Buffy Boys 136 - Fatal Dating (S07E14)

Buffy Boys

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"
