A series of grisly murders of really stuffy British people lead straight to Giles, who gets drunk and pissy in response. Buffy and the gang rush to his rescue anyway, and Jenny Calendar becomes possessed by Eyghon, an ancient demon that Giles and his friends used to summon when they were younger to get high. (Man, and my parents said sniffing glue was dangerous!)

Trivia:

• In the game at the beginning of this episode, “Anywhere But Here”, Buffy wishes for a foot massage from Gavin Rossdale, who is the lead singer of the band “Bush”. Plus, he’s married to Gwen Stefani, which makes me hate him a little, due to extreme jealousy. Amy Yip, with whom Xander wants to visit a waterpark, is a sexy Hong Kong actress who is famous for having very large breasts. And everyone knows who John Cusack is…
• The photo of Giles holding the bass guitar that Xander finds in Giles’ office was created by the Buffy staff by photohoping his head onto a picture of Sid Vicious.

Quotes:

Xander: “That’s it! Twelve years of you and I’m snappin’! I don’t care if you’re a girl or not, I’m throwin’ down!”
Cordelia: “I’ve seen you fight. And don’t think I can’t take you!”

Xander: “Giles lived for school. He’s actually still bitter that there are only twelve grades.”
Buffy: “He probably sat in math class thinking, ‘There should be more math. This could be mathier.’”

Key Events:

• We learn Giles has a tattoo!
• We get a good look at Giles’ less-tweed-y past.
