Buffy is sweating Parent / Teacher conference night, and the best way to keep her mother away from Snyder. Little does she know, she has much bigger things to worry about when Spike and Drusilla hit town! (literally!)

Directed by: John T. Kretchmer
Original Air Date: September 29, 1997

Guest Stars:
James Marsters (Spike)
Juliet Landau (Drusilla)

Trivia:

• It is hinted that Principal Snyder knows more about Sunnydale and its foolishness than he is letting on…
• Though Spike refers to Angel as his sire, this is not technically correct. It was eventually shown (in Season Five’s “Fool For Love”) that it was actually Drusilla who sired Spike. For many of us, this was no surprise — Joss has been saying for ages that Dru was actually Spike’s sire. For example, on January 2, 1998 (about 3 months after “School Hard” aired), he said, “Angel was Dru’s sire — he made her — and she made Spike. But SIRE doesn’t just mean [the] guy who made you, it means you come from their line. Angel is like a grandfather to Spike.” Whether the line was originally intended with that interpretation, or whether it was a boo-boo that slipped through and Joss justifies that way, Joss has always maintained that in his mind (which is the only place the characters really live), Dru was Spike’s sire. – from BuffyGuide.com
