A new girl in the building, a little bit older than Buffy but young enough to idolize a teen Cissy's age, snidely gives Buffy the impression she is too old to be playing with Mrs. Beasley (she may have a point), but is Buffy ready to stick Mrs. B. up in the closet? A sweet, though awfully contrived episode has Buffy seeking counseling from a REAL Mrs. Beasley, a kindly old woman who actually runs a doll shop in the neighborhood!! The best part of this episode is Buffy's dilemma, which she takes quite seriously, asking her family members for their opinions and making thoughtful statements like, "I didn't know growing up meant giving away the things you love..."

The Real Mrs Beasley
Jimmy_the_Gent410 November 2020
Buffy meets an older girl who thinks that playing with dolls is "baby" stuff.
One of the best episodes. It is interesting that it tries to show that Buffy may be growing up since the show producers wanted to keep her character a little girl. Buffy says in this one that she is almost 9, but in the first season she was 6 so that would mean her character should be almost 11. In reality Anissa Jones was almost 13. We see Buffy struggling with trying to give up Mrs Beasley, the intriguing part of this episode was when she insists there is the doll and there is a real person named Mrs Beasley. See this episode, it is worth it to find out.
