About this episode

The episode discusses Buffy's struggle with her identity and sexuality while the Scoobies face their own challenges without her.

Our girl is BACK, except no she's not because she ran away and is living under a false identity. While Buffy fights her inner demons the rest of the scoobies are fighting actual demons without the help of the Slayer, but a familiar face might be what Buffy needs to set her back on the right path. THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT COMING TO TERMS WITH YOUR SEXUALITY. IT IS A QUEER ALLEGORY. ANNE IS GAY MEDIA
