Joyce introduces Buffy to her new boyfriend, Ted. Everyone loves Ted! He can cook! He’s the best computer software salesman at his firm! He makes the best cookies ever! So what the heck is wrong with Buffy?
It’s a two-fer this time on the Watchercast, as we discuss the two-part horror that is Kendra, the Vampire Slayer. She arrives in town at the same time as the Order of Taraka, sometimes human (sometimes bug) assassins that have been hired by Spike to keep the Slayer busy as he tries to find a cure for his creepy girlfriend, Drusilla. And, as with most things that take place on the Hellmouth, this cure requires a sacrifice…in this case, the sire of Drusilla, Angel. And Xander and Cordillia kiss. A lot.

Trivia:
We get several visits to “Willy’s Tavern” in these episodes, a shady bar that caters to the shadow-y supernatural type.
We get the second slayer showing up in this episode because, even it was for a short time, Buffy did die in the final episode of Season 1.
Quotes:
Angel: “You’re in danger, do you know what this ring means?” Buffy: “I just killed a Superbowl Champ?”
Buffy: “You and bug people, Xander…what’s up with that?”
Something went odd with the forums and we’re looking into it.
