the podsters & the
slayerettes
01. Anne 1998-09-29
As the school year starts, Buffy is working at a diner and living
incognito, using her middle name, Anne. But she decides she doesn't
like toiling in anonymity once she gets locked up in a runaway
shelter (that just happens to be a demonic realm).
02. Dead Man's Party 1998-10-06
Buffy gets the cold shoulder from her friends and family, who
are still miffed about her brief disappearance. As they work out
their differences, Buffy and Co. reunite to fight a demon named
Ovu Mobani (the creature resides in a Nigerian mask brought home
by Buffy's mom, Joyce).
03. Faith, Hope & Trick 1998-10-13
Buffy bristles when Faith (Eliza Dushku), the new Slayer in town,
charms everyone, including Buffy's new suitor, Scott Hope (Fab
Filippo). What's worse, Faith has been followed to Sunnydale by
a cloven-hoofed bloodsucker named Kakistos (Jeremy Roberts) and
his right-hand vampire, Mr. Trick (K. Todd Freeman).
04. Beauty and the Beasts 1998-10-20
Buffy discovers a discombobulated Angel in the woods. Is he responsible
for a series of recent maulings? Or is it a wolfed-out Oz? Nah,
it's Pete (John Patrick White), an amateur Dr. Jekyll who has
concocted a macho sauce that makes him go Hyde.
05. Homecoming 1998-11-03
Buffy and Cordelia vie for Homecoming Queen, while Trick organizes
Slayerfest '98. Attending this killer convention: a contingent
from Germany (led by Abercrombie), a yellow-skinned demon and
a vampire couple from the South (whose similarity to husband-and-wife
country superstars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill just might be coincidence).
06. Band Candy 1998-11-10
The town's adults pig out on candy sold to raise money for the
school band, then start acting, like, so immature. In fact, they
hardly notice when the seemingly nice-guy mayor helps provide
a gluttonous demon with the baby-eating monster's favorite snack.
07. Revelations 1998-11-17
Mrs. Post could use a book of Watcher etiquette. She is seeking
the all-powerful glove of Myhnegon - supposedly to prevent it
from literally falling into demonic hands, but actually for her
own not-so-benevolent purposes. Once donned, the glove can't be
removed - a situation Buffy likens to her own feelings for Angel.
08. Lovers Walk 1998-11-24
A lovelorn Spike kidnaps Willow and Xander because he needs Willow
to place a love spell on Drusilla. But a guilt-ridden Willow (still
in love with Oz) would rather brew up an "anti-lusting"
potion for herself and Xander.
09. The Wish 1998-12-08
Cordy tells new student (and demon) Anya (Emma Caulfield, of Beverly
Hills, 90210) that she wishes Buffy hadn't come to town. Anya
grants the wish, and in a Buffy-less Sunnydale, vampires rule.
10. Amends 1998-12-15
Angel is visited by "the First," an evil force that
appears in the form of Angel's past victims (including last season's
Jenny Calendar). These evildoers urge Angel to kill Buffy and
then himself. Meanwhile, Oz forgives Willow, but he declines her
very special Christmas offering - herself - explaining (in so
many words) that their relationship hasn't reached the point of
consummation.
11. Gingerbread 1999-01-12
A witch-hunt ensues when Buffy's mom finds two slain children.
Actually, the kids are a demonic force just trying to stir up
trouble, which is accomplished when the good moms of Sunnydale
form MOO (Mothers Opposed to the Occult).
12. Helpless 1999-01-19
On Buffy's 18th birthday, Giles reluctantly begins a cruciamentum
- an ancient ritual mandated by the Watchers Council in which
a Slayer is rendered powerless, then pitted against a vampire.
Buffy passes, but Giles fails his own secret test and gets fired
as her Watcher.
13. The Zeppo 1999-01-26
Xander thinks that his '57 Chevy Bel Air is the epitome of cool,
and a new gang of guys wants him to be its "wheel man."
Their initiation rites are simple: You gotta die.
14. Bad Girls 1999-02-09
Buffy rebuffs her new Watcher, Wesley Wyndham-Pryce (Alexis Denisof),
and takes up with Faith, who thoroughly enjoys the art of slaying.
But Faith goes too far, accidentally (and without remorse) killing
the mayor's aide.
15. Consequences 1999-02-16
Buffy pushes Faith to confess to killing the mayor's aide, but
Faith has developed a new bloodlust - for humans. The increasingly
naughty Slayer even bonds with Angel, who knows a thing or two
about bad impulses.
16. Doppelgangland 1999-02-23
The former wish-granting Anya, now a math-flunking mortal, enlists
an unsuspecting Willow to help recover her "power center."
Instead, their spell prompts the return of Evil Willow from episode
43.
17. Enemies 1999-03-16
Buffy and Faith's partnership in slaying is endangered when Buffy
realizes that Faith is moving in on Angel. And when Angel fails
to respond to Faith's seduction attempts, the mayor enlists a
shrouded sorcerer (who looks a lot like Darth Maul from the new
Star Wars movie) to steal his soul.
18. Choices 1999-05-04
A clunky episode. Faith captures Willow and stashes her in city
hall, where Willow kills a guard, discovers the Book of Ascension
and sits down to read (!). As for new Watcher Wesley, he's more
interested in the spiders than in Willow's life and makes a bargain
with the mayor. Sounds busy, yet nothing much really happens:
By the end of the episode, we're none the wiser about the Ascension.
The only real development is yet another change in Green's hairstyle
(now cropped).
19. The Prom 1999-05-11
A conscience-stricken Angel dumps Buffy right before the prom,
saying she deserves a regular relationship and that he'll leave
town after the Ascension. Another prom disaster-in-waiting: A
spurned boy named Tucker has trained brain-eating Hell Hounds
to attack the revelers.
20. Graduation Day, Part 1 1999-05-18
Faith shoots Angel with a poisoned arrow (from atop the aptly
named Sun Cinemas) and the only antidote is a good, long drink
of Slayer blood. So Buffy tracks down Faith and wounds her, but
the bad Slayer escapes.
21. Graduation Day, Part 2 1999-06-13
Buffy decides to cure Angel at any cost and makes peace with a
comatose Faith (who visits Buffy in a dream to stop the mayor's
Ascension).
22. Earshot 1999-09-21
Buffy reportedly slays a demon and inadvertently takes on one
of his powers: mind reading. Through the din of people's thoughts,
she overhears someone making plans for a killing spree at school.
In other developments, Buffy tries to mind read Angel to learn
about his true feelings for Faith, but she finds that her new
ESP doesn't extend to vampires. What is revealed during "Earshot"
is that Joyce and Giles had sex - twice, in fact - during episode
40.
