Welcome back to Buffy Babes! This week we’re rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 Episode 3: School Hard. Spike shows up, the school gets locked down, Buffy takes charge, and Joyce proves she is not the mum to mess with. We get into Spike and Drusilla’s chemistry, why Snyder is the worst, the best one liners (Cordelia is on form), plus fun facts like the Die Hard reference and the first time we actually learn Joyce’s name.

Are you Team Spike-as-a-villain, or do you prefer him later on? And what’s your favourite moment from School Hard?

This week on Buffy Babes we’re rewatching Some Assembly Required, one of the creepiest early Season 2 episodes. We talk mad science vs magic, Chris and Eric as human villains, why Daryl’s choices make zero sense as parents now, and how this storyline has unfortunately aged very well. We also gush over Buffy’s outfits, Cordelia saving the tone of the episode, early Giles and Jenny flirting, and Angel dressing suspiciously like Xander.

Plus, we dive into major Buffy reboot talk, breaking down Sarah Michelle Gellar’s recent interview, what “continuation not reboot” actually means, possible episode counts, old characters returning (or not), and why we just want Buffy to be happy.

💬 Do you find this episode creepy, sad, or just frustrating? And what do YOU hope the new Buffy series does differently? Tell us in the comments!

Season 2 starts with angst. We’re talking Buffy’s trauma, dream sequences, vampire resurrections, iconic one-liners, Angel being extra romantic, and why this episode feels like the real beginning of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Plus reboot chat, nostalgia, and why this season just hits differently.🗨️ Where does Season 2 rank for you? Top tier or overrated?
