The Scoobies raise the ire of a vengeful Native American spirit during Thanksgiving and contend with hundreds of years of colonial trauma in an episode critics are calling "definitely an episode of TV" and "there's some funny stuff with Spike at least?"

The Buffy Boys are having a big 'Yikes' in S04E08 "Pangs".

Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:

• The land is haunted because it's stolen: US TV's knotted 'You Tried' relationship with Native American portrayals
• Youth Speak and the Othered Voice
• Inhuman Decency and selective redemption of 'monsters'
• "It is a sham, but it's a sham with yams. It's a yam sham."
