Bad Eggs
The scoobies are taken to “sitcom plot device land” as they are each given an egg to look after as an exercise in parenting. Of course, since this IS Sunnydale, the eggs do not contain sweet, fuzzy chicks, but rather vile, facesucking, mind-controlling “bezoars”. Luckily, Buffy and Xandor manage to avoid being taken over by the nasty creatures, and rush off to save their friends from…whatever that is under the school. Also, in this episode, we are introduced to two of the meanest, toughest, rootin-tootin-est vampires to ever walk the vast plains of California! (Those Gorch brothers rock!)

Quotes:
Giles: “I suppose there is a sort of Machiavellian ingenuity to your transgression.”
Xander: “I resent that… or, possibly, thank you.”
Tector: “That the Slayer?”
Lyle: “Yep.”
Tector: “Ain’t that Angelus with her?”
Lyle: “Yep.”
Tector: “Well, how come she ain’t slayin’? And how come he’s about to make me blush?”

What’s My Line, parts 1 & 2
It’s a two-fer this time on the Watchercast, as we discuss the two-part horror that is Kendra, the Vampire Slayer. She arrives in town at the same time as the Order of Taraka, sometimes human (sometimes bug) assassins that have been hired by Spike to keep the Slayer busy as he tries to find a cure for his creepy girlfriend, Drusilla. And, as with most things that take place on the Hellmouth, this cure requires a sacrifice…in this case, the sire of Drusilla, Angel. And Xander and Cordillia kiss. A lot.
