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!

It is TIME for BUFFY and ANGEL to KISS!! TWICE!!! Which means it is *also* time for Joanna Robinson to guest host with us! We will discuss the first kiss, which ends in Angel throwing himself out the bedroom window. We will discuss the drama that ensues, which ends in Angel being thrown out of the living room window. And we will discuss the final kiss, which ends in Angel feeling that kind of pain that can only come from being a vampire in love with a giant-cross wearing vampire Slayer — that burning, searing, sizzling kind of D E S I R E and P A S S I O N.

Yes, it is Season 1, Episode 7, "Angel."

So happy to be here with you all.
