Fun Facts:

Natalie has her Spike action figure on hand to help her get through this very important episode of Buffy. Did she mention it is her favorite? In a shocking turn of events, this is the first episode Brittany is super excited to discuss. Kristen is binging The 100 before the season 4 premiere and it is a very intense experience. In other binge watching news, Karen is watching Luke Cage and we are all concerned about her level of enthusiasm.
