Summary
Sunnydale High is haunted — but not by just any ghost. In I Only Have Eyes for You, a lovesick student from 1955 keeps replaying the worst moment of his life, possessing anyone who wanders too close to his loop of regret. Alan and Jarrod unpack the parapsychology cold open (residual vs. intelligent hauntings — yes, it's a real field), debate whether the episode was too clever for its own good, and dig into why this Monster of the Week operates at its very best: fully integrated into the season's emotional mythology. We talk Buffy's telling hair and forlorn expression, the role reversal that reframes everything, Giles' desperate wish that the ghost is Jenny, Spike's secret recovery, and why Angel scrubbing himself raw after the climax is one of the most quietly devastating character beats in the season. Plus: the janitor from Winter's Bone, dog spit statistics, and the Sadie Hawkins dance as existential metaphor.
