Joan the Vampire Slayer and Randy Giles are battling vampires while Rupey and Anya make out in a sea of disappeared bunnies at The Magic Box, Alex is in the sewers with study buddies Willow and Tara, and Umad is still a pain in our ass! Come for the absolute delight of it all and stay to have your beating heart handed to you as you scream-sing to Michelle Branch at The Bronze... it’s S6E8: Tabula Rasa.We also have a wonderful segment with Natalie Muskin-Press in this episode, a licensed addictions counselor (and massive Buffy fan) who sits down with Kristin to talk about Willow’s use of magic and all that we are seeing unfold between her and Tara, and her and the Scooby gang. Time stamps for that segment are 54:14 - 1:12:20.
