3.9 – "The Wish"

"Go ahead. I have to live in this one."

Welcome to Bloodstone Vengeance Spell also known as If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me! You've been hoping and dreaming but have you been wishing for Season 3, episode 9, "The Wish?" 

This episode is packed to the brim: Kelly breaks down the plot (1:50) and a couple firsts (3:30) followed by a segment we just need to call "Facts" as they're neither fun nor sad (7:15). Together they talk about the logic of Buffy's absence on the history of Sunnydale (11:00), try to make sense of how crosses are used (18:40), dive into Anya (!) and genies (22:00), the power and inconsistencies of the Wish world (29:00) and the alternate arc of Buffy Summers with less friends and more northeast Ohio (40:00). After all that excitement, the group yell (50:00), do their ritual watches (1:03:00) and rank this sucker (1:08:00).
