areas, you know, turn us on, turnthem on to the Sunnydale diaries.

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (02:12):
us on
either way.
It works.
. So in this episode, uh, relationship,if you want to call it that
between Buffy and Parker, Developsand they have some sexy time.
So, um, after, usually after I watch anepisode, I go to the IMDb trivia and see

(02:33):
if there's anything interesting there.
That's usually also where I go check.
I think you do the same thing.
The people that were in the episode,see if we know them from somewhere else.
But anyway, in the trivia for thisepisode, there was an item about Joss,
has said that Sarah Michelle Gellar didn'tthink it was, appropriate her, for Buffy

(02:55):
to have sex with Parker because it'stoo soon after she and Angel broke up.
Joss talked her into it, into it bytelling her, when you go to college,
you do stupid things, which is true.
So, so we thought we, you know,since we love to share with you
guys and I'll take all the skeletonsout of the closet, let's talk about

(03:17):
stupid things we've done in college.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: You want to start? (03:22):
undefined
You want me to start?

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315: will start with something I did (03:24):
undefined
like probably the first week ofmy first semester of college.
There was A guy that lived in my dormand he was like the most, it was 1989.
So the most alternative looking guy inmy dorm and he had like, I don't know if
he had a Mohawk or he had some somethingwith his hair and you, you know, you

(03:46):
could just tell this guy was like allabout the cure and, uh, bands like that.
So I wrote him a note andput it under his door.
It was, it wasn't quite, do you like mecheck yes or no, but it was almost that.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: There was a maybe also, (04:04):
undefined

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315: There might have been a baby. (04:05):
undefined
Um, and I, I know in the note, I did askif he had a girlfriend and, uh, he left me
a note under my door and, uh, he did havea girlfriend, but he was very nice anyway.
And I think it when we'd see eachother in passing from then on he
said hi, but that was pretty dumb.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: there was a guy that I had fallen (04:24):
undefined
for, like, not love, but likea hard crush, um, like really,
really bad and he was straight.
Um, and I knew that.
And we were, like, we were, wewere both friends, and we had
a group of friends in common.
And he had mentioned just somethingabout he had wanted an Argyle scarf.

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (04:48):
uh huh.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: And I went to Macy's, bought an (04:49):
undefined
Argyle scarf, opened up a Macy'scredit card to pay for the Argyle
scarf, which, that's a stupid mistake.
Never, if you are young,never open store credit cards.
Um, And then gave it to him and saidthat my friend Sharon bought it for him.

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (05:09):
Oh

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: Because I didn't want (05:11):
undefined
to say it was from me.

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315: And how'd that work out for you? (05:12):
undefined

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: I mean, he was appreciative, but, (05:15):
undefined
you know, didn't, didn't, didn'thelp me with, you know, the crush.

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (05:21):
It didn't it didn't advance your standing with him

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318 (05:25):
No,

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (05:26):
No.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: no, it did not. (05:26):
undefined
It did not advance my,

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (05:28):
all

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: uh, standing with the straight man. (05:28):
undefined

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (05:30):
right.
I got another one from my first year.
Um, if my college roommatelistens to this, I, I hope
she can remember some of this.
Uh, there was a guy that I had a big crushon and he worked at the, it was called
the Rathskeller University of Miami.
And it was kind of like abar, restaurant y place.

(05:52):
I don't know.
It was where everybody went and they hadmusic and dancing and food and drinks.
he worked there as some kindof manager or something.
And so, um, The way I lethim know that I was into him.
This isn't the, this isn't the poorchoice part, but this is just funny.
And, and I guess thisis considered stupid.
So I on purpose didn'twear my glasses that night.

(06:16):
Um, And he was like
talking to people.
And so this was me.
I can't see anything.
And I just stared at himlike the whole night.
And the best part was I didn't have tobe too brave because I couldn't see.
So I couldn't tell if he was.

(06:36):
Acknowledging or seeing me staring at him.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: Right. (06:39):
undefined

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315: It worked out. (06:40):
undefined

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: Nice. (06:41):
undefined

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (06:42):
himself.
Uh, so the, the dumbest part ofthat is, uh, he called me one night.
Nothing, nothing really happened.
I think we kissed.
And then, um, he called me late onenight and he was obviously really
drunk and he was like, come over.
To my dorm room.
I was like, all right, I was allready to do something really stupid.

(07:02):
And, but then I spent so muchtime like putting on makeup and
getting ready to go over there.
When I got there, he had passedout and wasn't answering his door.
So he saved me from doingsomething really stupid.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: Right. (07:15):
undefined
Oh, man.

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (07:17):
But that whole thing itself was kind of stupid.
I was, I feel like thattime for me was so innocent.
I don't even know if I was likegoing all the way with, with
the boys at that point, you

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: I'm going all the way. (07:28):

undefined
Like I wrote, I wrote a poemfor a boy in my poetry class.

Yes,

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (12:46):

That alters the color of his shirt.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318 (13:29):
Then his shirt should have been rose, not teal.
All the writers on this show, editors,

I know.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318 (13:36):
no one thought to say, Huh, that's not teal.

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (13:39):

They just kind of stopped playing andthen they all walked off the stage
and Oz was like, all right, let's go.

So I wrote down unstable relationship,like, this is not what I mean.
And Melanie's going to know what I mean,but then it finally popped into my head.

didn't know any of their other stuff.
Biff Naked is actually thename of the lead singer.
Her stage name, anyway,she's a Canadian person.
Um, let's see.
Uh, we also, as they panning aroundthis party, we see some dude juggling
beer bottles, as you do at a party.

Like, actively bleeding neck wounds.

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (27:53):

they're carrying him around, though.
Then Buffy and Spike have some littleinteraction and, and he run bolts
out the door and, uh, leaves harmthere, but, uh, um, Buffy follows
him outside and they have a fight.
And this fight.

(28:14):
Uh, the stunt double being evidentwas very evident in this fight scene.
that person is not even the sameshape as, as Sarah Michelle Gellar.
I saw a funny, uh, reel todayit was one of the, uh, other
podcasts, I think it was about this.
Where they were making fun of how obviousthe, uh, the stunt doubles are in Buffy.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: And Harmony being Harmony yells out, (28:40):
undefined
As soon as we have the gem of Amara,

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (28:44):
Yeah.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: you'll be sorry! (28:45):
undefined
And Spike gets very angry.

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (28:49):
yep.
Yeah, he drags her away.
Not before telling us that, uh,Drusilla dumped him for a fungus demon.

undefined

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315 (28:59):

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-20-2025_182318: Yeah, last time it was a chaos demon. (29:02):
undefined
Now it's a fungus demon.

bif-naked_1_02-20-2025_182315: Chaos and fungus. (29:05):

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: If you're watching this, you may (29:11):
undefined
notice that Melanie and I looka little different suddenly.
Uh, we don't know what happened,but we lost, uh, the last 20
minutes of Melanie's video.
So, I think we're a good 20 minutes.
So rather than, you know, having yousit there and just watch me talk to
nothing for 20 minutes, which I did sitthere a little bit, it's very weird,

(29:32):
cause I, I say something and thenI just sit there for a few seconds.
And then I talk again.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644 (29:39):

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: We have decided to (29:39):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: uh, a fun contest or a (29:40):
undefined
thing where we release that.

Okay, so, uh, Harmony and Spike ranoff after mentioning Gem of Amara.
I did see that one of the IMDB trivia,uh, points was that Amara means
eternal or imperishable in Hindi.

(30:15):
So.
Yeah, if that is true, you know,somebody just didn't throw a effect
in there without checking it,that's actually some good research.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644 (30:23):

when we're ready to move, things we wantto do, or have to do in the house, and
my husband put a packed disco ball as oneof the items, so, it's very important.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: Yeah. (31:10):
undefined
This is important.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: So, while, while hanging the (31:13):
undefined
disco ball, Anya walks in.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: Yes, She has a plan. (31:16):

Like the first

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Very convenient. (32:04):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: is, oh yeah, here it is. (32:05):
undefined
It's from the 10th century.
Vampires are interested in it.
I would imagine that a lot of people wouldbe interested in it, not just vampires.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Who else? (32:16):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: Well, I don't know anybody that wants (32:18):
undefined
to be, uh, immune to danger or, or, or

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Yeah, because it's not just (32:25):
undefined
sunlight, it's impenetrable.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.

undefined
Um, how they have a daylight ring.
Um,
which, so, I mean, that's like, that'slike the main thing that I think that
this would be good for any vampire.
Like the Gem of Amarr would be good for.
But you're right, it's not justdaylight, it's, you can't be killed.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: when I'm working with my glass, (32:52):

undefined
more research on it.
We go back to Harmony and Spikein a very fancy bedroom, which I

Words of affection, not his love language.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: No, definitely not. (33:57):
undefined
Physical Touch, maybe, but probably not.
Um, she's asking him ifAntonia Banderas is a vampire.

But no, he was Armand, which Idon't agree with that casting.

Um, so, oh, then we're atthe, um, the Wolf House party.
Um, Buffy makes up some crazy storyabout Spike, you know, how he,

(36:18):
he's not supposed to drink and soshe had to help him out and then
Parker's like, did you, um, date him?
Or did you guys do, did you were together?
And the laugh she gives islike such an insane person
laugh.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Yeah. (36:30):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: really was a little scary. (36:31):
undefined
If he were a normal guy, I think atthat point, Parker would be like,
okay, red flag with this girl.
What the hell is that?
But

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: And then they start slow. (36:41):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644 (36:42):
So, he's gonna let that crazy laugh slide.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: They start slow dancing. (36:46):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: yeah, they have a nice slow (36:48):
undefined
dance to a terrible song.
Um, and then some deep conversation,looking at each other's eyes.
And he's like, that, oh, that hewas pre med and switched to history,
which, I don't even know why youwould be a history major, um, and I

(37:11):
guess you're just gonna be a teacher.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Yeah, if, if, if you are a history (37:13):

Um, there was a moment, this is beforethe twist and, and, you know, we find
out what kind of a person he really is.
And he's like, he kisses herand he's like, is this okay?
You know, and I was like, Oh, consent.
That's nice.
But then, but then it turned later on,you find out it was just manipulation.

undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: there's a montage of (37:57):
undefined
kissing, and sexy time,

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: and Giles calling (38:02):
undefined
in the middle of it.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: of it. (38:05):
undefined
Okay, look, this is, this is oneof those full disclosure things.
Has that ever happened to you?
Have you ever got a phone call when you'rehaving, like, fooling around with someone?

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Um, no, but I remember that my husband (38:14):
undefined
and I were, this was like right when westarted going out, and he had a roommate.
Now they lived on opposite sidesof the house, but right when it was
over, Hey Mike, can you move your car?

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: Do you think they were (38:31):
undefined
waiting outside the door,

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. (38:33):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: for a while? (38:35):
undefined
I was once having, um, sexy phonetime with, with a guy and his
roommates picked up the phonewhile we were in the middle of it.
Hey, I need the

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641 (38:45):
Uh,

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: Oh, being a human is fun (38:49):
undefined

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Ha ha ha ha, yep. (38:50):
undefined
Now, we don't find out until the verynext scene, but we don't know if it's
in Buffy's room or Parker's room.
So I thought Giles is calling andleaving this message on, we find
out later, it's an actual answeringmachine, it's not voicemail.
So imagine if it was in her room,

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: answering machine is talking, you're (39:12):
undefined

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: and it's Giles saying, Hey, (39:14):
undefined
call me, it's very important.
Mood killer.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644 (39:20):
Um,

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: we do find out in that next scene that (39:20):
undefined
it's, uh, in Parker's room, a messy room.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: messy, messy room. (39:26):

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Yeah, twin bed. (39:29):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: It's a good thing he's a cute guy. (39:30):
undefined
You know, like if you went in thatroom, First like before getting
to know him and I don't knowthat would be a red flag for sure

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: There's that one Friend episode, I think (39:41):
undefined
it was the one with the dirty girl,where Ross walks in, and I mean it's not
just dirty, it's just like disgusting.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: couch (39:49):
undefined
He's like takes somethinggoopy on his hand.
Yes gross I I dated a guy who's his Iwouldn't even use his bathroom because
it was like and know looking backin hindsight It's like oh my gosh.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Oh yeah. (40:10):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: So anyway, she wakes up in (40:11):
undefined
his room and she's alone.
And she thinks that he left her laying

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Yeah. (40:18):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644 (40:19):
And so she's like looking for her clothes.
But then he comes in.
He's so sweet.
He brought coffee.
Oh, he's so nice.
And um, they have another sweet moment.
And then he says, you know, Ican't hang out too long because
my mom's coming to visit.
And I don't know.
But I'll give you a call later.
Um,

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Yeah. (40:41):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: but you know, everything (40:44):
undefined
again seems on the up and up.
That's fine.
Whatever.
She's, she's happy.
She's in like the afterglow.
then we go back to Xander andAnya post sex and she says, okay,
well, I guess I'm over you now.
And he says,

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: And he's like, okay! (40:58):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: okay. (40:59):
undefined
Although he does seem awkward about it.
He's so shaken up.
Like what, what just happened?
What is going on?
But okay.
I guess wasn't the right answer.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Yeah. (41:10):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: Okay. (41:11):
undefined

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: And then, to the next dysfunctional (41:14):
undefined
couple, Spike and Harmony,
they're still fighting.
He says, I love syphilis morethan you, which that's pretty bad.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644 (41:23):
Wow.
Wow.
Yeah.
There's a lot of, uh, dysfunctiongoing on here for sure.
Um, back to Buffy's dorm room.
She walks in and, uh, she's like,walks in, doesn't even look, and she
starts, you know, getting her, her nightbefore clothes off and, and we hear
good morning and just Giles and, and,uh, Will over there on the computer.

(41:44):
Whoops.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Yeah. (41:46):
undefined
Buffy's an adult, Giles is not her father.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: mother, and (41:53):
undefined
nothing's as awkward as

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Twice. (41:57):
undefined
On a police car hood.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: Um, he says the gem may exist after (42:00):
undefined
all, and so, Buffy's gonna go findSpike, and they're gonna go back
and uh, try and find the tunnel.
Um.
And then, uh, Giles leaves andWillow wants all the details.
Well, not all the details, but you know,some of the details and, and Buffy's
happy and, you know, it's this wholenew relationship thing, which is great.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: He's gonna call later. (42:23):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: yeah, he's going to call. (42:24):
undefined
Huh.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: And then, the montage. (42:28):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: Yeah. (42:31):
undefined
So, um, Oh, but first, um, we're inthe tunnel and, uh, Spike is saying,
okay, we're, we're close and, uh,okay, from, from now on, nobody leaves.
You got to stay here and Harmony,of course, is like, ah, whiny,
you know, I want to go do stuff.
And she starts whining and lackeys alllike roll their eyes and leave because

(42:52):
they know there's about to be an argument.
Ah, they're all like, ah,
it's tough to be a

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: And then, yes. (42:58):
undefined
I would not want to be a lackey.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: And then we've got the awful (43:01):
undefined
alternative song in the backgroundand the montage of him not calling.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: And spike drilling. (43:11):
undefined
But yeah.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: And Spike drilling, like, on a (43:12):
undefined
scaffold, drilling upward, all therock is just falling on his head.
He's got a

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: It doesn't seem practical. (43:21):
undefined
Yeah.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: uh, way to get that done. (43:23):
undefined

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Yeah. (43:25):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: I don't know how else you (43:26):
undefined
would do it, but that seemed,

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: But not that way. (43:29):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: like Wile E. Coyote. (43:29):
undefined
Um, okay.
So Spike finds the crypt.
Very exciting.
And the gem, the gem that he putson turns out to not be the gem.
And it turns out that it's actuallya ring that Harmony put on.
And he only finds this out aftershe annoys the hell out of him

(43:49):
once again, and he spikes her,

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: He stakes her. (43:52):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: uh, it's just, yeah, (43:53):
undefined

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: He spiked her last night. (43:54):
undefined
Now he stakes her.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644 (43:57):
her.
And it heals up in a bit of awful CGI.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641 (44:01):
CGI.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: yeah, yeah, yeah. (44:02):
undefined
Yes, pretty much.
Um, and then, uh, so he takes the ring.
and her feelings are all hurt andstuff because he's, you know, more
interested in that, obviously, than her.
And then, uh, he's out.
Now we're back

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: In Yes, Giles. (44:19):
undefined
Giles has a TV!
Giles has a TV!

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: Willow's like, maybe it's just for art. (44:25):
undefined
It doesn't really work.
It's just an art piece.
No, it works.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: It works. (44:32):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: And they find out that there's (44:32):
undefined
a big sinkhole at UC Sunnydale.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: From all the drilling. (44:37):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: that's the tunnel. (44:38):
undefined
So they take off to go there.
Um, Um, Then we're on campus, uh,and this is where things turn.
Buffy sees Parker talking to someother girl, and he's giving her the
sad story about his dad passing away.
Ugh.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641 (44:58):
She doesn't get angry though, she gets hurt.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: She gets hurt, (45:00):
undefined

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Yeah. (45:02):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: he totally gaslights her, and he's (45:03):
undefined
like, What, you know, I thoughtwe were having fun, and, and she's
like, Did I do something wrong?
And she apologizes him.
Oh, it made me

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: And when she said that, (45:14):
undefined
did I do something wrong?
That's almost exactly or prettyclose to what she said to Angel back
in season two in Innocence rightafter they did the night before.
So, yeah.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: she needs a therapist, (45:29):
undefined

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: For many reasons. (45:32):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644 (45:33):
Yes.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641 (45:34):
yes.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: a side. (45:35):
undefined

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Yeah, just, just, (45:37):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644 (45:38):
Oh,

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: being 18 year old and stuff. (45:39):
undefined
Yeah.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: so OK, so he's he's a jerk. (45:43):
undefined
Parker leaves.
He said his exit line islike, I really got to go.
And he just

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: See ya! (45:51):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: and she's like, what? (45:52):
undefined
And she chases him.
She chases him.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Yeah. (45:57):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: I did this all wrong. (45:57):
undefined
I you know, and she wants to like,make it right and work it out.
And he's like, no, no, no, it's cool.
We'll hook up later.
And he, and he puts it outturns or no, then we hear Spike.
Once he says something like, wow, that

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: That was pathetic. (46:11):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: that. (46:12):
undefined
Yeah.
And she turned aroundand he punches her out.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: A hard punch. (46:15):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: Yeah. (46:16):
undefined
Yeah.
Um, then we have a big fightscene, Buffy versus Spike.
And, uh, well, Buffy's a stuntdouble who is shaped nothing
like Sarah, Michelle Gellar.
And, uh, her face is plainlyobvious in several shots.
And it's like, Oh God.

(46:38):
Buffy, uh, stakes him.
It has no effect, uh, yeah, not good.
Um,

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: In the middle of all that, Willow, (46:46):
undefined
Oz, and Giles go to that crypt.
They find Harmony in there.
Yeah, he was my platinum baby.
Uh,

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: out and you think she's gonna attack (47:00):
undefined
them, but she does not attack them.
She tells them what happened andhe took the ring and I would have
just given it to him and, aww.
Poor Harm.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Hmm, yeah. (47:11):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: back to the fight! (47:12):
undefined
Um,

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Xander shows up (47:15):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: shows up for like a second and (47:16):
undefined
gets thrown up against a wall.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: hard, you know. (47:21):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: Um, Buffy, Buffy. (47:24):
undefined
Buffy, finally, I just combinedthose two words, Buffy.
Buffa.
Buffy
gets the ring off of his finger.
And he runs away back down underground.
Now, in other episodes, we'veseen sunlight's effect on

(47:44):
vampires, and they burn up fast.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: I, I, this is my theory, is, It has to (47:48):
undefined
be direct sunlight, So if he was under atree and it was like through the leaves
and all dappled, It wouldn't be instant,he would maybe like start smoking, But
it wouldn't be like instant immolation.
That is my, that is my theory.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: Alright, Sean. (48:05):
undefined
I'll let it go.
do not agree with your theory,but I'm gonna let it go.
Cause I'm an adult.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Okay. (48:12):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: Okay. (48:12):
undefined
Um, so, um, Then we cut back to,I guess we're back at Giles place.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Mm hmm. (48:20):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: about what to do with the ring, and Giles (48:20):
undefined
says we have to it, and says no, andshe decides that it should go to Angel.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Right. (48:31):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: I've got a gig in LA, so (48:32):
undefined
I'll bring it to Angel,

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Convenient. (48:35):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: I suppose is going to help him (48:36):
undefined
a lot in his new job, role,

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Yeah, yeah. (48:41):
undefined
He helps the helpless.

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: Yeah, that's a good thing (48:43):
undefined
to have that in that ring.

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: Yeah. (48:46):
undefined

two-take-melanie_1_02-24-2025_150644: I saw in the IMDb trivia that this (48:47):
undefined
was like part of a crossover thing.
you remember

devon-s-crop-top_1_02-24-2025_150641: It was. (48:53):
undefined
I do, I think this was the first fullcrossover, cause like, I remember we
talked about it in the pilot, he calledher on Angel, she picked up on Buffy, but
that wasn't really a true crossover, butthis one was, so Oz and Spike both crossed
over into Angel, uh, I mean long storyshort, uh, Angel destroys the ring, cause

(49:15):
even he shouldn't have that much power,
