It had been sooo long since the last original Buffy episode, that I kind of almost forgot what was going on! But one thing that I recognized right off the bat, was that totally fake wig that the Buffster was wearing at the start of the show. Ok, yeah, I was sorta tipped off that Buffy was gonna cut her hair in this ep, but I thought maybe it would just be a one-ep thing, so it would be fake, but it was real! The really fake wig helped me figure that out too. I guess the show was figuring that it had been like an eternity since the last show, so people would forget exactly how long Buffy's hair used to be. Not me!

Anyway, the ep revolved around the geeky villain trio of Jonathan, Warren, and some dude we don't really know. They made this "invisibility ray" (how geeky!!!!!), and they accidentally aimed it at the slayer and made her non-seeable. So natch, Buffy was hardly "seen" in the whole ep. Personally, I think SMG wanted another week off work, but that's just my guess. So the whole show, Buff is trying to take advantage of the fact that nobody can see her. And that included the best scene of the show… having invisible sex with Spike!!!! (who she is TOTALLY in love with!!!!!) On his quest for the invisi-Buff, Xander walks in on Spike in bed naked looking like he's by himself. He tells Xander he's "exercising". Yeah right! It was soooo funny! Buffy also pulled a few funny tricks, claiming to be the Ghost of Fashion Victims Past, pulling a heinous studded cap off a girl in the park. She also made the social services lady trying to take Dawn away from Buffy's care, think she was crazy, therefore losing Buffy's case. And Invisi-Buff also pulled a flying pizza gag on Dawn, who didn't enjoy the joke as much as I did. Oh well. But it was good to see the gang again. And Buffy's new 'do is actually really cute. I was worried she might pull a "Felicity" and hack her hair to death, but thank goodness, she didn't.

PS - Willow is trying to go magic-free. But I think they are likening her problem to a drug-addict too much. It's a little over the top.

PPS - Xander spent most of the ep being tortured by Anya's seating chart for their wedding. Boys just don't understand how important those things are.

PPPS - Spike & Buffy!! Spike & Buffy!! Spike & Buffy!!

OMG! I was so distraught at the end of this episode I didn't know what to do! Where do I even start???!!! Ok, I'll try to breathe deeply and start spilling…

IS WESLEY DEAD???? I think he might be. But I haven't read anything about him leaving the show, so I'm holding out a small grain of hope he can be magically saved. (Where's a Halliwell sister when you need one, huh?) So the crazy chick working for Holtz slit Wesley's throat and left him for dead. And she took off in his car with Angel's sweet baby, Conner. AGGHHH!!! I mean, I saw Wesley's throat get slit… he was bleeding big time… no "the knife really never cut him" tricks here. It was so awfully sad because I never saw it coming. Really.

And then there's Angel. Courtesy of evil lawyer Lila and some freaky, ugly time-travelling demon, Sijan, Angel has spent the last 2 episodes unsuspectingly drinking his own son's blood in order to make him want to eat his baby!!! HOW WHACK IS THAT!!!! That is SICK! He said Conner smelt like food to him. Gross. Well, seeing that coming (thanks to the eerie prophecy that said "The Father Will Kill The Son"), Wesley kidnapped Conner right before Holtz and his gang to terrorize Angel and the gang. Turns out Wesley had worked out some deal with Holtz to save Conner before his peeps attacked. Well, turns out Holtz wanted to "adopt" Conner as his own son, and go off to Utah (?) and live the together. Huh? I guess it's some big "you killed my kid, so I'm gonna replace him with your kid" thing. Well, here's where it got REALLY sad. Sijan, Lila, and her army peeps wanted to kill Conner, but Holtz said if Angel let him take Conner away forever that the baby could live!!! WHAT A CRAPPY CHOICE IS THAT! Either have your son killed or let him live forever with some evil man. With tears in his eyes, Angel told Holtz to run and take Conner with him. It broke my heart! But them Sijan opened some alternate hell universe and said if someone didn't kill the baby RIGHT NOW that he would swallow everyone in this heinous world. Well… Holtz took off running and jumped into the hell-vortex… with Conner in his hands. And then Sijan closed the hole.

So now Conner is in hell. With Holtz. And Angel might never see him again. And Wesley might be dead. This is so sad I can barely take it! And Angel is a rerun next week… damn it.

PS - Cordy and Gru are still on vaca. Nice week to be out.

All in all, not one of the best ep's I've ever seen. This week we found Pacey with an offer to sail the world once again, on a yacht. While it looked like he was gonna take the gig, in the end he ixnayed the trip to stay in Boston. Well of course he had to, how else is he eventually gonna hook up with Audrey (who incidentally accused Pacey of having erectile disfunction… very funny).

Jen and Dawson are now living together… in Gram's house. How weird. Well, they went through the whole awkwardness of getting ready together in the bathroom in the morning in their jimmies routine. It was kind of sweet I guess. Loved that Jen mistook Dawson's toothbrush as being an old one and instead, she used it to separate her eyelashes. And Dawson was like "Jen, why are you wearing so much makeup? You never wear makeup" To which Jen replied "You have no idea how much makeup it takes to look like you're not wearing any makeup". True, true. And oh yeah, thanks to her "expertise", Jen has now landed a relationship call-in show on her radio station.

Jack moved into the frat house where he was given a single room - as a new brother. Um, something stinks in suburbia. NO first years get singles anywhere. It was obviously cuz he was gay and no guys wanted to live with him. He's such a nice guy… who wouldn't want to live with Jack? Well, when he decided to move out of the house, the guy originally assigned to live with him offered him a space in his room. How sweet. Jack said he'd think about it. Hell yeah, boy, play hardball, let them sweat a little.

And lastly, Joey is "getting coffee" with this dude in her English class who likes her. Hello, did you take a look at him? He is totally dorky and unattractive. Really bad hair too. But that's ok, cuz we all know where Joey's headed… to her teacher…

First, there was the whole PSAT thing. Rory got her PSAT scores back. She got a 760 Math/ 740 Verbal. 1500…That's DAMN good! I think I got maybe 1000 total on mine. But I loved the fact that Rory was obsessing over the fact that she got a higher math score than verbal which is "so much more my thing". I thought that was pretty funny too. Well, Paris is at lunch, trying to get her little cronies to care about her scores when she reveals that she got a 750 Math/ 730 Verbal. Ha! But when she tries to get Rory to tell her scores, Rory refuses, which is driving Paris INSANE! I LOVE IT! Paris even went so far as to have one of her cronies call Rory and pretend to be doing a PSAT story for the paper and she needed Rory's scores for the article. But natch, Rory was like "um, put Paris on the phone, I know she's sitting there next to you". LOVED IT! So even after pitching a fit, Rory never gave up her scores.

Second, the Gilmore house has termites. Ick. And it turns out they've totally eaten through most of the wood under the house. So Loralei and Rory shack up at Sookie's cuz they say they can feel the termites crawling on their skin. Eww. Well, to fix everything it's gonna cost $15,000, which Loralei doesn't have. Her suggestions for getting it were pretty good though - opening a Coyote-Ugly lemonade stand or selling Rory into white slavery. Ha! Turns out the whole town heard about the termites cuz when Rory went over to Lane's house to visit, her crazy mom chased Rory out of the house with a hose. She thought Rory was a "carrier". Well, eventually, Loralei wound up having to get a bank loan, but her mom had to co-sign with her, which Loralei was NOT happy about. Oh well.

Lastly, Rory and Lane have sort of been seeing less of each other recently. They're not fighting, just doing different things. Turns out Lane's thing is that she's become a cheerleader! For anyone who doesn't know Lane, it's kind of like Jane, Daria's best bud, becoming a cheerleader. But she's really cute and kind of good at it.

But when this Carl guy opened the door for Paige and Leo, two little ghosties got loose. They actually looked like flying leeches. And they took over Phoebe and Cole! It was gross how they just slithered into them bodies. But these ghosts, Lulu and Frank, were actually country-westerners and they were looking to settle some unfinished business… LIKE GETTING MARRIED! Yikes! So after a few little robberies and shootings, there stood the bodies of Cole & Phoebe in full wedding glory, at the alter, saying yes! But long story short, the ghosties came out of the bodies and went back into the Monsters Inc. door. But here's the best part of the entire episode… when Phoebe and Cole were restored, they were standing there ready to be wed, and Cole proposed to Phoebe (again)… and she said YES!! Yeah!!! Cole & Phoebe and gonna get married! So that rocks.

Well, feeling totally left out, Sabrina pays a visit to her old friend… Vitamin C. She's some Other Realm travel agent and she offers Sabrina a trip to "Cloud 10". While it sounds lovely and fluffy, apparently, it's quasi-forbidden. When the 2 go up there, it's full of parties and everybody forgets about their daily troubles… and their life! Well, long story short, Sabrina falls from Cloud 10 (literally), and realizes that her boss loves her article and Roxie is still her best friend. The end.
