Come Fly With Me

As you might expect, this week is a difficult episode. Giles tries to make sense of events and his fluctuating reaction to them. 

There isn’t much room for levity but Snoop dog releasing a new wine and Esther's fear of bedbugs do there best to offer some light to a very dark week.
