The One Where Xander Is A Hyena...

I really love this episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. It's really interesting and unusual. Even though Buffy goes through so many different magical and mystery things in her life, this would not be one that I'd imagine.

In this episode, whilst at the zoo on a school field trip, Xander and other classmates get infused with hyena souls. So they're basically a human shell with all the animal instincts inside. Willow and Buffy don't know what is going on with Xander, just that he's acting usual and not like himself. He's being rude and obnoxious. And you know Xander. He is never rude or obnoxious. He and the other hyena-people are causing mayhem across the high school campus. They eat their new school mascot, a live pig. Ew, and awww. Poor piggy. Then they get in trouble and called to the principles office. That does not go well for Principle Flutie. They eat him. Yeah, ew. So, eventually they get turned back into normal people, but Xander is very devastated about the mayhem he had caused.

Overall, I give this episode a 9 out of 10.
