Review of Beneath You

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Beneath You (2002)
Season 7, Episode 2
8/10
Redemption is sometimes not deserved
23 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Buffy is having visions of young girls being chased and killed. A woman named Nancy is walking her dog when it is eaten by a giant worm monster. Buffy, Xander, Dawn and a revamped Spike help this woman solve what happened, especially when she is attacked again.

Why It's So Good - This is an episode where James Marsters perhaps shines more than he ever has (Though Fool For Love, Lies My Parents Told Me, Just Rewards are also great). This is a nice individual episode while keeping the story moving forward and personal issues (Xander/Anya, Willow/Giles) alive. Spike's stuggling to cope with his soul is incredible acting and Anya's guilt is something she never had before when she first became a demon.

Watch Out For - The dog disappearing.

Quote - "Sunnydale -- come for the food, stay for the dismemberment." - Xander.
