No.13: “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” Episode 9

I watched the ninth episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 today. The name is The Puppet Show. Buffy, Willow, and Xander had to perform a show on the School Talent Show. It was the punishment from the principal Snyder. A dancer called Emily was killed with her heart removed. On the other hand, a guy named Morgan who played a puppet in his talent show acted strangely. He treated the puppet Sid like he was real and he could talk! Buffy and her fellows suspected the puppet to be the demon that killed Emily. Then Morgan was found dead by Buffy and his brain was removed. The puppet appeared and tried to kill Buffy, but Buffy was stronger and got control of the puppet. After their conversation, they realized they both had wrong opinions about each other. The puppet was a demon hunter but was turned into a puppet when he killed a demon! The reason that the puppet wanted to kill Buffy was because he thought Buffy was the demon he was going after. Buffy and her fellows figured out that the next target of the demon was the Watcher. They arrived just in time to save the Watcher and killed the demon. Then the puppet died and became a real puppet.

Buffy and the puppet both took each other as their enemy before their conversation. So we can see that communication is very important. Good communication can prevent major conflicts like the misunderstanding in the episode. And, sometimes people are not the way as we think they are. So I believe the best way to get to know people is to have a conversation with them.
