Buffy has to host a parent-teacher meeting along with fellow trouble maker Sheila Martin (Alexandra Johnes, "Neverending Story"), this of cause terrifies Buffy who has enough trouble as it is with convincing her mother that it goes well in school. Buffy gets her hands full when William the Bloody aka Spike appears along with his darling Drusilla and Sheila dosn't show up for the preparation of the meeting. At the actual meeting Spike gate crashes the party and Buffy has to save the day, but Principal Snyder has a surprise! What is great about this episode apart from the introduction of Spike and the mentally disturbed Drusilla is the surprise in store from Principal Snyder. The Snyder surprise is a great way to introduce the ongoing theme that all is not as it seems at Sunnydale High. As such this episode focuses more on the ongoing narrative than much else but touches on the subject of parent-teacher meeting which as most of us probably remember was a horror onto itself (what is the teachers going to say to my parents and so on and so forth).
The acting is as always great, if I am to point someone out it should be Juliet Landau as Dru and Alexandra Johnes as Sheila (her role is so far from the role in Neverending as can be). The character of Dru fits right in with the other strange vampires (Angel, Spike and Darla) and is a great casting job. The effects is okay but nothing special.
This episode gets a 7 out of 10.
