So yes, she had to do what she did. Giles dies at the hands of Angel. Watch a scene from the episode below. Before Spike died, Buffy finally told Spike that she loved him. Episode no. So he turned his love of violence against them instead. This transition brought him to join forces and spend some time with the slayer and her friends. The show's most audaciously wiggy plotline this season was also the one that required the most patience on the part of viewers: Buffy suddenly had a bratty year-old sister, with no immediate explanation.
We'd never seen or heard about "Dawn" Michelle Trachtenberg before, but there she was, and Buffy, her mom and everybody else acted as if her presence was perfectly normal. As it turned out, Dawn isn't really human; she's an orb of pure energy called "the Key," and she supposedly figures into an evil recipe for disaster.
The order of monks that had been protecting the Key for centuries sent it to Buffy in the form of something she would protect with her life obviously, those monks never had a bratty little sister and put everybody under a "veiling spell" so they would accept Dawn as human. Only the mentally ill and certain animals are able to see Dawn for the empty shell she is. But, listen, the "my sister, my energy orb" plot line isn't all good vs.
The fact that Dawn is "negative space" is a breathtaking metaphor for an adolescent's lack of self-esteem -- Dawn feels completely overshadowed by her so-important, bossy big sister. As for Big Sis, Buffy is no longer the perky high schooler who pouted when her Watcher mentor Giles Anthony Stewart Head made her patrol the graveyard for vamps and miss the big dance.
Buffy is now 20, a college sophomore still a mediocre student, alas , and she's come to understand some hard truths about herself. For instance, deep down, she likes all the fighting and slaying -- she needs it.
If given a choice, she'd rather be a normal girl than a predestined vanquisher of evil, but she's past feeling sorry for herself; this is her job, and she's focussed on being the most ass-kicking demon-killer she can be.
Buffy has also realized that her perfectionism and self-reliance -- useful traits for a well-oiled Slayer -- kind of get in the way of romance. She tried to be all girly and yielding for her last boyfriend, macho soldier Riley Finn, but he complained that she didn't need him enough.
He was right; she never felt the same soul-deep passion for Riley that she did for Angel, the good vampire cursed to turn evil when he felt "perfect happiness. And this season, she's working overtime to keep it in check. Recently, Buffy's old nemesis, the bleached-blond punk vampire Spike James Marsters , has fallen daffily, perhaps dangerously, in love with her. But Buffy's "you repulse me" responses to Spike's declarations of love seem overly harsh, even cruel -- maybe because she's trying so hard not to relive l'affaire Angel.
Or, maybe, she fears that little bit of darkness curled up inside her. Each season, the writers have given Buffy a character-building crisis to deal with. She lost her virginity to Angel and he turned on her. She had to lead an apocalyptic battle with evil at her graduation ceremony. She was almost beaten to a pulp by Faith, a vicious, thrill-killing Slayer who represented what Buffy could become if she lost sight of her nobler purpose.
Riley dumped her he was last seen flying off to lick his wounds in a secret jungle military operation. But they were only dress rehearsals for what she's facing now. You have to hand it to the writers; Joyce's demise came as a complete surprise.
She'd had surgery for a brain tumor, but had seemingly recovered, and Buffy was starting to relax again. It turned out the child was simply a healthy human baby with whom the pregnant Darla was sharing a soul, allowing her to feel genuine love for the child and prompting her to seek innocent blood to feed it. This did not matter to Daniel Holtz , who had been brought through time by the demon Sahjhan to kill Angel and Darla.
Darla realized that she would lose her soul after giving birth and would be unable to love her child. She feared that she would kill the child eventually as her vampiric nature re-asserted itself once the child's soul was gone from her body.
Additionally, her undead body was becoming increasingly unable to sustain the life of her unborn child in time for it to be born. When Darla went into labor, things did not look well, and it appeared that she would lose the baby. Adding to the difficulties of birth, Darla and Angel were being pursued by the murderous Holtz, who chased them into the alley behind Caritas during a violent rainstorm.
Darla realized that the baby would die in the alley, just as the human Liam had died in an alley in order to birth the vampire Angelus. After telling Angel to make sure that their son would know that he was the one good thing the two vampires had ever done together, Darla staked herself, leaving behind a pile of dust and a crying and healthy infant — a final act of redemption to ensure the life of their son, Connor. Sometime later, Darla's spirit appeared to a teenager Connor when he was being tempted by Cordelia Chase possessed by the higher power later known as Jasmine to murder an innocent teenage girl, so that her blood could anoint a pregnant Cordelia and give birth to Jasmine.
Seemingly moved by his mother's words, Connor began to untie the girl, but "Cordelia" chastised him for allowing himself to be swayed by Darla's spirit, whose presence she could sense. Cordelia's words combined with Connor's anxiety for the life of the "baby" Jasmine , ultimately won out and Connor exclaimed to Darla: "You are not my mother! The girl's corpse remained as Darla for a brief moment. Connor never mentioned what he saw to anybody.
While visiting Galway, Fred and Angel discovered that the murders of committed by Angelus and Darla had became a tourist attraction.
As a human, Darla was a wealthy prostitute who seemingly thought poorly of humanity as a whole. She scoffed at religion and was displeased when the Master appeared disguised as a priest.
Darla had little opinion of herself as a human saying her soul was beyond saving and willing to let Satan take her. Unlike most vampires, Darla became a vampire by choice, accepting the Master's gift and entering into his service.
Darla appears to have had little attachment to who she was before becoming a vampire, even forgetting her birth name. As a vampire, Darla was cruel, manipulative and seductive. She appeared to view things from an immortal's perspective, seeing things from the point of view of someone who expects to live forever. She showed loyalty and dedication, though only to a certain point.
She was faithful to the Master, but chose to leave his service to travel the world with Angelus, [1] though she would periodically return to him [17] and returning permanently after Angel was ensouled. Darla has also displayed pettiness and jealousy, becoming instantly aggravated at the thought that Angelus had loved Buffy more than her. Despite her cruelty and evil nature, Darla genuinely loved Angelus and later their son Connor. She was even willing to accept her death so long as she was with Angel.
When turned into a vampire for a second time by Drusilla, Darla still retained some of the positive nature she gained in her short time as a human. She initially lashed out at Drusilla angrily for turning her back. Darla mostly redeemed herself with the birth of her son Connor. Darla was already changed by the baby in her womb she felt the guilt over the pain she had caused Holtz and expressed it to Angel. Knowing it was the only way to save her son, she staked herself, leaving Connor alive in her ashes.
Darla had the standard powers and vulnerabilities of a vampire. Additionally, she was stronger than most vampires because of her age and possessed a higher resistance to holy items.
When Monsignor Rivalli tried to ward her off with his cross necklace, Darla tossed him aside without a care she was around years old at that point. Darla displayed the psychic connection vampires had with those they sire: she was able to sense Angel's presence when he was close and could even tell that he was in the same city. Somehow she retained this connection even as a human. Buffyverse Wiki Explore. Angel season 1 Angel season 2 Angel season 3 Angel season 4 Angel season 5.

Once Angel left the series, Spike did really start to dominate as a character. He turned from a recurring side player to series regular. Whether Whedon was right to give Spike so much to do, is a matter of personal taste, but at least Whedon committed.
Love or hate them, but Angel and Buffy are constantly at an 11 on a scale of during Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Almost everything is the end of the world, whether in a personal or more literal and global sense.
Buffy and Angel have no chill whatsoever. Which is ironic because without warm blood Angel is nothing but chilly. Though the love scenes between Buffy and Angel were intense and steamy at least by late '90s broadcast TV standards , neither actor could take them seriously. Due to the fact that the two were such good friends, the actors were constantly pranking each other when it came time for Buffy and Angel to play tonsil hockey.
Sarah Michelle Gellar explained that she would eat tuna fish and pickles before kissing scenes. The last of which made it into an Angel episode. The whole thing puts all Bangel's angst in another context. The Angel who appears in the Buffy pilot is radically different the character who fans will come to know.
Yet his origins were much more ethereal. The idea was even floated that Angel would be an actual Angel. Around the same time that audiences found out about Angel is when the Buffy cast and crew knew what to do about Angel. An alternate reality where Angel is a literal angel is almost too bizarre to imagine. In the first season of the Angel , crossovers were quite frequent with Buffy.
Sarah Michelle Gellar appeared not once, but twice, during Angel season 1. David Boreanaz returned the favor with two brief Buffy season 4 appearances. Yet after season 1 of Angel, the crossovers only went one way. Angel rarely showed up on Buffy , reprising his role for the series finale and one other dramatic moment but Buffy never made her back to Angel.
The reason for keeping the two apart was about as boring as it can be imagined-- contract negotiations. For its first five seasons Buffy was on one network, The WB. When Angel launched as a spin-off during Buffy season 4, it obviously called the same network home. Yet after Buffy season 5, the flagship series moved to new network UPN. Even though Buffy and Angel were still taking place in the same universe, it became a huge headache to negotiate between the rival networks about which actors could appear on what series.
Angel and Buffy would only crossover when it was deemed "necessary. Angel relied on Buffy a little heavily in the early offing.
