Meanwhile, The TDT have their sights on a proxy magical ballsack that will get them yoked so they can finally face off with the slayer! AND! Willaralow enjoy a short-lived makeup!

Beneath You
When a dying woman cryptically dream-warns Buffy that From beneath you- it devours- Buffy is worried! What fresh fuckery is the hellmouth cooking up now!?

Villains
We start where we left off last week! Willow snaps out of her shock and tells Oh-sy-sye to get his ass here and bring Tara back, but gets bad news! It's a no for him, dawg... Buffy is still in grave peril and is swooped to HIPAA Violation Memorial Hospital. Armed with the knowledge of Warren's fakery, Willow decides to take an even lower road than we would (probably)! She calls upon the actual forces of darkness to avenge Tara! Good for her! Rewatch, Listen & Laugh as Mikie reveals a memory that haunts him, Ash finds a new top episode of the season, and Alaina and Mikie think about writing a…

Normal Again
With the season finale quickly approaching, we're clued into what is going on with the Incel Brigade! They are on the yam, and things are NOT so peachy-keen! Distrust and angst are definitely contributing to the pressure cooker that is their living situation To avoid Buffy finding their hideout, Andrew unleashes a demon that stings Buffy, giving her INTENSE hallucinations of an alternate reality where Sunnydale doesn't exist, and the Scoobs NEVER were. Rewatch, Listen & Laugh as Alaina turns into a wish version of a Scottish person, Mikie talks about his two bands, and Ash hopes that Anya…

Hell's Bells
Riley's visit MAY have renewed Buffy's hope in her happy ending, but it seems to have caused ripple effects in Xanya's Relationship! It's the BIG DAY, and everyone is getting ready for Xanya to walk down the aisle and make it official! Well.. all except for some old dude that looks like Daddy from this season's "All the Way". When he pulls Xander aside and cautions him to NOT marry Anya- the day gets SUPER messy! Rewatch, Listen & Laugh as we laugh about an old man's magic ball, Ash gets crestfallen about the state of our friends in Sunnydale, and Alaina & Mikie put on their best game faces…

As You Were
REWATCHERS!!! We will be taking next week off, but will return with S6E16: Hells Bells on 2/26/25! So we THOUGHT that last week was a new beginning, but within a few minutes Buffy is romping in the grass with Spike and continuing her downward trajectory. #SadTrombone! She can't seem to catch a break! Her job sucks. She got rejected by UC Sunnydale AND a certain cornfed failure is back in town, and she's wearing an ugly cow hat. Watch Buffy TRULY hit rock bottom! (We hope???) Rewatch, Listen & Laugh as Mikie dives deep into Riley & Buffy's past, Ash gives Riley and Sam a spicy nickname, and…

Older and Far Away
Even after Dawn's call for help last week, the gang proves they STILL don't have their listening ears on. But luckily for Dawn, there is a new Guidance Counselor who is HERE to listen to her concerns, her troubles, her wishes. In other news, it's Buffy's 21st birthday, and it's a full house! They have conveniently invited Tara. Xanya has invited a dudebro that he works with. Buffy has invited someone with gastrointestinal issues, and Spike is crashing with his card buddy, Clem. But when no one is able to leave, the gang quickly realizes that there might be something magic afoot! Rewatch &…
