Special guest Kendare Blake, author of In Every Generation, joins Steph and Kara to recap this Giles-centric episode.
Buffy introduces the new man in her life—Riley—to her old man, Giles, but she leaves out the part where Riley is a commando and Professor Walsh is his mom—er, commanding officer. Leave it up to Xander to spoil that for Giles, who then lets his guard down around Ethan Rayne and is turned into a demon for his troubles. Determined to get out of this pickle without asking for Buffy, Giles turns to the one person he can count on … Spike.
Hear us discuss…
- Who is worse at keeping secrets: Riley or Xander?
- Prepare for … Giles slander? Steph is as surprised as you.
- Poor Giles’s house. Again.
- Spike back on his evil bullshit? Yes, please!
- Riley can barely take Ethan Rayne yet he thinks he can take Buffy?

Well, Riley and Buffy’s respective secrets are out. Before either of them can process this information, they experience an earthquake that Buffy sees as an apocalyptic portent. Giles, mellow unemployed bachelor that he is, disagrees. But when isn’t it a sign of the apocalypse? If the Scoobies—and a Hawaiian-shirt-wearing Spike—are going to save the world, they have to return to the most terrifying place on Earth: high school.
Hear us discuss…
- Did Giles get into Joyce’s stash? Is that why his voice sounds funny?
- The dialogue is as fresh as the cheese Xander delivers—not very
- Spike might want to stop “helping”
- The only thing “doomed” in this episode is Riley’s ability to keep secrets
- Did we spot a certain trophy??

Can you hear that? No? Exactly. Silence descends upon Sunnydale, coinciding with the arrival of the tall, dark, and creepy Gentlemen. What do they want? Giles doesn’t know, can only circle their name on a sheet of paper. They’ve stolen everyone’s voice, and if Buffy’s prophecy dream is correct, only she can stop them. Remember: fortune favours the brave.
Hear us discuss…
- Is “Ruffy” the Riley/Buffy ship name?
- This episode hits differently in the age of texting
- This is a horny episode
- The Gentlemen are such excellent monsters!
- The true Big Bad of this season: Mark the whiteboard guy

Feeling sadder than she ever has in her life, Willow resorts to magic to cure her blues. But her attempt to take away her pain has side effects for all her pals (and Spike). Church bells ring, demons circle, and Giles has to decide what’s worse: losing his sight, or regaining it only to see Buffy and Spike take their vows. Soon, a spell gone wrong might be the least of Willow’s worries.
Hear us discuss…
- The hottest place for a date is … a field in the middle of campus?
- Giles and Spike seem to make great roommates!
- Poor Willow. Poor, sad Willow. Poor, sad, BAD WILLOW! BAD!
- Buffy and Spike? Doesn’t seem like it’d ever work.
- We want more feminist D’Hoffryn!

No, you are not hallucinating. We take a special road trip to LA, where Buffy is determined to confront Angel about his stalker-like yet heroic behaviour in “Pangs.” Of course, things don’t go as planned. When Angel suddenly becomes human again—mortal, vulnerable, but very much alive—he and Buffy have decisions to make. What does this mean for his hero’s journey? And can the broodiest vampire on Earth still brood, still be with Buffy, if he is just a mortal man?
Hear us discuss…
- How much we miss Cordelia!
- SMG and DB’s incredible acting
- Just how much sex Buffy and Angel have in this ep. (So much.)
- Doyle has the worst timing for exposition ever
- Remember, this is all Xander’s fault

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: Thanksgiving! With her mom away, Buffy resolves to host her own, traditional gathering at Giles’s house, complete with real whipped cream. But an unexpected guest and the stereotypically angry spirit of a Chumash warrior both crash the party. Giles and Willow need to stop bickering about colonialism long enough to face these threats, and Buffy gets a little help from a friend.
Hear us discuss…
- Anya’s lusty wrong feelings
- Angel and how he’s not evil (swoon)
- Spike steals this episode
- Buffy, you’re doing Thanksgiving all wrong
- But not as wrong as the Indigenous rep in this ep

Riley Finn thinks Buffy Summers is “peculiar.” If she wanted to go out with him, well … that wouldn’t be so bad. Unfortunately, Riley’s lusty wrong feelings are complicated by his role as a military commando in the top-secret Initiative. He and his frat boy grad student soldier buddies have to hunt down an escaped Hostile—but Buffy is also hunting this familiar, bleach-blonde vampire. Who will get to Spike first?
Hear us discuss…
- Buffy doesn’t know her own strength
- Ugh, Parker, please disappear into a deep, dark hole
- Willow and Riley in cahoots!! So adorable.
- Spike: always hilarious, always making us uncomfy
- OK, but DO flares ricochet??

When Oz encounters another werewolf—a female werewolf—on campus, it throws his and Willow’s entire relationship into question. As Willow senses Oz drifting away from her, she wrestles with how to win him back. But Oz’s deepest fear might soon be made real: maybe the wolf inside is just too strong to be won.
Hear us discuss…
- Is this the new saddest episode of the show?
- Willow is trying so hard and we can’t. We can’t.
- We’re not here to kink-shame Professor Walsh, but …
- Xander not only being unslanderable but giving GOOD ADVICE now?

Buffy sad. Parker bad. Willow mad. Beer foamy. Xander … heroic? All bets are off as the Scoobies get a taste of campus pub life, from alcohol to bad philosophy and irresponsible bartenders. Everyone get ready to drown your sorrows, or your triumphs, or whatever you’re feeling. Underage drinking has come to UC Sunnydale!
Hear us discuss…
- It’s a season 1 episode in season 4!
- We got what we asked for: more campus life
- Parker vs Willow? We know where to place our bets
- What is going on with Willow and Oz?

It’s Halloween again in Sunnydale, and that means House Party: Peeled Grapes Edition. Thanks to some ignorant frat boys scrawling a demonic summoning on the attic floor (and Xander not bothering to stop them), this party is more “scary” than “sexy.” The Scoobies must get over their fears in time to stop Gaknar, Lord of Nightmares. Is there a Slayer in the house?
Hear us discuss…
- Buffy not being over Parker (or Angel?)
- Is Willow’s enthusiasm for magic getting the best of her?
- Anya’s greatest fear: bunnies OR losing Xander?
- Giles with a chainsaw?? SWOON.
- Why Gaknar is the bestest little demon, oh yes he is, yes he is!
