Buffy, "Out of Mind, Out of Sight"

So since I have been having so much trouble finding any real life material in the second season of Buffy I searched around on the internet and found a season one episode.  Today I watched “Out of Mind, Out of Sight” which has related with everyone sometime in their life.  In this episode a girl named Marcie is so invisible to all the peers at her school that she literally becomes invisible.  She is not a witch or anything, but since the school is on top of the hell mouth there are magic kind of powers just floating around causing supernatural things to happen without anyone knowing. 

In the episode they show flashbacks to times when she tried to talk to people or would try to answer questions in class, but everyone just saw right past her and payed no attention to her.  She wants to get revenge on Cordelia was one of the people who ignored her the most and, because she is the most popular girl in the school and could not miss a day without someone noticing she was not there.  Marcie attacks Cordelia’s boyfriend in the locker room, then Cordelia’s friend, and then a teacher.  Buffy, Xander, Willow, and Giles search around and finally find out the girl is Marcie and Cordelia knows that she is after her.  Buffy is then like a body guard for Cordelia to make sure Marcie does not attack her, but when Buffy puts her in a janitors closet to change she no longer hears Cordelia talking and knows Marcie has got to her.  She busts in but is quickly knocked out by Marcie and she wakes up to being tied up in a room with Cordelia.  In the mean time, Giles, Xander, and Willow are trapped in a room filled with gas, but Angel saves them.  Buffy ends up getting out of the ropes and uses her super sense of hearing to located Marcie.  She knocks her down into a blanket and government like people come in and take her away.  Buffy asks if there has been other people that this has happened to at other schools but they do not answer her.  They end up taking Marcie to a special school where the whole classroom of students are invisible. 

What this episode is trying to get across is that there are so many people that just want to be involved with others but are not given the chance and are just ignored.  This affects people so much that they feel they are actually invisible.
