Episode 205

Reptile Boy

Buffy is enjoying a rare night off with Willow and Xander, while across town, a young woman is pursued by men in robes. The next day, Giles scolds Buffy for what he believes is her letting her Slayer training fall by the wayside. Cordelia introduces Buffy to two fraternity guys, one of whom sucks, the other who sucks even more, but we find that out later. After an upsetting, angsty run-in with Angel on patrol, Buffy decides to accept Cordelia’s invite to go to a fraternity party, lying to Giles about her plan that night. But, it turns out, the frat boys kidnap girls yearly to sacrifice them to a large demonic snake living in the basement of their frat house. They drug Buffy and Cordy, who wake up chained to the wall beside the snake demon. The rest of the gang finds this out and storms in to rescue the girls, but Buffy, of course, has it handled, cutting the head off of the phallic demon. Giles promises to take it easier on Buffy, and Angel finally asks Buffy out for a cup of coffee.
