Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 3, Episode 12: Helpless
Written by David Fury; Directed by James A. ContnerA good episode, and one that, at this point in the show's life, was extremely necessary, because it shows that Buffy's strength is not merely physical but also mental. It's a cliché, admittedly, but it works. A lot of people, I've noticed, get the idea that Buffy isn't particularly bright, and the show at times plays into this, focusing on her not particularly great performance at school, among other things, but this episode shows that, even when zapped of all her fighting powers, she can still overpower an opponent considerably stronger than her.
Overall rating: 8/10.
Next time: The Zeppo.

If memory serves, she actually does rather well when it comes to university offers. I've always thought that the reason why she does badly in class is that she's forced to devote so much time to slaying activities and practice.
