R. J. Brooks was a jock student at the new Sunnydale High. He owned a magical letterman jacket which made women fall for him (though he didn’t seem to be fully aware that it was the jacket that was doing this). Dawn fell for R. J. when she saw him at football practice, and began to do anything to get her man, including pushing a football rival down a flight of stairs.
Buffy later fell for him when she went to speak to him about his effect on women. Xander found Buffy straddling R. J. and pulled her away, realising almost immediately that she was under some sort of spell. Xander and Spike eventually discovered that the magic was coming from the jacket and stole it from R. J, but not before Willow and Anya fell for him too.

It’s pretty hilarious when Willow falls for RJ - musta been one powerful spell to turn her back to men !!

As kinda, eh, as this ep. is, it’s still hilarious.

The last 10 mn are hilarious actually (when the Scoobies actually start doing something) but it’s true that having Dawn THEN Buffy swoon over RJ was rather painful. I guess that story wouldn’t have seemed so out of place in season 1 though.
