The Harvest Re-watch — The Scooby Gang Begins in Buffy the Vampire Slayer S1E2

Sema and Sally break down Buffy the Vampire Slayer Episode 2, “The Harvest.” From Buffy’s battle with Luke to Jesse’s shocking turn and the Master’s underground rise. The two discuss how this episode cements the show’s tone, forms the Scooby Gang, and introduces the classic tension between Buffy’s slayer duties and her high-school life. They also share how watching it now, as adults (and mothers), changes how they relate to Joyce and the early themes of growing up and responsibility.
