Buffy Episode "Hush"

As I was watching this episode, I see that Buffy has matured from that average high school girl into this woman in college. Buffy has taken up the pathway that was set for her and she has grown into her powers that she did not believe she capable of.

Here, Buffy and her friends are confronted with a particular situation where everyone in the town has lost their voice. I found this hard to watch the episode because it is altogether strange to watch something silent. This brings up a huge problem because,without communication, it is difficult to get anything done. Communication is a big part of living within a society because it brings people closer and everyone has the opportunity to talk things out. For instance,Buffy and Willow decides to better their communication by buying dry erase boards. The girls can write out what they are trying to say. Even the town went through a moment of panic, but people found ways to keep their communication alive.

With her friends and Riley, Buffy is able to figure out that the Gentlemen are the enemies in the town. They are fairytale creatures and come into a town to steal voices so that people cannot scream. In the night, the Gentlemen come out and cut out hearts of the people in town. Their goal is to cut out at least seven hearts.

To kill the Gentlemen, a human voice must be heard and screamed out. Together, Buffy and Riley work together to fight against this evil force. They are surprised to find each other at the same place, but are grateful for each other's presence because teamwork is much better than accomplishing a mission alone.

I know that a life without communicating to one another would be impossible to live in because this is how we make each day work. It is good to see that the town worked together, especially Buffy and her friends. The best way was to remain calm and find the solution, which Buffy succeeded at. Now that Riley and Buffy know who they really are, I wonder if they are interested in being in a relationship because Riley did say Buffy was "special".
