In this episode of The Sunnydale Diaries, Sean and Melanie dive into Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s season four finale, 'Restless.' But before they unpack the surreal dream sequences and cryptic cheese-man prophecies, they take a delicious detour into all things cheese - from grilled cheese perfection and the great white vs. yellow American cheese debate to their shared dream of trying raclette.
Join them as they explore how 'Restless' ties together dreams, fears, and future foreshadowing for Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Giles. It’s an episode filled with dreams, dairy, and destiny.
