umbonisi womboniso wamaxesha amathandathu anesixhenxe, uyavuma ukuba ihambe kakhulu.
UNoxon, ngoku osebenza kulungelelwaniso lukaGillian Flynn's Izinto ezibukhali ye-HBO, uthethile malunga noku kudliwanondlebe naye Ixhalanga :
Kwakukho iinxalenye zexesha lesithandathu apho ndiziva ndihambe kakhulu. Sityhalele kwezinye iindidi eziphantse zaziva zibuhlungu kwaye uBuffy wayezinikela ngokuzithandela kwizinto ezazingaphaya 'kokhetho olubi' kwaye zaziphantse zingakhathali kumlinganiswa. […] Kwaye ndiyacinga ukuba ukubulala uTara kwakukubuyela umva, kubo bonke abantu, kwakufuneka ukuba afe?
Ngeendlela ezininzi, ukusweleka kukaTara kwakusetyenziswa njengesixhobo sokugqibela somfuziselo womlingo kaWillow owawuchazwe ukusukela oko waqala ukusebenzisa umlingo, kodwa waphakanyiswa kanye xa uWillow evuse ngempumelelo uBuffy ngexesha lesithandathu. Ukusweleka kukaTara kukhokelele kuWill Willow kunye noXander ekugqibeleni engqina ukubaluleka kwakhe kwingxelo okokuqala ukusukela kwixesha lesibini, xa esindisa umhlaba kwingqumbo kaWillow ngamandla obuhlobo.
Ixesha lesithandathu le Buffy lixesha endicinga ukuba lineempawu ezintle; bujongana nobumnyama bendalo iphela ngakumbi kwinqanaba lomntu. Lixesha apho uBuffy njengomlinganiswa eshiyeke khona ukuba ajongane nokuba mdala, kunye noGiles bemkile kwaye bengasathethi ke nge-PTSD yakhe yokunyanzelwa ukuba baphume ezulwini kwaye babuyele eMhlabeni. Ubudlelwane bakhe bokuhlukumeza uSpike bazisa zonke iimpawu zakhe ezimbi.
Ngokusisiseko wonke umntu, ngaphandle kukaTara, uba yinto nje edlakadlaka.
UXander ushiya u-Anya esibingelelweni, u-Dawn uyangena emngxunyeni womvundla walo mlinganiswa kufanele ukuba mncinci kakhulu kunomlingisi, kodwa nantoni na, kwaye uWillow usebenzisa umlingo ukucima iinkumbulo zikaTara kwaye agcine ubudlelwane babo ngokusekwe kubuqhetseba.
Kulungile ukuba imiboniso ikhule, iba mnyama xa kuvakala kwaye ukufa kwabalinganiswa kube ziziphumo zezenzo zabo, kodwa eyona nto ibisoloko indenza ndikuthiye ukusweleka kukaTara kulo mboniso kukuba yayinento encinci yokwenza naye. Njengomntu owayekade eyinxalenye yomboniso amaxesha amathathu, inde kune-Oz, kwabonakala ngathi kuyimpoxo kum ukuba injongo yakhe yayikhawulelwe ekubeni yintombi kaWillow. U-Oz akazange nje abe sisoka likaWillow kwaye noAnya okanye uCordelia babengabahlobo nje bakaXander.
Ukuba uTara wasweleka ngokuthe ngqo ngenxa yento eyenziwe nguWillow okanye ngenxa yeziphumo ebezingalindelekanga zokusebenzisa umlingo ixesha elide, lonto ngekhe kube yingxaki, kodwa ke ubuncinci bekuya kuba sengqiqweni njengenxalenye yomlingo luludaba lweziyobisi ababelufuna. Kwaye bekuya kufuneka uWillow ajongane neziphumo zezenzo zakhe.
Endaweni yokuba ukufa kukaTara kudutyulwe kuva kwihlabathi jikelele lesini. Akuncedi ukuba ukuba sihamba ngamanani amsulwa apha, uTara wayengowona mdla wokuqala wothando kumdlalo wokufela okwenyani (Ingelosi yabuya), ke nangona uJoss ebesoloko egcina ukuba babeza kubulala uWillow uthando inzala, nokuba ngubani, yakhala ingacacanga kubalandeli abaninzi.
