I think “Beer Bad” is a much better episode. 😏

I think Beer Bad is worse than this. Sure this one is a bit of a filler, but it does serve the purpose of showing that Buffy is struggling with life in general. After Flooded, she now has to deal with trying to combine a job with her slayer duties - and the three guys make it harder in true Buffyverse fashion. In the metaphor it shows how starting adult life while maintaining hobbies is hard (yes in this metaphor slaying is a hobby, not a job - this is not true in-universe of course, which is why it's a metaphor). Beer bad on the other hand had no purpose other than to say "drinking is bad," which does not fit into the show at all.

As usual when there’s a lecture in the episode, it’s relevant to the theme of the episode. In this case the lecture is about perceived reality. That’s why it doesn’t matter that much that technically the spells and scientific experiments that Buffy is subjected to don’t work logically. They work only from Buffy’s perspective because it’s her perceived reality that’s altered.
