The weakened Master, long trapped in the Hellmouth, can escape if his
vampires suck enough reviving lifeblood from Sunnydale teens.

04/14/97: Angel
After the ever-mysterious but oh-so-sexy Angel kisses Buffy, his face
breaks out — into a vampire’s fanged features. Now we know why
he’s so well informed about bloodsuckers: He has had more than two
centuries of experience. Still, Angel is appropriately named, since the
gypsies he once ravaged cursed him with a soul.
Angel: David Boreanaz, Darla: Julie Benz, The Master: Mark Metcalf, Colin/The Anointed One: Andrew J. Ferchland
Written by David Greenwalt; Directed by Scott Brazil
04/28/97: I Robot, You Jane
An ancient, enchanted tome purchased by Giles for the library gets
scanned into the Sunnydale computer system, and an evil spirit named
Moloch is unleashed in cyberspace. The ancient demon (mentioned, by the
way, in Milton’s Paradise Lost) eventually inhabits a robot,
but not before attempting to seduce Willow via the Internet. Ultimately,
Buffy short-circuits Moloch and his plans.
Jenny Calendar: Robia LaMorte, Malcolm/Moloch: Mark Deakins
Written by Ashley Gable, Thomas A. Swyden; Directed by Stephen Posey
05/05/97: The Puppet Show
Principal Flutie’s menacing replacement, Principal Snyder (Armin
Shimerman), orders Giles, Buffy and friends to stage the high
school’s talent show. And at Sunnydale, a contestant’s "loss of
heart" isn’t a figure of speech. An organ-stealing demon is
responsible, so a ghostbuster trapped in a ventriloquist’s dummy named
Sid is recruited to make things right.
Principal Snyder: Armin Shimerman, Sid (voice): Tom Wyner
Written by Dean Batali and Rob Des Hotel; Directed by Ellen S. Pressman
