𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 3 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 21: “𝑮𝑹𝑨𝑫𝑼𝑨𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝑫𝑨𝒀 (𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝑶𝒏𝒆)”  ft. Chris Birch aka BUFFYDOOD

As Sunnydale High prepares for graduation, Faith escalates the situation by striking directly at Buffy’s heart, poisoning Angel in an attempt to distract her. When the gang discovers the only cure is for Angel to “drain the blood of a Slayer,” Buffy makes the ultimate decision to bring him one, leading to an intense and epic final battle, Slayer against Slayer.

Joined by the Buffy doodle dude himself, Chris Birch, who grants some interesting perspectives on the episode. The three of us speak on how convenient Angel is as a distraction for the plot, hear Courtney’s thoughts on viewing this showdown between our Slayers for the first time, all while raving about that final Season 3 confrontation fight between them. We get real about Buffy’s decision to quit the Council, highly suggestive toward Willow and Oz grabbing a hot shower after their “panicking,” and give major praise to Wesley for being a standout Watcher. 

How do you feel about Buffy and Faith finally going head to head. Do you agree with Buffy’s choice to feed Faith to Angel? Was it justified or was there another way she could have gone about it. Do you love the fight sequence and the fact Buffy wielded Faiths own knife against her? And ofc Angel being poisoned sets off that entire chain of events, so tell us how that landed for you and if you think that was key to the story. We also want to hear your thoughts on Willow and Oz finally taking that next step together, and do you love the fact Buffy has decided to quit the council and finally take charge of her own slayer journey?
