Listener Feedback:
-Could Willow be season 4's big bad?
-Lots of love for 'Hush.'
-There's a bit of disappointment that Doyle's final ep wasn't more exciting, while someone else just wonders how much we regret not trusting our half-demon brother.
-Someone was distracted by All the Small Things in 'Something Blue'
-Was the plot of Cursed Child just an idea stolen from Angel 1x08, "I Will Remember You"? The world may never know.

Kristen's Kontemplations:
-Buffy 4x11 "Doomed" -- Are Riley and Buffy doomed to never understand each other? Or is the world coming to an end yet again?
-Angel 1x11 "Somnambulist" -- It's either the sound of an ambulance or someone is sleep walking. We hope it's Angel. Does he sleep? Have we covered that yet?
