Storyline

Riley returns to Sunnydale while pursuing a demon and seeks Buffy's help in killing it. He also comes with a surprise... he is married. His wife, fellow demon hunter Sam, befriends the entire Scooby Gang and gets along quite well with all of them, but Buffy's own "relationship" with Spike comes into question when her ex's perfect romance shows her just what she doesn't have.

I'll have MY eggs sunny side up, please
4 August 2010 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

The Double Meat Palace claims another victim -- or saves the day -- your choice. The vampire in the graveyard who decides NOT to bite Buffy because she stinks from having worked at the DMP? Funny stuff!!!

Some really UNfunny stuff? 1.) Buffy, the 21 year old vampire slayer, giggling about Riley's "James Bond stuff", when he's in the middle of tracking demons -- something you'd THINK she would take a little more seriously. 2.) Buffy, to Spike: "Tell me you love me. Tell me you want me." (Now let me use you because I'm so insecure about Riley being back and being married to Sam.) But then again...she's Buffy.

Riley returns to Sunnydale with his beautiful wife, Sam, in order to fight demons and capture demon eggs. It causes Buffy to confront some things about herself that she constantly runs from. The problem is...when it comes to the end, and the big climax (no...not that kind of climax)...she runs again. As she's giving her ice queen speech to Spike about how she can't love him -- she leaves out the main part -- the WHY part. She can't love him because she can't ALLOW herself to love him -- not because he she doesn't REALLY love him. She remains, hers truly, Buffy.

Oh, and as a total aside...does Buffy wear THE BUTT UGLIEST COATS that have ever been made, or what?!!!
