Xander is such a lost and sad character. He feels so deficient in his manhood and yet tries to present bravado. Buffy doesn't try much as a student and is frequently vilified for that. But her biology teacher tells her she is smart and capable of anything. Unfortunately, he is attacked from behind and dies sans his head. Enter a beautiful, sultry brunette who takes over his class. But she has ulterior motives. She is actually a giant praying mantis, the variety where the female bites off the male's head during sex. She apparently keeps a stash of young virgin males to fertilize her eggs. Does that sound as stupid as it truly is. Anyway, a creative solution comes up, but the fact that anyone could do this is a little beyond belief. It was entertaining but the monster looked silly.
