Maggie Walsh tried to kill Buffy, but the Slayer lives. Maggie, on the other hand, is dead—not at Buffy’s hands but rather from the arm needle of her own Frankensteined creation, Adam. When Buffy infiltrates the Initiative looking for answers, she comes face to face with Adam and his brutal addiction to floppy disk–driven exposition. Adam handily beats Buffy and a withdrawal-suffering Riley before disappearing to dissect another day. One monster is dead, and another has risen.

Buffy is initiated into the Initiative, and she and Riley have never been closer. Can the girl who swore off office romances make this one work? That depends a lot on whether she can win over the mother-in-law. One thing is certain: if the Initiative thinks Buffy is just going to follow orders like a good little soldier, they haven’t done their research.

A vampire comes to Bon Temps, Louisiana and falls for Sookie Stackhouse. Meanwhile, her oversexed brother, Jason, gets wrapped up in a murder he didn’t commit. Or at least, he thinks he didn’t commit. Sookie struggles to balance her attraction to Bill the Vampire with her obligations to family and friends. Oh, and she’s telepathic.

The hosts of Becoming Buffy join us to put the creator of Buffy himself on trial. Accused of misconduct, bullying, and more, Joss Whedon’s fall from grace has been well documented. Allegations from actors like Charisma Carpenter, Ray Fisher, and Gal Gadot have soured Whedon’s reputation—and perhaps his legacy. Join us as we discuss what we make of these issues, how they relate to the wider entertainment industry, and how they affect our perception of Buffy and other Whedon creations we consume.

Special guest Kendare Blake, author of In Every Generation, joins Steph and Kara to recap this Giles-centric episode.

Buffy introduces the new man in her life—Riley—to her old man, Giles, but she leaves out the part where Riley is a commando and Professor Walsh is his mom—er, commanding officer. Leave it up to Xander to spoil that for Giles, who then lets his guard down around Ethan Rayne and is turned into a demon for his troubles. Determined to get out of this pickle without asking for Buffy, Giles turns to the one person he can count on … Spike.

Well, Riley and Buffy’s respective secrets are out. Before either of them can process this information, they experience an earthquake that Buffy sees as an apocalyptic portent. Giles, mellow unemployed bachelor that he is, disagrees. But when isn’t it a sign of the apocalypse? If the Scoobies—and a Hawaiian-shirt-wearing Spike—are going to save the world, they have to return to the most terrifying place on Earth: high school.

Can you hear that? No? Exactly. Silence descends upon Sunnydale, coinciding with the arrival of the tall, dark, and creepy Gentlemen. What do they want? Giles doesn’t know, can only circle their name on a sheet of paper. They’ve stolen everyone’s voice, and if Buffy’s prophecy dream is correct, only she can stop them. Remember: fortune favours the brave.

Feeling sadder than she ever has in her life, Willow resorts to magic to cure her blues. But her attempt to take away her pain has side effects for all her pals (and Spike). Church bells ring, demons circle, and Giles has to decide what’s worse: losing his sight, or regaining it only to see Buffy and Spike take their vows. Soon, a spell gone wrong might be the least of Willow’s worries.

No, you are not hallucinating. We take a special road trip to LA, where Buffy is determined to confront Angel about his stalker-like yet heroic behaviour in “Pangs.” Of course, things don’t go as planned. When Angel suddenly becomes human again—mortal, vulnerable, but very much alive—he and Buffy have decisions to make. What does this mean for his hero’s journey? And can the broodiest vampire on Earth still brood, still be with Buffy, if he is just a mortal man?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: Thanksgiving! With her mom away, Buffy resolves to host her own, traditional gathering at Giles’s house, complete with real whipped cream. But an unexpected guest and the stereotypically angry spirit of a Chumash warrior both crash the party. Giles and Willow need to stop bickering about colonialism long enough to face these threats, and Buffy gets a little help from a friend.
