Hrishikesh Hirway is back to talk to Jenny about his favorite character, Riley Finn! We also discuss the very special time in a young girl's life when she accidentally becomes one half of a human sex battery powering a lust-filled poltergeisty frat house haunting. Relatable! For better or worse, today is all about S4E18: Where the Wild Things Are.

It's another day in Sunnydale, which means chaos, monsters, and the valiant charge of our hero Jonathan. Vanquishing all evil as it arrives on the Hellmouth, showing us all how to be gracious and kind while also strong and powerful, Jonathan gives a voice to the voiceless, and continues to give us hope. Where would we be without him? Today we are discussing S4E17: Superstar. Thank you, Jonathan. Thank you.

Riley is very sweaty, but don't worry Buffy has a bandana for his itchy hand! Willow isn't only going over to Tara's for magic, SILLY!! Adam is so technologically advanced that he can put more than one floppy disk into his chest cavity while saying WHAT AM I like a confused baby frankenbird!!! We are careening into the middle of this season, scoobies, and today we've got S4E14: Goodbye Iowa, for you.

Don't you just love when your psych professor turns out to be the head of a monster initiative that created a Frankenstein-like thing named Adam who eats floppy disks and has metal shinguards?! Don't you love it even more when she sets up creepy cameras to watch you and your new boyfriend have sex (he's gonna take off your boot!) and then tries to murder you?!?! Yes, friends, it is S4E13: The I In Team. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Ethan Rayne is back in town and so, of course, is Kate Leth! We talk oh-so-much about the sexual tension between our two favorite mystics, listen to Jenny attempt to tell a story about having sex in college, witness some DEFLOWERING between our witches, and give special attention to Giles putting a feather duster between his teeth. Oh, *and* we have a Giles jingle for you. Welcome to S4E12: A New Man!

In Sunnydale this week, Spike shrinks all of his clothing, we confirm that Buffy is a Capricorn on the cusp of Aquarius, and Kristin and Jenny THROW DOWN on their differing opinions of Riley Finn. Also, Forest is still in love with Riley, Willow makes a great joke about 19th Century Literature, and Percy is A JERK! We are here a day early to tell you to go and VOTE today in the midterm elections, and to discuss S4E11: Doomed!!
