Realizing that since
However, when Buffy goes outside and finds Spike hiding in a patch of shade, she admits to him that she was actually in Heaven and was happy. Spike is shocked as she relays that feeling the loss of Heaven, where she felt safe, loved, and complete, is Hell, and she stresses that her friends can never know the truth.
Giles shows Buffy the syringe and and explains that it's an organic compound designed to take away her strength temporarily. He admits that he's been injecting her with it for the Tento di Cruciamentum — a test every slayer must go through when/if they reach their eighteenth birthday.
Buffy took that to mean that dealing Death, i.e. killing was her gift. But in The Gift, she realized that her gift is that she can save the world and her sister through her own death, her sacrifice. That's pretty much it. We had to learn alongside Buffy about the meaning of the gift.
Season nine continues, after issue five's cliffhanger revelation that the Slayer was pregnant, with Buffy deciding what to do about the unwanted pregnancy – the result of a drunken night at a party.
By the end of the issue, Buffy comes to the conclusion that she cannot have a baby. The decision was so important for Buffy creator and Season 9 exec producer Joss Whedon, that he took time off from finishing his post-production directing duties on The Avengers to talk with EW about the issue.
After that momentous night, however, Angel lost his soul and turned into a blood-lusting killing machine, a frightening metaphor for how your first time can often be more traumatic than romantic. Angel eventually regained his soul, and he and Buffy shared many more intimate moments before the series's conclusion.
As the series went on, the significance of Dawn's arrival is revealed to the series's other characters, and they come to understand that she has not always been Buffy's sister, or indeed a sentient being; Dawn had originally been the mystical "key" to unlocking dimensions and was made into Buffy's sister so the Slayer ...
Glory, a god from a hell dimension, wanted to get back to her world and needed the Key to do it. Because of this, monks changed the energy into someone that Buffy would protect--a little sister. Like most teenagers, Dawn has some behavioral issues, especially after finding out what she used to be.
Buffy's statement to Dawn, "The hardest thing in this world is to live in it," is repeated by Dawn as an encouragement to her sister in "Once More, with Feeling."
Regardless, Buffy is still referred to as the Slayer. Buffy's second death did not result in another slayer being called because of Faith—a new slayer would not be called until her death; however, Buffy's second resurrection for some reason caused an imbalance in the Slayer line.
Spike was initially conceived as a disposable villain to be killed off, but proved so popular with fans that Joss Whedon decided to merely injure him instead, in the episode "What's My Line, Part Two", in which Spike is crushed by a collapsing pipe organ and left paralyzed.
In the season 2 finale of Angel, the Angel Investigations team arrives back to the hotel to find a grief-stricken Willow sitting, waiting for them with some bad news: Buffy is dead.
She finds out about him being alive "off-screen" and their first meeting afterwards (late season 8, don't know the exact issue) is an extremely weird mix between Buffy being pissed that Spike didn't return to her sooner and Buffy fantasizing about jumping his bones, which many people disliked, but I personally loved.
Buffy Summers went to an unknown heavenly dimension after she died. Buffy was expelled from there when her friends resurrected her, bringing her back to Earth.
"We wanted to bring in somebody of a different age to sort of give us a different perspective on everybody's lives, and that's as much as I can say." We do know, however, that Dawn will indeed be Buffy's sister. Somehow. That Buffy and her friends are going to have memories that include her.
After a visit from her ex-boyfriend Riley, Buffy broke off their relationship, and told him that she couldn't love him and was only using him to "feel alive." Buffy admitted that while she did have feelings for Spike, she did not love him, and told him that their relationship couldn't have been real to him because ...
Despite her still-strong feelings for Oz, Willow ultimately realized that Tara was the one she truly loved and wanted to be with at that point in her life.
In November, the activist chimed in on the great debate over whether Angel or Spike was the “right” man for Buffy. To be fair, Angel was the right boyfriend for Buffy coming into her power. Spike was the right man to be with as she became the power.
It actually speaks to Abrams's point about Buffy -- that Angel was the perfect love interest for Buffy when she was growing into her own, while Spike was an ideal man to be with her when she'd fully embraced her power and potential.
Buffy Anne Summers is the title character of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise. She first appeared in the 1992 film Buffy the Vampire Slayer before going on to appear in The WB/UPN 1997–2003 television series and subsequent 1998–2018 Dark Horse and 2019–present Boom!
In the episode "Waiting in the Wings", Angel realizes he has romantic feelings for Cordelia, but is prevented from voicing them by the return of Groosalugg. Cordelia dates Groosalugg for the remainder of the season, but Groo notices she loves Angel instead and decides to leave.
Carpenter joined the cast for the first season in 1997, but she had left the series by 1999 after just three of the seven seasons. One of the main reasons why she left the show was so she could become one of the main cast in the spin-off series Angel. The spin-off focussed on Buffy's love interest and David Boreanaz.
Angelus terrorizes Willow and the Gang at school, emotionally tormenting Buffy. Later, as they discuss Angel's transformation in the library, Buffy realises that having sex with Angel is what caused him to turn evil. Buffy has a dream in which Angel indicates that Jenny knows more than she is letting on.
