𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 3 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 2: “𝑫𝑬𝑨𝑫 𝑴𝑨𝑵𝑺 𝑷𝑨𝑹𝑻𝒀”

As Buffy tries to reconnect with her friends and adjust to life back in Sunnydale, unresolved conflicts make her return far from smooth. Joyce, unknowingly bringing home a cursed Nigerian mask as decor, sets off a chain of events that begins raising the dead and during Buffy’s welcome-home party, personal and supernatural problems arise when the gang is forced to put their issues aside and fight off a house full of the undead.

This week, we feel the negative vibes flowing as Buffy returns home and tensions rise. We try to understand everyone’s angle, but ultimately side with Buffy—who’s being attacked and not really listened to. We dive into themes of avoidance, bad friends, and the importance of communication in relationships. Plus, we nag on Pat and her “pat-ssive aggressive” behavior, and admit… this might be the first time we kind of hate Willow.

How do you all feel about the way Buffy is treated by everyone this episode? Are their feelings valid, or is their reaction selfish? Do you see more of her side or another persons? And If you were one of the Scoobies, how would you have handled Buffy’s return?
