November 11, 2021
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!

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.
Hear us discuss…
- Stephanie is an old and cranky white woman at heart
- Xander and Willow continue to disappoint
- Buffy has a poor grasp of the size of New Brunswick
- What happened to all the leftover candy?

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.
Hear us discuss…
- How much fun a teenage-focused opening is!
- Faith’s dynamic with Buffy is so different from Kendra’s
- Mr. Trick makes a great first impression
- Stephanie really wants more excuses to use the word “kakistos”
- Giles. GILES. You magnificent, clever, loving bastard

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.
Hear us discuss…
- Anthony Stewart Head’s ACTING!
- Steph and Kara have different amounts of sympathy for Willow
- But we all agree Xander can shut up now
- The zombies are … all right but not really the point of this story?
- RIP Pat, but rest assured Joyce will forget you by next week
