My First Watch of Killed By Death (S2E18) | This episode That Still Haunts Me
In this episode of The Bitch Is Back, I watch Killed by Death, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2, Episode 18, for the first time. This is my least favorite episode of the season and I'll tell you exactly why. A demon that only sick children can see, an abandoned hospital that was genuinely creepy to film in, and Buffy making herself sicker to protect the kids she came to save. Plus I share what it was actually like being on set for this one and filming in an abandoned hospital. Tell everyone you've ever met. The B*tch is Back!

My First Watch of the Episode Fans Warned Me About | Passion (S2E17)
In this episode of The Bitch Is Back, I watch "Passion," Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2, Episode 17, for the first time. I knew Jenny Calendar dies in this one, but I didn't know how, and it left me stunned. I break down the olive branch scene between Jenny and Buffy, Joyce finding out about Buffy and Angel in the worst possible way and my thoughts as a mom on how she handled it, Giles going full vengeance mode after finding the rose on his door, and why I think the show cut away from its biggest emotional beats too fast. I also share what I remember from set about Robia’s final episode. The B*tch is Back! New Videos Every Tuesday Tell everyone you've ever met. The B*tch is Back!

My First LIVE First Watch: Buffy's Love Spell Disaster | Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered (S2E16)
I threw out the playbook this week. No 20-page document, no teleprompter, no prep. For the first time ever, I'm watching an episode in real time with you, and of course it's Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered, the Valentine's Day love spell disaster. Season 2, Episode 16 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, written by Marti Noxon. Xander gets rejected, goes full scorned warlock, and accidentally makes every woman in Sunnydale obsessed with him except the one he wanted. I have thoughts. About his "nice guy" problem, about Cordelia finally refusing to be a sheep, and about the necklace in this episode that looks suspiciously like one I've been wearing for 25 years. Coincidence? I'm genuinely not sure anymore. Tell everyone you've ever met. The B*tch is Back!

My Con Birthday Recap and the Fans Who Made It Unforgettable
I turned another year older in Manchester, surrounded by my Buffy family and a sea of fans. So this week is a full show and tell the cards that made me cry a little (Meg and her mom Catherine, I'm looking at you), the homemade ones that got me the most, Swedish gummies I've already half-eaten, ruby jewelry, friendship bracelets, a random duck, and a Taylor Swift Showgirl CD. Plus why Patreon members showing up at cons means more than any of you know. Tell everyone you've ever met. The B*tch is Back!

Charisma Carpenter Watches Buffy "Phases" (S2E15) for the First Time
This week I'm first-watching Buffy Season 2, Episode 15, "Phases," the one where Oz finds out he's a werewolf, Larry finds out it's easier to just be honest, and everyone learns that hiding who you are is a full-time job. But you know where my head really went: that car scene. Xander drags Cordelia out to do things she can't tell her father about, then spends the whole time obsessing over Willow, and somehow she's the one getting slut-shamed for it. As the woman who actually played her, I have thoughts. Plus Willow and Oz land the sweetest ending the show's done yet, and I'm begging this entire cast to try saying the thing out loud sometime. Full recap, my sharpest Hot Takes, and behind-the-scenes I actually lived through. New episodes every other week. Tell everyone you've ever met. The B*tch is Back!

Charisma Carpenter Reacts to Her Own Red Carpet Photos
The team pulled up two decades of my old red carpet photos and made me sit here and look at every single one. Here's what I learned: I've had some genuinely great looks, that Italian silk blouse, my hair, and my makeup combined, and I'd wear it again tomorrow. Some things I'd style differently now, I'm owning my crimes against pantyhose, the shoe choices that should've been slingbacks. There's a Gucci suit that I still have, and an outfit I wear to a water charity Gala that would be better suited for the Grammys. Full episodes and Bonus Bitch live on Patreon, link below.

Charisma Carpenter Watches Buffy "Innocence" (S2E14) for the First Time
This is a heavy one. Buffy gives Angel everything and wakes up to a man who is no longer home, and I could not stop thinking about how fast she assumes it's her fault. Because that's what we do. That cigarette smoke shot might be the most cinematic thing this show has ever pulled off. The morning after the scene had me yelling at my screen. Jenny Calendar finally admits she's been a double agent this entire time, and believe me, I have thoughts about that. Then Willow tells Oz to make out with her and I fell in love with him right alongside her. And when Buffy shoulders a rocket launcher in the middle of a mall? Honestly, good. I also get into the night we shot the military base in the pouring rain, Cordelia's inexplicable silver jacket, and the elevator shot that ended up in the opening credits. I cried, I laughed, I'm not okay. The B*tch is Back!
