S3E06: ”Band Candy”
11 november 2021 · 1 uur 26 min
The marching jazz band, Sunnydale High’s last hope for championship glory, needs new uniforms, and that means it’s time to sell chocolate bars! Buffy chafes under yet another duty added to her oversupervised, overscheduled life when she would rather be watching a shirtless Angel. But then the adults in Sunnydale start acting more like Buffy than, well, Buffy herself. As she and the Scoobies try to figure out what’s happening, Buffy discovers two things: it’s no fun being the most mature person in the room, and she does not want to know where her mom got those handcuffs.

As if that weren’t enough, all of her friends seem to have deserted her for Cordelia’s camp.

S3E03: ”Faith, Hope & Trick”
21 oktober 2021 · 1 uur 37 min
School is back in session, but Buffy is still out of it. That doesn’t stop Willow, though, who wastes no time … pimping Buffy out to mild-mannered, eminently forgettable Scott Hope. Maybe Buffy can learn some tricks from the new Slayer in town, for Faith has rocked into Sunnydale to meet the famous “Buff” and get hungry and horny after some Slayage. Unfortunately, a business-savvy vampire and his ancient employer are on her tail, and even two Slayers not be enough. Lees meer

14 oktober 2021 · 1 uur 26 min
Buffy is back in Sunnydale, and everyone is … fine with that. Joyce decides to invite Buffy’s friends over for a party—with company plates, natch—only for the shindig to turn into a hootenanny. Overwhelmed, Buffy wants nothing more than to have quiet one-on-ones with her friends. Instead, she has to fight off a zombie apocalypse brought on by a mask her mother stole—er, borrowed—from her gallery. All in day’s work, as Buffy reassures Joyce. Lees meer

The summer has passed and the Scoobies are doing their best to pick up the slack with Buffy gone.

2 september 2021 · 1 uur 36 min
Some supernatural force at Sunnydale High is forcing people to re-enact a deadly confrontation between a student and teacher from 1955.

Buffy is back after a summer in L.A., but there’s something … off about her, and everyone notices. Whether it’s dancing with Xander to make Angel jealous or snapping at her friends for offering to help, Buffy isn’t acting like herself.

Students at Sunnydale High, including Buffy, Willow, and Xander, start to slip into waking dreams. It’s not too long before the walls of reality themselves start to blur and crumble. The secret to saving Sunnydale, and perhaps the world, might lie in the mind of a comatose boy who just wanted to play baseball. But to save the day, Buffy will have to confront her greatest fear.

Willow has a binary beau! While helping Giles and the new computer teacher, Miss Calendar, scan library books into the computer, Willow meets Malcolm online.

The Master dispatches three powerful vampires to take care of his Slayer problem once and for all. Buffy survives only with the intervention of Angel, at the cost of learning his terrible secret.

S1E06: “The Pack”
25 maart 2021 · 1 uur 10 min
A trip to the zoo leaves Xander acting strange—well, stranger than usual for a horny teenage boy. He and his new group of friends think they rule the school. It’s up to Buffy, Willow, and Giles to save Xander from his animal self before he crosses lines that shouldn’t be crossed. Lees meer
Hear us discuss…
The absolute lack of class supervision on a field trip. Also, bullying, of course. And this is an episode with some extremely racist content. Hey, is Giles ok with all this head trauma? Finally, Kara and Stephanie both dig deep into how poorly this episode handles issues of rape culture, masculinity, and sexual assault.

25 maart 2021 · 56 min
An ancient prophecy threatens to derail Buffy’s date with sensitive Owen. Buffy needs to balance her desire for hot teenage romance with her responsibilities to stop the rise of the Anointed One, a super-powerful vampire who will further the Master’s designs to escape his prison and wreak havoc on Sunnydale. Lees meer

Buffy’s dating pool in Sunnydale. Is Owen a better choice than Angel? Also, jealousy never looks good on anyone, but Xander somehow makes it look even worse. Giles might be overworking Buffy, and she deserves the break.

S1E04: ”Teacher’s Pet”
18 maart 2021 · 1 uur
After the disturbing death of a teacher who had the gall to be kind to Buffy, the substitute teacher is hot for students. Especially male students like Xander. But Buffy might have other problems, because Angel is back to warn her of a dangerous old enemy of the Master’s in town. Lees meer

Totally inappropriate teacher–student relationships, ew! This is such a horny episode, in the worst possible way. Fortunately, Buffy and Willow come through. Also, the existence of a “she-mantis” monster raises interesting questions, both about the nature of monsters in the Buffyverse, and whether or not this show is Othering female sexuality. What do you think?

S1E03: "Witch"
18 maart 2021 · 1 uur 13 min
Buffy just wants some normal in her life, so she tries out for cheerleading. But some girls, it seems, will stop at nothing to get a coveted spot on the team. When cheerleaders begin falling one by one to mysterious, magical ailments, there’s only one possibility: there’s a witch at Sunnydale High, and Buffy is going to be her next target. Lees meer
Hear us discuss…
Xander’s unhealthy obsession with Buffy and the pervy POV the show foists upon us. Buffy really steps it up in this episode in terms of everyday heroism, plus we see new (but definitely not better) sides to Cordelia. Also some discussion of mother/daughter relationships and what makes them healthy (or not).
