When Your Worst Enemy Is in Your Skin | Buffy S04E16 Rewatch

Buffy and Faith have traded bodies, and the emotional carnage is just beginning. As Faith inhabits Buffy’s life—playing Scooby, flirting with Riley, and taunting mirrors—Buffy is stuck inside Faith’s skin, trying to survive the aftermath of a coma and a manhunt.

This episode doesn’t just give us clever chaos—it digs into identity, guilt, performance, and the desperate ache to escape yourself. Also, there’s punching. A lot of it.

🎙 With your Council of chaos:

• Rob “Snark” Clark
• Fares Muthana
• Special Guest: Brennen Marr

💬 We’re diving into the iconic performances, the Slayer psychology, and that church confrontation scene. Did Eliza Dushku deserve an Emmy?
