The first rule of living in Sunnydale: NEVER SAY IT’S QUIET! With Dru and Spike out of the picture (for now) Buffy thinks she is going to have a nice, quiet week until she is faced with her scariest nightmare yet…seeing her mom, Joyce making out with some random dude. Sure, Ted is gainfully employed, a talented cook and interested in building a future with Joyce, but Buffy can’t shake the feeling that this future doesn’t really include her. His over-the-top demeanor and eagerness to lovebomb Joy...

Double the slayer, double the fun, right?! Well, maybe not so much for Buffy. This week, Buffy reluctantly teams up with Kendra, the “other” vampire slayer who was somehow activated when Buffy died for half a second last season. Kendra is ALL about the rules (including the basics, like no dating vampires), has been studying the Slayer Handbook all her life, and honestly she might be the straight A-type slayer that Giles had always hoped for (Sorry Buff). Meanwhile the sexual tension in this epis...

It’s career week at Sunnydale High and everyone is anxious to see what the future holds. Xander gets matched as a prison guard, Cordelia gets matched as a personal shopper (SO on brand) or a motivational speaker (ummm…), Willow’s getting courted by some weird tech company (and hopefully Oz soon), and Buffy is forced to accept the fact that a normal career just isn’t in the cards for her. Luckily Angel knows just how to cheer her up and takes Buffy ice skating for their first official date! FINAL...

Everybody has a past, and our favorite tweed wearing, library loving, British Watcher is no exception. This week’s episode is all about Giles (or should we say “Ripper”) having to confront his demons…literally. Just when things are starting to get steamy between him and Jenny Calendar, he totally gets cockblocked by a demon named Mark of Eyghon that Giles and his friends summoned when they were younger to possess them for fun…ya know just your average college debauchery. Luckily, The Scooby Gang...

Buffy is surprised with a blast from the past when her childhood crush arrives in Sunnydale, and he’s checking all the boxes for her. Cute? Check. Makes Angel jealous? Check. Understands her duty as the slayer? Check. Dunks Oreos in apple juice? Ew, but check. He seems perfect on paper (except the apple juice thing) but of course he’s up to something. Turns out, Ford is part of a group of Vampire wannabes and decides his only way to become a vampire is to deliver Buffy to Spike himself. And if t...

Trick or Treat Weirdos? It’s spooky season in Sunnydale baby, and this episode does NOT disappoint! Buffy and the Scooby Gang dress up for hot girl Halloween (we see those abs Willow!) and volunteer to take some local kids trick or treating, when all the sudden everyone starts turning into their costume?!? Xander is an army dude, Willow is a ghost, and Buffy is an 18th century colonial woman / princess who has no idea how to kill a vampire. Super inconvenient costume choice Buffy! Plus it seems ...

Frat guys often get a bad rap as being snakes, but of course in Sunnydale the frat guys here actually ARE snakes…or giant weird lizard things to be more specific. This week Buffy begrudgingly agrees to hit up a frat party with Cordelia, and what begins as a night out to spread her wings (and maybe make Angel a bit jealous?) turns into a night of avoiding getting sacrificed to a giant lizard frat guy. Will the Scooby Gang be able to save Buffy and Cordelia from the lizard demon? Will Angel finall...

It’s a big week for the Scooby gang. Time for a fun-filled field trip to a museum in preparation for their cultural exchange program with students from all around the world. Buffy actually begins to bond with her mysterious exchange student and Xander can’t keep his eyes or lips *hint hint* off of her. Of course it’s only a matter of time until the happiness unravels, because this week Buffy and crew are getting wrapped up in some mummy issues. And we’re definitely not in Kansas anymore, because...

It’s finally happening. The moment Alaina and the entire Buffy the Vampire Slayer-loving universe has been waiting for: SPIKE. IS. HERE. That’s right — The bleached-blonde British baddie has sauntered into Sunnydale, and he’s not alone. He’s joined by Drusilla, who may currently seem feeble and harmless, but is as creepy as they come. This week, Buffy tries to survive her initial encounter with this dynamic duo, while Spike annihilates The Anointed One and fully cements himself as the new BIG BA...

It’s science fair week at Sunnydale High, and everyone is bringing their A-game. Willow is working on winning first place (obviously), Cordelia is questioning whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable (it’s a fruit btw), and Chris Epp is building the “perfect girlfriend” made out of dead girls’ severed body parts. Only in Sunnydale! Chris’ science project / frankenstein girlfriend project is almost complete, but he’s convinced he needs Cordelia’s head as the final piece of his f’d up puzzle. So...

We are back for season 2 baby!!! After a summer of self-reflection and time spent with her dad, Buffy is reunited with the Scooby Gang, but something about her seems…off. She’s acting rude and bitchy…like Cordelia-level bitchy. And if that wasn’t enough drama, the Master is back (kinda) and haunting Buffy in her dreams, while the Anointed One is causing all kinds of shit in Sunnydale. If this is just the beginning of Season 2 we are gripping on for dear life to see what comes next. New episodes ...

It’s the season 1 finale, baby! And boy oh boy is it a heart stopper! This week we learn Buffy’s true prophecy and she tries to kiss her life as the slayer goodbye in hopes of living a “normal” teenage life. But suddenly everything goes awry. And we mean reeeealllllly awry – you know, like the type of awry where the Earth cracks open and a whole army of demons emerge? Buffy jumps back into action with help from The Scooby Gang (but with little help from Angel…WTF dude?), and we get an ending tha...

With a new baddie popping up every week, it can be hard for Buffy to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but in this episode she really can’t see it. No, like literally, she can’t see it, because the assailant is invisible. Who or what could this invisible menace be? A ghost? A wizard under an invisibility cloak? And what’s up with all the flute music? But just when things seem dire…Guess who’s back…back again...ANGEL’S BACK and Ash couldn’t be giddier! And speaking of things that are hard t...

There’s nothing more terrifying than a nightmare that wakes you up in the middle of the night…unless it’s a nightmare that follows you throughout your entire day??? Unfortunately for The Scooby Gang, this week, their nightmares become their reality. Xander comes to school in his underwear, Giles suddenly discovers he can’t read, killer creepy clowns are on the loose, and Cordelia… is having a bad hair day (seriously terrifying stuff).

If you’re not afraid of puppets already, you might be after this one! It all begins when Mr. Snyder, Sunnydale High’s new principal (RIP Principal Flutie) decides to have a talent show to boost school spirit. During rehearsal, a dead body is found…because of course a talent show in Sunnydale involves a murder. BUT this murder feels different – not your garden variety vampire or demon killing that Buffy and the gang are used to. Could an actual human have done this? Or was it the creepy ventriloq...

We all know the internet is a spooky place…but have you ever been Catfished by a demon living in your computer? In this episode we meet Malik, a cult-leading-demon, living in the 1400s, who made his followers do crazy things by promising them love and devotion in return. How rude. Flash forward to present day when Buffy is roaming the library and finds a mysterious book tucked away in a box. Turns out she should have left that book alone, because it brings all sorts of chaos to Sunnydale. What w...

We finally made it to the episode that Ash has been patiently waiting for… ANGEL! This one was an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. We have a first kiss, some jealousy and even a teeny tiny bit of heartbreak. This episode is filled with tons of new discoveries, but most importantly we learn that Angel…is a vampire (which isn’t exactly shocking if you’ve heard literally anything about the show in the past 25 years). Go grab your kleenex and buckle yourself in because this one may make you cry. ...

Who knew that Buffy would be fighting more than vampires this season? Ash sure didn’t but we are certainly here for it. This episode starts with a lesson about one of the most heavy metal animals in the world, a female Praying Mantis. Did you know they eat their partners’ heads off? Buffy isn’t very interested at first but it turns out she’ll need that lesson later on in the episode to defeat one of the nastiest beasts she’s slayed thus far. Honorable mention goes out to Robbie Rotten (you had t...
