Welcome to Once More, With Spoilers, where Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs revisit every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one at a time — for the SECOND time! — this time discussing each episode with spoilers!

You CLEARLY know that feeling when you develop a crush on your new substitute teacher who then turns out to be a giant praying mantis, right?!?! A high school rite of passage. Today we get to revel in all of the glory that is Ms. French aka the She-Mantis as we cover Buffy's S1E4 "Teacher's Pet" for the second time... this time with spoilers. *The* episode that spawned the legacy of Buffering's praying mantis mask. What a day.
