This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re heading back to biology class for Teacher’s Pet, where Buffy loses a genuinely wonderful teacher, Cordelia finds a head in the fridge (Sunnydale High cafeteria vibes), and a mysterious substitute shows up with big “extra credit after class” energy. Spoiler: she’s a literal She-Mantis, because in this town even faculty recruitment is cursed.

We break down how the show tries to throw us off with “Fork Guy” — a clawed vampire who is very much not the threat — and how even he’s scared of our seductive substitute. We also get into the chef’s kiss levels of cringe high-school-boy behavior, from braggy locker-room fantasies to Xander’s “I swear I’m cool” meltdown, proving teenage hormones are almost as dangerous as giant mantis talons.

Plus: Buffy’s bat-sonar science moment and that egg-cluster stinger ending that absolutely says “this isn’t over”… even though thankfully, it kind of is.

Watch the video version on YouTube for extra clips and visuals, and follow us on socials to keep up with new episodes, behind-the-scenes chaos, and all things Buffy.

Slay along with us every Tuesday!
