Yay! Speaking of nightmares: Lydia's boarding school of horrors

Emcee, Andie and David get into the psychological trauma of the Scooby Gang, the appropriateness of the repeated mention of Nazis and discuss what a terrible, terrible father Hank Summers is.

Time to talk about "Forever." Buffy's still in shock, Dawn's lashing out and  all the Scoobies are still grieving the loss of Joyce.  Amanda and Andrea chat about the slightly darker tone the show's taken, the vast difference between Tara and Willow's views on magic and how frustrated they are with Hank Summers. (plus how grateful they are for Angel in this episode)

In "No Place Like Home", as Joyce's sickness persists, a cryptic warning leads Buffy to believe her mother's been cursed. When Buffy casts a spell that allows her to see other spells, Dawn flashes in and out of reality. Buffy looks for clues at an abandoned warehouse, where she battles a tantalizing tow-headed titan and saves a monk with a world-changing secret. Kristen and Mike discuss the introduction to Glory, and the explanation for the suddent appearance of Dawn. In "Family", after her embarrassing fight against the slayer, Glory enlists the help of a Lei-Ach demon to remove the pesky Scoobies. Meanwhile, Tara's family comes to town to take Tara home with them so they can control her demonic nature! Tara, looking to hide her heritage from the Scoobies, casts a spell that prevents them from seeing monsters - which unfortunately includes the attacking Lei-Ach demons. We discuss Hank Summers, the importance of Cousin Beth, and Riley's nighttime activities. PLUS! We answer Erika's question: If you could switch out a character from a Buffy verse show and put in a another character from a different show played by that same actor, which character would it be?

Our hosts discuss possibly the darkest episode of Buffy this far by delving into some of our own worst nightmares, the problematic appearance of Hank Summers, and Haley's proudest/most enticing high school makeout session.
