Tara could have believed that Willow would not be powerful enough to pull off the spell. I thought about that - that it was her way of allowing Willow to work through the grief. There's a scene in "After Life" when Tara and Xander do discuss the ramifications of the spell and you get the feeling that Tara had just been patronizing Willow, but, of course, Tara and Xander are interrupted before we learn too much.
Do you suppose Willow could have used a little whammy on Tara to persuade her? That's an excellent theory - however, one that would make a whole story. Only got 2 chapters left, so I'm gonna have to go another way, but now I wonder if she did. Explains a lot. Thanks!!!
