Cordelia thinks it’s all about her—and this time, she’s right! Someone is out to hurt Cordelia as she campaigns for the coveted May Queen role at the Spring Fling dance. Yet no one can see this menacing assailant, leading Buffy and the gang to deduce that they might be dealing with an entirely new threat. Meanwhile, Angel and Giles begin working together to uncover what the Master might be planning for the Slayer.

Students at Sunnydale High, including Buffy, Willow, and Xander, start to slip into waking dreams. It’s not too long before the walls of reality themselves start to blur and crumble. The secret to saving Sunnydale, and perhaps the world, might lie in the mind of a comatose boy who just wanted to play baseball. But to save the day, Buffy will have to confront her greatest fear.

There’s a new sheriff—er, principal—in town, and his name is Snyder, and he wants YOU to perform in the talent show. But when one of the talent show participants is found dead in the locker room (yes, that locker room), stabbed with a knife, Buffy and crew will need to hope their talent for solving mysteries extends to the mundane as well as the mystical.

Willow has a binary beau! While helping Giles and the new computer teacher, Miss Calendar, scan library books into the computer, Willow meets Malcolm online. As her obsession deepens, strange things start happening to computer systems around Sunnydale and beyond. Even Buffy’s best spy look might not be enough to take on a demon loose in the internet.

The Master dispatches three powerful vampires to take care of his Slayer problem once and for all. Buffy survives only with the intervention of Angel, at the cost of learning his terrible secret. Despite his actions so far, Angel might be less friend than foe. Will Buffy have what it takes to deal with this betrayal?

A trip to the zoo leaves Xander acting strange—well, stranger than usual for a horny teenage boy. He and his new group of friends think they rule the school. It’s up to Buffy, Willow, and Giles to save Xander from his animal self before he crosses lines that shouldn’t be crossed.

Hear us discuss…

The absolute lack of class supervision on a field trip. Also, bullying, of course. And this is an episode with some extremely racist content. Hey, is Giles ok with all this head trauma? Finally, Kara and Stephanie both dig deep into how poorly this episode handles issues of rape culture, masculinity, and sexual assault.

Trigger warnings

Animal death, bullying, implied cannibalism, racism, sexual assault/rape

An ancient prophecy threatens to derail Buffy’s date with sensitive Owen. Buffy needs to balance her desire for hot teenage romance with her responsibilities to stop the rise of the Anointed One, a super-powerful vampire who will further the Master’s designs to escape his prison and wreak havoc on Sunnydale.

Hear us discuss…

Buffy’s dating pool in Sunnydale. Is Owen a better choice than Angel? Also, jealousy never looks good on anyone, but Xander somehow makes it look even worse. Giles might be overworking Buffy, and she deserves the break.

Trigger warnings

Child death, fatphobia, internalized misogyny, traffic collisions
