Another great "monster" that represents the real fears of high school: The Invisible Girl. Cordelia is a lot of fun in this one. The interplay between Buffy and Cordelia is always amusing in season 1. The knife effect at the end is actually chilling.

The introduction of an invisible girl is interesting. For a time we see how she was indeed invisible in her world and then literally so. Of course, it's Cordelia and her buddies that are her target, as well as the teacher that ignored her in class. Ever since Claude Rains and his old Invisible Man movies, I've been intrigued by the whole idea of invisibility. What would one do? Of course, nearly every male would have a similar goal. There are times in these episodes when I'm not sure of Buffy's capabilities. She seems vulnerable in this one and yet she can be slammed against concrete walls, struck full blast in the face, and keep on cooking. I wonder if they ever thought of getting a can of spray paint. Unless she has some sort of teflon coating, a little bit of stuff would expose her.

Digging deep into the human psyche, we find a problem amoung our society. While in the episode the result manifests into a metaphysical occurrence, the reality is a lot of us struggle on a regular basis to fit in or even just find our place in the world. Truth is, usually the result is taking one's own life, if not others in the process as well. Key takeaway is to always listen and get help for those who are struggling.

Heavy theme considered, we do have a suspenseful episode that could actually take off in any direction. A nod to classic sci-fi, a homage to current crime drama, this unique episode foregoes otherworldly monsters for the ones we battle emotionally.

This episode about an invisible girl go down as the best Monster of the week episode from Season 1 , only the Pilot and The final might be better, but they are the main story.

My first 9/10 for a standalone, i Hope to see some more good one like " Out of mind , out of sight" Cordelia finally reveal she is more than a beach.

Not got a lot to say other than this is possibly the worst ever episode of buffy, it looks bad, the acting was laughable, a really bad pointless and silly filler episode which is the worst kind of episode you can do
