𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 4 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 11: “𝑫𝑶𝑶𝑴𝑬𝑫”

Just as Buffy and Riley begin figuring out what their relationship looks like without secrets between them, an earthquake suggests that Sunnydale's Hellmouth may not be finished causing trouble. As a demon gathers the ingredients needed to reopen it and unleash an apocalypse, the Scoobies find themselves back where it all began, confronting old fears, old wounds, and the possibility that the future doesn't have to repeat the past.

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD. Yes. AGAIN.

Come along with us for our discussion on just how convenient it suddenly is to open the Hellmouth this way, the return of that classic high school energy, and why everyone seems to be struggling with the same insecurities they thought they'd left behind. Hear our thoughts about Spike realizing he can hurt demons, Courtney's desire to explore the decaying ruins of Sunnydale High, and our honest thoughts on Riley's inability to take no for an answer.

Plus, we spend some time unpacking the growing tension between Buffy and Riley, looking at the situation from both perspectives and discussing why their relationship may be cracking under the weight of unspoken expectations.
