5.9 - Listening to Fear

There's an alien in Sunnydale that feeds on crazy people!


***

Buffy's mom is allowed to go home before her surgery, but the pressure on her brain is making her a little crazy. Turns out, coincidentally, there's also an alien (a first for the show, I think) that is in town who feeds on crazy. Wackiness ensues!

I think the only thing this episode accomplishes is opening up doors for Riley to go back into the military. It's a bit of a filler episode, but it's really not bad.

Go Dawn, for actually smacking the alien with a lamp post instead of running.

Rating: 7/10
