Season 2 Episode 11: Ted
Buffy's mom gets a boyfriend and everyone loves him except Buffy, a feeling she finds out is mutual when he threatens her.
Things only get worse when a confrontation with him ends in his accidentally death. Now Buffy is facing the suspicions of the police, the shock and grief of her mother and her own despair at having taken a human life.
Naturally the Scooby gang decide to help and find out the Ted may not be the man that everyone thought they knew.
Fav Quote: Buffy: Can you say 'sucking chest wound?'
Fashion: Willow's on form in the cutest outfit and rockin' the hat look and Buffy's stonewash dungarees make another appearance. I've noticed she seems to wears these when she's feeling down or depressed. Which is odd.
Body Count: None
Health Class gets a whole new meaning when the eggs that everyone are given to raise as a parental exercise takes a typical 'Sunnydale is the worse place to live' spin and hatch, revealing mind-controlling face huggers that plan on taken over the town.
Before anyone can say 'Sigourney Weaver' Buffy is after the thing that controls the little horrors and finds herself underground and having to battle the monster mother from hell.
Can we just say eww and gross now.
Note: Buffy names her egg Egbert which is totally on point.
Fav Quote: Cordelia: "It's an egg, Buffy, it doesn't emote."
Fashion: Another blah kind of fashion episode.
Body Count: None
Buffy's birthday is just around the corner and the gang are plotting and planning to ensure that she can have at least one normal day in her life even if she is having frightening dreams foretelling that something terrible is about to happen.
Can't a girl ever catch a break?
Probably not when one lives on the Hellmouth and Spike and Dru are scheming something big.
The something big turns out to be a demon named The Judge, a being that can cleanse the Earth of humanity. All they have to do is to put all it's body pieces together and hey presto one big bad.
As Buffy and Angel fight to stop their plan their relationship moves closer and closer to it's inevitable next step.
Fav Quote:Buffy: You think he's too old 'cause he's a senior? Please. My boyfriend had a bicentennial.
Fashion: Once again Willow is rockin' the hat look. I totally love it and wish I could wear hats. Sadly there's not a hat on the planet that looks good on me.
Body Count: None
Birthdays suck, sex is bad and Buffy is an emotional wreck after Angel turns into Angelus, the demon with an angelic face and it's all because of her and their night together and the secrets Miss Calendar kept from them all.
With Angelus now on the Dark Side and tapping into his hidden Vader the gang have to work together to stop him and The Judge as they team up to annihilate humanity once and for all and Buffy has to pull herself together long enough to bring down the man she loves.
Fav Quote: Spike: No more of this 'I've got a soul' crap?
Angelus: What can I say? I was going through a phase.
Fashion: Buffy and her mom's sweats and socks look at the end of this episode look so comfortable and just the sort of thing I would wear after a day of slaying.
Body Count: 1
s2 has some of my least fave episodes, ted and bad eggs are up there. but then you get surprise/innocence in there and back to being my fave. you know, she does tend to wear those overalls when she's down, i'm pretty sure she wears that in the season finale when she skips town. coz i have the dvds, i like to watch the dvd commentary for surprise/innocence as well. i can't remember if joss does commentary on both but he definitely does it for innocence. it's so good.
ReplyDeleteinnocence probably has some of my fave buffy scenes of all time. willow/oz in the van, the willow/xander scene in the hallway after she finds out about him and cordy. when buffy confronts jenny after her dream, and then that scene with her and giles after. when angel joins back up with spike and dru. so much to love about this episode and that's not even counting when buffy uses the rocket launcher.
