I have to say... I'm not one to cry during movies or TV shows. It doesn't matter how many times I watch this episode, I bawl like a baby every time. This episode makes me physically sick. And I think it's just because my mom and I are so close that I can't even imagine the despair that I will feel when she passes someday and this episode takes me to that very place.

2025-06-26 05:12:15 +0000 UTCWe all knew what awaited you at the end of the previous episode and then this sad, tragic, magnificent episode of television that followed. The fake-out where she is revived was brutal to watch the first time, and Anya’s reaction, the way she struggles to understand the concept of mortal death is just heartbreaking. As a personal aside, I was a couple years younger than Buffy when I discovered my mother in very similar circumstances, on a couch, which made this episode even harder to get through when it aired, even though it had been a few years. When you lose a parent, you react in your own unique way, because your relationship to them was unique and different from every relationship that everyone else has with their parents. What Tara hinted at is true, you go through so many thoughts and question how you are reacting to this loss. There is no right way or wrong way to grieve. This episode is beautiful and terrible and everything in between.
