Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Every Season 2 Episode Ranked
15. Ted
Easily one of the show's most outlandish instalments, Ted is kept from all-out failure by the inspired casting choice of John Ritter as the titular antagonist.
The episode follows Buffy as she's forced to come to term with her mother's new partner, whom everyone seems to love despite his hidden violent streak, and later learns that he's a killer robot. Really.
Despite its bonkers narrative, Ritter plays Ted so well that it's difficult not to be taken in by the madness of it all. And for an added bonus, it also explores Buffy and Joyce's relationship in a way that teases Buffy revealing her biggest secret. It's odd, but you'll be surprised how much you like it.
