The fourth season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" marks a significant shift in the series as Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) begins her college life at UC Sunnydale. The season explores the challenges of newfound independence, as Buffy faces not only supernatural threats but also the pressures of academia and adult responsibilities. With the introduction of the Initiative, a secretive government organization, the line between friend and foe becomes blurred. Season 4 introduces new characters, including Riley Finn (Marc Blucas), Buffy's romantic interest, and explores themes of identity, trust, and the consequences of tampering with supernatural forces. It offers a mix of action, humor, and character development as Buffy's world expands beyond high school.
