Welcome to Once More, With Spoilers, where Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs revisit every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one at a time — for the SECOND time! — this time discussing each episode with spoilers! Somehow the biggest surprise on the pod today has nothing to do with Buffy turning 17 and everything to do with Grimace — the beloved (party throwing?) (Gemini?!?!) purple BEST FRIEND of Ronald McDonald. In Sunnydale, Jenny is revealed as Janna, Cordelia is revealed from behind a pool table, Angel's boobs are revealed at both his bedtime and Buffy's bedtime, and Drusilla HATES THE FLOWERS, FIX THEM!!!!
