Re-Watcher's Council | Buffy the Vampire Slayer S6E04 "Flooded" Spoiler Review

Buffy survived death. She survived a resurrection. She survived clawing out of her own grave. She is not going to survive the plumbing bill.The basement is flooded, the pipes need full replacement, Joyce's medical and funeral bills are still outstanding, and the Summers girls are flat broke. Buffy heads to the bank to apply for a loan — gets attacked by a mercenary demon mid-meeting — kills said demon — and still doesn't get the loan. Because that's just her life now.Oh, and someone hired that demon. Three someones, actually. Warren, Andrew, and Jonathan have officially formed a supervillain club in someone's basement, and they would very much like to be taken seriously. They will not be taken seriously.Meanwhile, Giles is back from England — and he is not happy. The conversation between him and Willow about the resurrection spell is one of the most quietly terrifying scenes the show has produced in a while, and it ends with Willow saying something that should make everyone in the room considerably more worried than they currently are.Snark and Fares dig into the episode where Season 6 fully commits to its thesis: the Big Bad this year isn't a demon or a god or a mayor. It's bills. It's consequences. It's growing up whether you want to or not.
