Joyce went into the hospital for tests? I can't remember.

Season 5

What was the name of the demon that Riley and Sam were tracking in "As You Were"?

Suvolte

BUFFY: What is it?
RILEY: Suvolte demon. Rare, lethal ... nearly extinct, but not nearly enough. It's close.

RILEY: What?
BUFFY: Sorry. It's just ... you still carry around all that James Bond stuff.

BUFFY: It's so cute! I forgot.

BUFFY: Sorry. Carry on.
RILEY: We've been tear-assing through every jungle from Paraguay up, taking out nests. As soon as we put one Suvolte down, a dozen take its place. They're breeders, Buffy. One turns into ten, ten becomes a hundred. This gets out of hand and there's a war with humans? Humans are gonna lose.

*slaps forehead* I meant to type, what season i.e. Summer, Winter, etc., did she go into the hospital. I need to quite asking questions when sleepy. *blushes*

Which time? You mean when they found out what was wrong with her (Shadow)? I'd say that's late fall, early winter. Family, which was only two episodes before is set in October. So Shadow is prolly November?

Or if you're talking about the first time she was in the hospital (Out of my mind), that was two eppies before Family, so maybe late August/early September? Would make it either late summer or early fall.

Yeah, this is mostly guesswork based on Tara's bday. Sorry, best I can do...

The "FFL" ep (when Joyce initially tells Buffy that she's going in for tests) aired in November, plus everyone seemed to be wearing sweaters/coats in the following eps.  Then, in the beginning of "The Body", they start out with a Christmas Dinner dream sequence, for lack of a better word.   So I'd say it was winter.

Thanks! ^_^
