Review of Family

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Family (2000)
Season 5, Episode 6
5/10
Meaningless Episode
11 November 2017
Warning: Spoilers
In "Family", Tara's family comes to town in order to take her back home because of her terrible secret. Tara attempts to hide her secret from her friends. Meanwhile, Glory has demons go after Buffy after last episode's incident.

Not too much happens in this episode. We find out Tara's part demon, only to be told a few minutes later this was all falsified by her family. So really there's no point to this story arc at all besides establishing that Tara's "real family" is the Scooby gang.

The only takeaway I got from this episode is that Riley is a regular at the demon bar because he's got a death wish or something.

Conclusion: Pretty weak episode in my opinion. The entire plot was resolved by Spike punching Tara in the face.
