It’s career week at Sunnydale High and everyone is anxious to see what the future holds. Xander gets matched as a prison guard, Cordelia gets matched as a personal shopper (SO on brand) or a motivational speaker (ummm…), Willow’s getting courted by some weird tech company (and hopefully Oz soon), and Buffy is forced to accept the fact that a normal career just isn’t in the cards for her. Luckily Angel knows just how to cheer her up and takes Buffy ice skating for their first official date! FINALLY! But of course, no date in Sunnydale would be complete without one of Spike’s assassins crashing and attempting to murder Buffy. (Spike has assassins now?! Cool, cool.) Buffy hides out in Angel’s sad looking underground lair but is rudely interrupted by someone named Kendra who is making some pretty crazy claims that def change what the future holds for Buffy!

Everybody has a past, and our favorite tweed wearing, library loving, British Watcher is no exception. This week’s episode is all about Giles (or should we say “Ripper”) having to confront his demons…literally. Just when things are starting to get steamy between him and Jenny Calendar, he totally gets cockblocked by a demon named Mark of Eyghon that Giles and his friends summoned when they were younger to possess them for fun…ya know just your average college debauchery. Luckily, The Scooby Gang is on the case with Willow stepping up to fill in for Giles as he deals with his heavy baggage. Maybe she has what it takes to be the next Watcher?!

Buffy is surprised with a blast from the past when her childhood crush arrives in Sunnydale, and he’s checking all the boxes for her. Cute? Check. Makes Angel jealous? Check. Understands her duty as the slayer? Check. Dunks Oreos in apple juice? Ew, but check. He seems perfect on paper (except the apple juice thing) but of course he’s up to something. Turns out, Ford is part of a group of Vampire wannabes and decides his only way to become a vampire is to deliver Buffy to Spike himself. And if that wasn’t enough bad news for Buffy, she also catches Angel spending alone time with…..Drusilla?! And all of this in the same week she drops the big L word with Angel! Oh Buffy, this was a tough one.

Trick or Treat Weirdos? It’s spooky season in Sunnydale baby, and this episode does NOT disappoint! Buffy and the Scooby Gang dress up for hot girl Halloween (we see those abs Willow!) and volunteer to take some local kids trick or treating, when all the sudden everyone starts turning into their costume?!? Xander is an army dude, Willow is a ghost, and Buffy is an 18th century colonial woman / princess who has no idea how to kill a vampire. Super inconvenient costume choice Buffy! Plus it seems like Giles may have some sort of dirty secret? Say it ain't so our perfect tweed magic Watcher!

Frat guys often get a bad rap as being snakes, but of course in Sunnydale the frat guys here actually ARE snakes…or giant weird lizard things to be more specific. This week Buffy begrudgingly agrees to hit up a frat party with Cordelia, and what begins as a night out to spread her wings (and maybe make Angel a bit jealous?) turns into a night of avoiding getting sacrificed to a giant lizard frat guy. Will the Scooby Gang be able to save Buffy and Cordelia from the lizard demon? Will Angel finally get the hint, and just take Buffy out on a coffee date? Tune in to find out!

It’s a big week for the Scooby gang. Time for a fun-filled field trip to a museum in preparation for their cultural exchange program with students from all around the world. Buffy actually begins to bond with her mysterious exchange student and Xander can’t keep his eyes or lips *hint hint* off of her. Of course it’s only a matter of time until the happiness unravels, because this week Buffy and crew are getting wrapped up in some mummy issues. And we’re definitely not in Kansas anymore, because Oz has arrived, and he only has a heart for Willow. Could her days of eating raisins alone at the bar finally be coming to an end???

It’s finally happening. The moment Alaina and the entire Buffy the Vampire Slayer-loving universe has been waiting for: SPIKE. IS. HERE. That’s right — The bleached-blonde British baddie has sauntered into Sunnydale, and he’s not alone. He’s joined by Drusilla, who may currently seem feeble and harmless, but is as creepy as they come. This week, Buffy tries to survive her initial encounter with this dynamic duo, while Spike annihilates The Anointed One and fully cements himself as the new BIG BAD on the block.

Who is this vicious vamp who’s weakened Alaina’s knees since the 90s? What’s his history with Angel? And if he’s already killed two slayers, how can Buffy escape being his third? Get ready to sink your teeth into our most swoon-worthy episode yet, because now that Spike’s on the scene, Buffy, and this entire series, will never be the same again.

It’s science fair week at Sunnydale High, and everyone is bringing their A-game. Willow is working on winning first place (obviously), Cordelia is questioning whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable (it’s a fruit btw), and Chris Epp is building the “perfect girlfriend” made out of dead girls’ severed body parts. Only in Sunnydale! Chris’ science project / frankenstein girlfriend project is almost complete, but he’s convinced he needs Cordelia’s head as the final piece of his f’d up puzzle. So now Buffy and team have to save Cordelia (again), while also helping Giles with some much needed dating advice. To say they have their hands full this week is an understatement!

We are back for season 2 baby!!! After a summer of self-reflection and time spent with her dad, Buffy is reunited with the Scooby Gang, but something about her seems…off. She’s acting rude and bitchy…like Cordelia-level bitchy. And if that wasn’t enough drama, the Master is back (kinda) and haunting Buffy in her dreams, while the Anointed One is causing all kinds of shit in Sunnydale. If this is just the beginning of Season 2 we are gripping on for dear life to see what comes next.

It’s the season 1 finale, baby! And boy oh boy is it a heart stopper! This week we learn Buffy’s true prophecy and she tries to kiss her life as the slayer goodbye in hopes of living a “normal” teenage life. But suddenly everything goes awry. And we mean reeeealllllly awry – you know, like the type of awry where the Earth cracks open and a whole army of demons emerge? Buffy jumps back into action with help from The Scooby Gang (but with little help from Angel…WTF dude?), and we get an ending that no one saw coming. There will be tears, and zaddy issues, and prom dresses, oh my. It’s a heavy season finale, and you won’t want to miss it.
