Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Beneath You (2002)
Season 7, Episode 2
5/10
Worm Holes & Souls
2 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
In "Beneath You", a giant worm starts stalking a woman all across Sunnydale. After a bit of investigating, the gang realizes that Anya and her vengeance demon ways are behind it. Buffy finds out that Spike has regained his soul and it is tormenting him to no end. Giles sends Willow back to Sunnyvale. She worries her friends will no longer accept her with open arms.

This one was a bit of a snooze. There's not too much going on here. Buffy starts her new gig, she finds out about Spike's newfound soul, but besides this... it's a kind of a drag. We spend a lot of time running around with Nancy who, for a minute, seems like she may be a tertiary character moving forward. But she's so put off by the gang and their strange antics that I doubt she returns to the show.

One thing of note though has been the opening to each of the first two episodes: both have been a girl running around some foreign city being captured and killed by cloaked figures. Who are these girls? Are they slayers? Buffy has now died twice so statistically there should be 3 slayers running around (one of them being Faith if she is still out there). That's really been the main intriguing point of the first two episodes. Hopefully it begins to pick up a bit soon.
