A mauled marching (jazz) band corpse means a beast is loose in Sunnydale. Initial signs point to Oz, but Buffy when learns there’s another beast out there—a wild, shirtless Angel—she fears the worst. While the gang tries to solve this mystery, Buffy must deal with Sunnydale High’s smoking psychologist and grapple with the fact that not all boyfriends are as innocuous as Scott Hope.
Hear us discuss…
- Why are we not surprised Xander failed Oz and Willow??
- Don’t you rush now to find a shirt, Angel
- History with Kara: what’s a card catalogue?
- Green goo: all the cool kids are drinking it

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

Angel went from Buffy’s boyfriend to the Big Bad in season 2. His soulless persona, Angelus, stalked Buffy and her friends, killed Jenny Calendar, tortured Giles, smoke cigarettes, and tried to end the world.
Join Judges Steph and Kara as they weigh the evidence for and against Angel’s guilt before pronouncing judgment. Is the age gap between Angel and Buffy ok, gross, or illegal? Is Angel culpable for what Angelus does? Do Angel and Buffy belong together?
Court is now in session.

Giles is convinced this force is the spirit of dear departed Jenny Calendar. Buffy and the rest of the Scoobies aren’t convinced.

- Our first example of some group magic!
- Steph has finally realized Angel and Dru are DOING IT
