S1.10 – Nightmares
Teleplay by David Greenwalt
Story by Joss Whedon
Directed by Bruce Seth Green
First and Last Frames
First Joss Whedon story by credit since the 2 part pilot, with the Teleplay by David Greenwalt. And this episode has a lot of meat to it. Hank Summers, Buffy’s dad appears, and there is a lot of solid divorced parent fears. His performance is just cruel, and Sarah Michelle Gellar’s response is amazing. I would have said that this was a one off appearance by Buffy’s dad,
