Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2
Episode: What's My Line (Part 2)
Synopsis: We left last week with Angel locked in a cage and about to be fried, Cordellia and Xander looking to become worm food and two Slayers facing off.
Two Slayers? Back when Buffy briefly drowned the next Slayer became mystically activated and has just been sent to Sunnydale because her watcher realised that Spike's plan for Drusilla was seriously bad mojo. Through Kendra Buffy gets to see what total dedication to the cause is like(Kendra was given up by her parents as a child when they realised she was destined to be a Slayer and she has been reared by her Watcher). The two butt heads but considering that the Order of Taraka is still after her and Spike planning to sacrifice Angel to heal Dusilla, Buffy needs all the help she can get.
Lots of squee in this ep with Oz and Willow stiking up a friendship and Xander and Cordilia making out in the best traditions of total opposites being brought together throgh adversity.

Synopsis: It is careers week at Sunnydale High and Standardised testing predicts Xander will be a prison guard, Willow will get headhunted by the very best, and Buffy... well - as if a career is an option for The Slayer.
This ep starts off as usual with Buffy moaning about being a teen slayer, but while business is usual for her, Spike is unravelling an old manuscript in an attempt to heal Drusilla. And because The Slayer is such a thorn in his side he decides to get the assasin Order of Taraka involved. Thus, three unknown figures arrive in Sunnydale, a bug man, a vampire, and teenage girl.

Episode 8
Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2
Episode: The Dark Age
Synopsis: A man comes to Sunnydale looking for Giles but ends up dead. And then un-dead.
Another non-Buffy episode(she has her moment but isn't central to the story). Giles past comes to visit on un-dead legs and while he is trying to deal with a demon possessed Miss Calendar, Willow has the work of finding the solution of killing the demon without cutting off their computer teacher's head.
Oh, and it was a really nice touch to show Miss Calendar's post-possession reaction. Classic post trauma(especially rape) body language. People don't just bounce back.

Episode 7
Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2
Episode: Lie to Me
Synopsis: Who knew there was a club in Sunnydale who's members worshiped vampires?
An old school friend from LA comes to Sunnydale. The first obvious thought is: Victim or Villain? There is some classic insecurity when the new(old) boy comes into town and Buffy sees Angel chatting to Drusilla. On the continuing storyline part of the episode Angel comes clean about Drussilla and how he made her the insane vamp she is.
This ep was worth it just for the closing scene between Buffy and Giles.
"Nothing is ever simple any more. I am constantly trying to work it out. Who to love or hate - who to trust. And it's just like the more I know the more confused I get."
"I believe that's called growing up."
"I'd like to stop then, okay?"
"I know the feeling"
"Does it ever get easy?"
"You mean life?"
"Yeah. Does it get easy?"
"What do you want me to say?"
"Lie to me."

Episode 6
Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2
Episode: Halloween
Synopsis: Halloween is suposed to be a quiet night for the undead, and you know as soon as Buffy says that things are going to go wrong(although, to be fair, the undead aren't responsible)
Is anyone surprised when kids turn feral at halloween, with all the sugar and excitement. Of course it doesn't help that there is a new costume shop in town and the owner has a mysterious altar out the back. Buffy gets to play helpless, Xander shows just how gung-ho he can be and Willow is a sight to behold(it is a pity you can see through her). We get a new villain who knows Giles and hints at him having a dark past, so while the episode was a bit run of the mill, we got some nice forboding and Buffy and Angel pashing at the end.
