For starters, we all know that Tara was a demon - or rather half-demon on her mother's side. Didn't Mr Maclay just remind you of the kind of degenerate cultist who's always worshipping and breeding with the Elder Gods in Lovecraft's stories? Well then. When Tara told Buffy her mother died, what she really meant was "She went back to her Hell dimension".
Just before Tara went to see Willow for the first time in 'Hush', she was researching spells. When they linked hands in the laundry room, the spell activated and made Willow crazily obsessed with Tara. And also turned her gay. After that, Tara's evil plan could proceed.
Slowly, steadily, Tara encouraged Willow's obsession with witchcraft, and fed her arrogance by pretending to be all dependent and admiring. (Secretly, she was laughing at Willow.) She taught Willow the Lethe's Bramble spell herself, knowing how she'd use it.
When Tara judged the time was right, she engineered a quarrel and left Willow, hoping that it would push her over the edge. Unfortunately, Willow proved too strong-willed, and tried to give up magic instead. This left Tara only one option.
So she turned up in Willow's bedroom and pretended to get back together with her. Meanwhile, she'd cast a spell on Warren implanting the suggestion to try and shoot Buffy. When he did, Tara used telekinesis to make the bullet travel through two 90-degree angles in order to hit her body in the back through a first-floor window.
As her mortal body collapsed in a shower of blood, Tara's true invisible demon form left it, and hung around the room gloating as Willow went totally crazy, and used her powers to burn down the entire world.
Just as planned.
And then Tara's evil plan was foiled at the very last moment by some dumb carpenter wittering on about a yellow crayon!
