Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. For Buffy, life in Sweatydale did not start off at the bottom of a deep chasm. What was her first major task(s), as seen in the premier episode?

Answer: All of these

Sweatydale was a term used by Cordelia when she discussed going on vacation to a nice snowy climate. Buffy arrived in Sunnydale, freshly expelled from Hemery High in Los Angeles. Her mother dropped her off on her first day at Sunnydale High with the hopes she would not be kicked out.

She made new friends right away, with Cordy being almost one of them, but lost one to Darla, Luke and The Master. The Master was played by actor Mark Metcalf. He has experienced fairly steady work since 1973, all the way up to a 2009 episode of the series "Mad Men".
2. Joyce and Hank Summers first discovered Buffy's secret identity while still united as a family. Which season was this revealed, in an episode entitled "Normal Again"?

Answer: 6

In this episode, a life weary and twice dead Buffy became infected by a demon. The creature's affect was intense hallucinations that made Buffy believe she was still in the mental hospital her parents had sent her to when they first found how who she was.

They did not believe she was a slayer, but they did find out. Early into the series, Buffy told her mom she was the slayer inadvertently in the season one episode "Witch". She was super giddy as a result of Catherine Madison's witchy influence and blurted it out in the kitchen. Joyce seemed shocked and confused, but it was never brought up again until Buffy and Spike revealed it to Joyce again at the end of season two.

This caused the ultimatum from Joyce about Buffy leaving the house to fight evil.

After Buffy sworded Angel into hell, via Acathala, she left her mom a note and went to Los Angeles.
3. Being in love with a slayer is never easy. Of the listed choices, which man only ever loved Buffy from afar, but did consummate his friendship with a different slayer?

Answer: Xander

For Xander Harris, season one was all about his love for the slayer. Willow, who'd loved him since childhood, watched from the sidelines as Xander pined over Buffy. His pining culminated in asking her to the dance at the end of season one, only to be rejected gently.

Afterward, Xander sat in his room and listed to country music, the "music of pain". In season three, Faith (called upon the death of the slayer Kendra) came to town on the run from an ancient vampire named Kakistos. After his death, she stayed on to be under Giles' tutelage, but instead fell to the dark side over months of cultivating a deep jealousy toward Buffy. Just before she turned completely over to the evil side of life, she spent "7 minutes" taking Xander's virginity in "The Zeppo".

She revealed the seven minutes part while taking Buffy's body for a test ride in season four's "Who Are You?"
4. Being sucked into the "uber evil" seemed to be a metaphor for dealing with pain during the show's seven seasons. Which woman listed never drowned her sorrows in a bowl of "Evil Wheaties" (turned evil due to pain)?

Answer: Joyce

Joyce remained true to her good nature throughout the time she was alive. She maintained a steady career at the never seen local art gallery, loved and protected her slayer, dated a homicidal robot, enjoyed a brief teenaged liaison with Ripper, talked Angel into leaving town for Buffy's sake, loved and protected her Key, and then slipped quietly away in season five's "I Was Made to Love You" when she died of an aneurysm.
Buffy- not evil exactly, but drowned her sorrows in the cold embrace of Spike, though she hated him.
Dawn- not evil, but drowned her sorrows in the exciting world of lying and larceny.
Cordelia- never evil exactly, but was the master criticizer and wisher of hideous alternate realities ("The Wish").
Anya- otherwise known as Aud and Anyanka, embraced the life of a vengeance demon when D'Hoffryn offered her the role over a thousand years before we met her.
Faith- called to slayer duties after Kendra's death in season two, but slowly fell into Mayoral evilness due a painful case of the jealousies.
Willow- our least likely call to evil. But, when denied a resurrection from Osiris, she sucked black magic from evil books and a witch named Rack. Her grief led her to a Satanic temple where Xander was forced to use a yellow crayon her to bring her back.
5. Sunnydale, before the big cave in, had a tendency to draw in the evily things near to its pulsating hellmouth. It wasn't evil per se, but evil setup shop there. This phenomena also happened to people in town. Of the following, who was NOT ever known to take on evil's flavor (of his own free will) when he got close to it?

Answer: Xander

Other than his vampiric alternate identity, Xander remained a tried and true good guy. His power was seeing people. It was an emotional and intellectual gift, not a super power of any kind. Buffy's pal Ford came to town dying of brain tumors, and became evil in the presence of Spike and Drusilla.

He wanted to trade Buffy to save his existence, a slayer for immortality. It's probably needless to say that it did not work out for him. Andrew Wells and Jonathan Levinson became evil when in the company of Warren Mears.

They teamed up as the Trio, the initial Big Bad of season six (Willow was the ultimate Big Bad). Jonathan was the least willing member of evil, with Andrew taking it on to impress Warren. In the end, Jonathan was murdered by Andrew, leaving him free to embrace his better nature once more. Andrew aided in the defeat of the First evil in season seven and went on to Italy afterward to fight the good fight. Andrew was still alive and kicking in the canonical season eight comics. Xander's body was used by the thaumogenesis demon in season six's "After Life", but he himself was not evil.
6. Loving demons was known to be a valid lifestyle choice for some Sunnydale residents. It seemed as though only this person, of the listed, was exempt from falling in love with a demon during their tenure on the hellmouth.

Answer: Giles

Giles had come from a rather tortured past, which had included demon worship and carnage. Some could say he kind of loved Eyghon, but not romantically and never during his time on the hellmouth. Willow, our second least demon loving Scooby, started falling for Oz before he was bit and changed into a werewolf by his cousin Jordy. Later, Tara believed herself to be some sort of demon and she took steps in season four to prevent Willow from finding out.

It wasn't until season five, on her 20th birthday, that Tara found her family had tricked her, and her mother before her, into believing their magicks came from some sort of partial demon bloodline. Spike put an end to all that, and we never heard from Tara's family again. Xander had a long history of being attracted to baddies.

He fell for the faux Mrs. French, preying mantis demon extraordinaire, in season one. He romanced an Incan mummy princess in season two who drained men's life forces to save her life, dated Cordelia in seasons two and three, and began a relationship with ex-demon Anya from season four through six. Buffy loved her vamps. Angel was her first love, and that ended tragically.

The pair never got over each other, even after he moved to Los Angeles. She had a human relationship with Riley, whose masculinity eventually caved under her growing emotional strength in season five. Finally, she gave into a lusty, but self-loathing, jaunt with Spike in season six, which turned into real love in season seven. The pair did not continue their physical relationship, but his quest for a soul made her see the real man behind the monster.
7. The original recipe for creating a new person may have always seemed straightforward, but on the hellmouth the rules can be changed. Dawn arrived in Sunnydale in the season five premier as the "love child" of these two factions.

Answer: a group of Monks and a god named Glory

Imagine all of our jaw dropping, eye popping, stuttering protests at the end of season five's "Buffy vs. Dracula" when Buffy and Dawn Summers both whined "MOM" in perfect sibling cadence! WHO in the heck was Dawn Summers? Had Joss Whedon and company "jumped the shark"? Had they insulted our intelligence by trying to force feed us a new character without any explanation? Of course not! All of the Scoobies had been tricked as well! Dawn was the result of a panicked order of Monks who were trying to protect a mystical conduit known as The Key. Glory was a banished hellgod looking to shed her human trappings and return to the hell she had once ruled.

She needed The Key, and wasn't the brightest hellgod in the universe, so human form was their best disguise.

They also needed a powerful emotion to protect The Key. They chose to form Dawn out of the slayer's own DNA, create a lifetime of love, and insure The Key's protection. Their plan worked, and Buffy sacrificed her own life to save Dawn and the world.
8. "Bad boys bad boys, whatcha gonna do when they come for you?"- In season six, a Heaven weary Buffy was forced to deal with many changes. Among those changes was a human trio of wickedness. Of the members of the Trio, which did Buffy meet for the first time in season six?

Answer: Andrew Wells

A slayer's return from Heaven is a big burden to process without hurting others. Buffy did not choose to come back after her sacrifice in "The Gift", but a panic stricken Willow was convinced that Buffy was trapped in some hell dimension suffering an endless reign of torture.

It never occurred to our fair Wicca that Buffy had transcended pain and was safely ensconced in Heaven. So, Buffy returned shell shocked and unable to get back in the game of life. It wasn't until the Trio was revealed as Warren, Andrew and Jonathan in the episode "Gone", that Buffy really started to come back into her old self. But, in the meantime, she had turned to a lascivious union with Spike, Xander and Anya had slowly begun to disintegrate, Dawn had become a raging klepto, and Willow had begun to self-medicate with magical power. Andrew, played expertly by Tom Lenk, was the brother of a former pain in the booty named Tucker Wells. Andrew also claimed to have set flying monkeys onto the high school, but that was never seen on screen. Warren and Jonathan both died not long after the Trio was formed, but Andrew redeemed himself in the fight against the First evil in season seven and went on to become a close player in season eight's canonical comic editions.
9. In some ways the final season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" could be themed as "haunting evil". In the season premier, we were re-introduced to the First Evil. Which former Big Bad did the First Evil NOT take the form of at the end of "Lessons"?

Answer: Angelus

At the end of "Lessons", the season seven premiere, the First appeared to Spike as every Big Bad that came before, except for Angelus and Willow. Willow had not died, so it could not appear as her at all, but Angelus was most definitely dead. I think he was probably left out, despite his close personal association with Spike, because the Powers That Be planned on having Angel come to town in the series finale to help Buffy. I think they wanted no confusion on whether or not he was the First, in case not all fans were viewers of the series "Angel". Viewers would know Angel was on his way to town, but "Buffy"-only fans would not have known. Everyone's haunted by the First, Spike's haunting via his tortured soul, Caleb's haunting by his own misogyny, Faith's haunting of her own violent past, and even Angel's haunting of the loss of his son and Cordelia emphasized the whole haunting theme.

A feeling of re-birth occurred when Sunnydale fell in on itself, and the Scoobies were all free from the hellmouth.
10. "So it's true, scythe matters." Buffy "King Arthured" the scythe out of the stone and sliced Caleb the preacher in half. The scythe afforded the Scoobies a grandiose idea, the biggest 'Buffy does things her own way' related slayer trick of all time. Buffy decided to turn all the potentials into real slayers all over the world. After Willow went white haired Goddess, which brand new slayer rushed the scythe down into the hellmouth to fight off all the Ubervamps?

Answer: Kennedy

Caleb had been hiding the mystical scythe from Buffy since his arrival in "Dirty Girls". After she and the gang had taken mountains of abuse from him and his bringers, she finally outwitted the chauvinistic preacher and claimed her scythe! She discovered from an ancient guardian that the future was not set and that the slayer line was forever altered. Caleb showed up in time to kill the woman, but his hours were also numbered. Buffy later killed him, as Angel and Spike watched on, and brought home a brand new idea. Willow sat in Principal Wood's office and cast a spell bringing to slayerhood all potentials. Kennedy, by far the best potential and Willow's new girlfriend, ran into the hellmouth and they all fought the good fight. Spike used the amulet from Wolfram and Hart to defeat the remaining Ubervamps, which also caused Sunnydale to cave in on itself.

This left a giant crater where the town had been. Continuity mistakes to note- nowhere in the panorama was there an ocean for the infamous Sunnydale docks. Spike's sacrifice was short lived, when Lindsey McDonald sent him back to Los Angeles inside the amulet as a "gift" to Angel. Spike and Angel survived the attack from the Senior Partners and lived to exist in the canonical comic continuation of "Angel". No, correction notes please, I know Dawn was never a potential slayer.

She is just an incorrect option.
