"Beer Bad" is episode 5 of the fourth season of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This episode, written by Tracey Forbes and directed by David Solomon, packs a double moral. It was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Hairstyling in a Series.
Buffy is still hurting because Parker dumped her after a night together. In a daydream during one of Professor Walsh's classes (pointedly, about the role of the id in Freudian psychology) she saves Parker's life and he swears to do anything to get her back.
