Fun monster of the week.

Warning: Spoilers
Early season two had fun monsters of the week. Some episodes were going for the drama. But not in a very relevant way. Coincidentally, this episode in which frat boys offer young impressionable girls to a demon. Was shot around the time SMG did Scream 2, playing a sorority girl. So for that reason, it is one of my guilty pleasure episodes of the season. It's also very funny and, with the exception of Cordelia, who has never been this vapid and annoying. It has solid character development. Greg Vaughan, before his Charmed days, was a reminder of how the WB could be a closed circle. And that Louie Says song, featured twice in the episode, was a very good choice to describe the Buffy/Angel relationship, back then.
