I want to talk about Buffy and Angel's relationship in Ted (and, I guess, Bad Eggs as well, a little). And I think it's a good time to look at them together - for one thing, at this point, post-What's My Line, I think they are definitely in a relationship, rather than the weird murky situation they were in for most of the early season. And in two episodes time, Angel's going to lose his soul - this is basically the peak of their Season 2 relationship, and also of what I see as Angel's pre-'Surprise' arc, of him gradually becoming less of a complete fucking disaster.
So now in Ted, we see them together as boyfriend and girlfriend, and... well, the scene starts with her talking his ear off complaining about Ted and him clearly bored. It's not as bad as it sounds - he's pretty good in this scene, and gives Buffy some sensible advice. (Ignoring the fact that Ted turns out to be abusive and also a robot, which isn't a factor yet.) This might be the first time in the series that Angel actually seems more emotionally mature than Buffy, and he uses that maturity to be a good, supportive boyfriend helping her through her issues...
But...
This is also a scene where Buffy is very much a teenager and Angel very much isn't. (This is also in an episode partly about Buffy's parental issues, which seems relevant to their relationship but I'd like to ignore for ick reasons.) His maturity is an advantage here, but there's also a clear disconnect between them, and that becomes more apparent as Angel gradually works his way towards being a functional person.
Bad Eggs is similar. Again, we see the positive side of their relationship, in the form of fun makeouts, but we also see the shadow of deeper problems in their relationship from a long-term perspective - the fact Angel can't have kids, Buffy's immaturity and inability to think about the future (for both normal teenager and doomed slayer reasons).
I am glad we get this period of them being mostly happy together, of their relationship mostly working - it's not just all-angsty- melodrama-all-the-time, a common failure state for their relationship and for Buffy as a whole. But even at the best of times, the issues in their relationship are always present - not the grand, dramatic problems that are the focus of Season 2, but the mundane issues that are the reason they ultimately break up in Season 3.

Here's something I'd love to know if other Bangel fans out there have noticed.
In the episode Bad Eggs, when Buffy and Angel are having a conversation in the cemetery about what Buffy would want her future to look like she says "Angel when I look into the future all I see is you, all I want is you." and Angel says "I know the feeling." and they begin kissing and the camera pans out to a gravestone that says 'In Loving Memory' and what 2 episodes are next?
Surprise and Innocence.
Such a purposeful moment placed there for us to know Buffy and Angel would never be this version of themselves again. And yet it's profoundly beautiful.
Hi! I’m sorry for the late response!
Oh my goodness, of course I’ve noticed it and knowing what comes next makes it so heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹
That is actually one of my favourite bangel scenes and I feel like the part where Buffy says “All I see is you, All I want is you” is often misunderstood as her being naive. But that take just never sat right with me because I don’t think it’s giving Buffy enough credit. There’s this bit of dialogue in the shooting script that was cut from the episode that I think paints a completely different, and very interesting perspective, about her train of thought in this scene:
Tumblr media
I really wish they had kept this in the episode because it shows that Buffy’s response comes from a place of self awareness and not a place of naivety. She knows exactly what she’s saying and who she’s saying it to. Angel is the only one who can truly understand the burden that she feels and her inability to think about the future, both because he is immortal and because he straddles the human world and the demon world but doesn’t really belong to either, just like her. She’s telling him that she understands the dark truth of her calling: that she likely won’t get to live as long as a normal person would. And it makes so much sense that she would have this awareness, considering she literally died the previous year. So, all she can really allow herself to see is the happiness that she feels right now, which for her is being with someone she can relate to, someone who understands her, someone who loves her as she is (both girl and slayer), someone who can support her both physically and emotionally, and that someone is Angel. All of this also makes what happens next even more devastating by adding more layers to this profound loss that she (and really both of them) goes through.
I think what’s so beautiful about Buffy and Angel is that although they may never be able to be this version of themselves again, they DO grow from what happens and their relationship adapts and changes over the years…It doesn’t just end here and despite all the crap they’ve gone through, they’re still able to be a source of love, support and inspiration for each other in different ways.
Anyway, I think I may have gotten a little carried away lol but I just have a lot of thoughts about this scene and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to share them!
Thanks for the ask 💖

I can’t think of any other examples rn but I LOVE an episode where they purposely make the people who are weakest at something fight a monster that is that exact thing!! Buffy “Bad Eggs” (s2e12) episode is great for this- Like I love Buffy & Xander really having to work thru research (even tho they usually spend research time just goofing off & cracking jokes).
this episode also displays another of my all time favorite tropes “enemy you were fighting becomes your brief teammate to fight the Big Bad”

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Season 2
Ep 12 - Bad Eggs
Something is gonna happen in the mall, isnt it?
Welp. There you go I was spot on. The cowboy hat guy is supernatural. A vampire.
Yes, buffy save the poor girl.
Buffy always has something smartass remark before she kills a vampire. Everytime.
Xander and Cordelia. Kissing in the closet. Still hating each other. Still fighting, saying they dont need this but they can't stay away from each other so in reality, they in fact, need this. Back to snogging I guess.
Lmao, so they are having a sex banter in the classroom. What a foreplay. The sex is gonna be bed breaking.
Taking care of the baby (egg), the classic.
They massacred a village before they became a vampire!!? Buffy do not underestimate them.
"please, like angel and I are helpless slaves to passion, grow up", also buffy passionately makes out with angel on her job, doing absolutely no hunting.
Buffy girl do some hunting and slaying, they're literally sitting on the tree.
What's up with the egg?? What's in it?
Bitch, whatever it's ugly and creepy. Also, Buffy is in danger.
What's with this two killer vampires? They're weird.
What did that egg do to her!? She's fine(I mean not really) but what it did to her?
She's talking funny. Oh, it's both willow and buffy. So probably everyone.
Xander and Cordelia and they know just one word now, closet. Say closet and they're gone.
And its bangel make-out session again.
Ohhhh, its getting awkward and having hard talks. Babies, future. Damn you two poor stars crossed lovers.
Damn buffy. I love the passionate confession and It's lovely and sad but you can't have a life with angel.
It's either Cordelia and xander or a dead body or our security is gonna die.
Yup. Security just died. It's the professor isn't it?
Holy mother of God, the egg broke, in front of buffy and wtf was that? What the hell is that ugly spider thingy?
Yuck, she just killed it and yup, she just killed it.
Nah willow, check your egg. You're not safe, Oh fuck, too late for that. What did the egg do to willow!?
Joyce I get you but your daughter is the chosen one so get a life.
Cordelia just shut up.
Oh so xander got saved because he boiled it.
Oh no not everyone's egg. Xander is also yuck. It's everyone's egg.
Oh, so it's both Cordelia and willow and the rest of the school. Welp, it's a war from insects or whatever tf it's called.
Giles is also fine, right? Oh no he isnt. And neither is joyce anymore. Fuck! It's everyone now.
Oh thank God, buffy and xander are fine. Now go save everyone.
What exactly are these demon children building or well they're not building, they're collecting the eggs and setting their mummy free.
It's time to behave like them. Move like a zombie them. Blend in. Yes, go xander became one of them.
Oh cmon not the right time cowboy vampires, either help her or get the hell out.
Who made Willow the leader of mummy land.
Help buffy you freaky vampires.
YUCKS! WHAT KIND OF CREATURE IS THIS? GIRL RUN!
OH FUCK NOOOOOOO! DID THE MUMMY JUST TOOK BUFFY WITH HER?
Or wait did buffy killed the main mummy? You, she did. Good job slayer.
Joyce, there was a gas leak, ffs, give her a break, why aren't you more worried?
Grounded or not, buffy will get her Angel fix of the day. Alright, girl, we get it, you're horny and in love and he's good.
Also, now I've a question, well lots of it. Who gave schools the eggs?? Like, where did the eggs come from, did the teacher just collected them from the basement because the school is a cheap ass hoe Or did someone deliberately delivered these eggs for this purpose, if yes, then who is it? Damn, how it really happened? Someone tell me.
Well, another day, another episode and again, I loved it. This was a less intense episode then the last one and not the main plot focused, nevertheless I enjoyed it.
We had a lot of bangel, well more like bangel make out sessions, also xander and cordelia's make out sessions. I think this is the episode with most make out and kissing yet in BTVS. Not much of willow, which was weird as she was also possessed.
The plot was cool, ofc couldn't predict it but still was surprise. Gotta say the killing of the mummy in the end was pretty anticlimactic, like that was too fast and easy. I get it that she's the slayer and all but still she just did it like nothing. Also, how did she kill it?
The massacre vampires were a useless addition, they brought nothing to episode and had no point of being there. What the hell was the point of them in this episode? I just kept thinking how would they tie to everything else and nothing, I thought they would help buffy in the end but nothing. Why exactly were they in there? Unless BTVS brings them(or well just him as one died) then I can see but other than that it was just useless.
Joyce is sometimes getting on my nerves. Like, a gas leak and her first thought would be if her daughter is okay, instead it's why weren't you where I told you to be? Like some concern would be good.
I guess that's it, loved the bangel in this episode, we finally have them. Xander and Cordelia are still happening. No spike or drusilla in this episode. No jenny either. No oz either.
Well, that's it, see ya in the next one, cheers 🥂

Do you have any thoughts on how the Gorches, who come from the arse end of somewhere in the US, instantly recognise Angel as "Angelus", when he got re-ensouled back in Europe presumably not long after they got sired? Were they somehow in Europe? Or is it just bad writing in bad eggs?
I assume just the writers re-establishing Angelus' fame just before putting him in place as the Big Bad. In-universe, it makes sense that they have heard of him - as aspiring supervillains, they probably idolised him.

You know, this isn’t hunting in the classical sense.
