EPISODE 136: FATAL DATING (S07E14 "First Dates")
“I’m going gay. I’ve decided I’m turning gay. Willow, gay me up. Come on, let’s gay!”
Deep social awkwardness is in the air as Xander engages in lightly fatal rope-play with a passing demon and Robin reveals his tragic backstory in the most Freudian way possible. The Buffy Boys have had enough of smother - MOTHER - in S07E14 "First Dates".
Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:
The Ashanti Paradox - using the empty set to unpack the swirling themes of Season 7
Motherhood and the Slayer and Robin's emotional inheritance
The Measure of a Man: shifting definitions of redemption through the eyes of Spike and Andrew
"Confidentially, a lot of her people are murderers"
