Bad Eggs

Tabula Rasa, B!tches!: A Buffy Rewatch Show

On a mom-sponsored shopping trip to the mall, Buffy’s errand to pick up clothes from the tailor is interrupted by Lyle Gorch, one of two vampire brothers from the Wild Wild West. Buffy and Lyle fight, but he gets away, cryptically saying, “this ain’t over.”

The next day in school, Xander and Cordelia continue to keep their relationship secret - at least out loud *suspicious side-eye*.

During a sex education class, students are given raw eggs to look after as an exercise in responsibility and parenthood. Because this is Sunnydale, the eggs are not chicken spawn but contain mind-possessing face-hugger creatures taking over the school.

Xander avoids being possessed by the simple expedient of boiling his egg to make it easier to look after. Buffy is attacked by her egg late at night but kills it with a pair of scissors. The rest of the gang, including Willow and Cordelia, are possessed and knock out Buffy and Xander, stuffing them in a utility closet.

When Buffy and Xander wake up, they learn that there is a giant Bezoar demon under the school, which is laying the eggs. Buffy and Xander fight their way into the chamber where the Bezoar lives, but the Gorch brothers also arrive and fight some of the possessed. The egg-laying demon eats the younger Gorch brother, and Buffy is sucked in, but she soon emerges covered in blood. Lyle Gorch wisely bugs out.

The episode closes with Joyce assuring Buffy that she will be grounded for the rest of her life.
