Buffy Season 2, Episode

"Ted"
 
We get some nice domestic drama with Buffy's mom dating a new man and Buffy being all threatened by him. 
 
Fortunately Ted's a robot and Buffy successfully erases him from their lives.
 
The only thing notable in this relationship is that it is the first time Buffy 'kills' a human.  Of course he's not human but she thinks he is at first.  She has to deal with the trauma of causing death. 
 
Then as soon as she finds out he's a robot its like *poof* everything's better!  Convenient tv fix.  Bah deux ex machina.  Fortunately this gets explored better later in the series...no, no, I'm not spoiling anything.  You'll just have to wait and find out!
