Spike receives delivery from Warren of a package that confuses the Scoobies while Buffy is out of town on a desert quest. Spike’s problems only intensify when Glory’s minions become convinced that he is, in fact, the Key. The Scoobies are determined to prevent Spike from revealing the identity of the true Key to Glory even as they are concerned by Buffy’s sudden obsession with saving him at all costs.
Hear us discuss…
- Shake that gourd, Daddy Giles
- We too would like you to ask us how our money is
- Could DEATH be Buffy’s gift? So hard to say
- We concur: the Buffy Bot is gross and obscene

April is a perfectly ordinarily girl looking for her boyfriend, Warren. Except by “ordinary” we mean “robot” and by “robot” we mean sexbot. Yes, there’s a new robot in town, and this time Joyce isn’t the one dating it. When April crosses paths with the Scoobies, they have to track down Warren before her search results in broken bones as well as broken hearts.
Hear us discuss…
- Way to go, Joyce, going on a date with a human!
- However gross you think this is, it’s worse
- Joss Whedon sure loves stories about reprogramming women
- Buffy, you didn’t fail a girlfriend test. Riley failed the boyfriend test. A lot.
- What are the chances Spike’s business with Warren won’t be creepy?
Trigger warning
Misogyny

A train full of suckjobs alerts Buffy that a new vampire might be active in town. Despite his attempts to help, Spike finds himself reBUFFed at every turn. Could he be somehow in the wrong? Of course not. Don’t worry, everyone Spike has figured out the problem: it’s women. Women are definitely the problem here.
Hear us discuss…
- It would be nice to have a Black character who doesn’t die horribly
- Shut up and think about what women go through, Xander
- Way to make things awkward for Joyce, Spike
- Harmony must be protected at all costs!
- It’s not love; it’s just sparkling obsession
Trigger warnings
Misogyny, neck snapping
