No Place Like Home | Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 5 Episode 5 Review | Hellmouth Hotline

Episode: No Place Like Home | Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 5 Episode 5 Review Joyce is sick. Dawn is… complicated. And something ancient, powerful, and dangerously glamorous just strolled into Sunnydale looking for “the Key.” In this episode of Hellmouth Hotline, we dig into “No Place Like Home”—the hour that quietly detonates Season 5. Buffy gets her first real look at the new Big Bad, the truth about Dawn finally surfaces, and the Scoobies are left reeling as the ground shifts under everything they thought they knew about family. Join us as we unpack the monks, the memories, the hospital halls, and that brutal hallway fight. Spoiler-heavy, affectionately chaotic, and fully ready to scream about Glory. Hit play. There’s no place like the Hellmouth.
