Man I love the last lines at the end of this one,and was holding my breath hoping yall would really get to hear them but that big vampire reveal caused too much commotion. I just think that "lie to me" is such a perfect line with the context of the episode and the title and the she gives the best delivery.

There is a lot of lore being built up in this episode, which is something I personally love in this show. We get how the definition of who is good and who is evil is spelled out. Basically, it doesn't matter which side you take, it really comes down to the choices you make. Also, it opens up a whole new layer in the slayer lore. When the show first starts, we are basically told there are demons and vampires, which are evil, and Buffy kills them. Then the episode Angel introduced the concept of demons that aren't evil. So, it added a whole new responsibility to Buffy. Before, she was simply the warrior killing demons. Afterwards, she also became the judge of them, having to decide if they warranted being killed. Now, we have been introduced to the concept of, what does Buffy do as the slayer if the evil being is a human? Especially a human that has a lot of terrible things going on that may somehow justify his evil actions. Fortunately for her, Ford was turned into a vampire, so he fell under her jurisdiction as it were. Still, it opens up the concept of what sort of action can Buffy take against a human foe? Does being the slayer give her any rights to judge or even execute a human doing something evil?

I don't know. I think it kind of is a bit of unexpected character development for Spike. We are lead to believe that vampires are really demons with no conscience, but Spike appears to have some sense of honor, since he fulfilled his side of the bargain despite losing Buffy. It adds to the development that he sacrificed all those humans, including a slayer with her slayer blood, all for Drusilla. It adds depth to the Buffverse's vampire lore too.

Oh my I forgot that Jason Behr played Ford in Buffy, it just makes me wanna rewatch his show, Roswell, for the 4th time lol its highly recommend an one of my favorite shows to watch

Trying to keep it spoiler-free, but are you thinking of the last episode of Buffy the show or the last episode of the Buffy-verse on TV (AtS - "Not Fade Away")? If you're still only coming up with 2, remember who G**n spends his day helping, that's the one that's really mindblowing to tie all the way back to this episode.

Andrew W

I want to ask that you please remember Chantarelle...for way down the line.

BetheSOUL

Wait I can only think of one lol

CWall

This episode and buffy wanting the lie at the end to make things easier is important. remember that in the finale.

Christopher simeon

I can't tell you how many times I watched this episode before I realised that was Ford at the end. I think it's because they have the scene where Ford "wakes up" an is like "OK, give me my reward" and Spike looks meaningfully at him. BUT it seems like he kept his word. Maybe he just realised Buffy would stake him reight away.

Paul Mason

Also they have established that vampires don’t show up in mirrors in 1x11 Angel appears without a reflection and willow asks him how he’s able to shave without being able to see himself

Blake

Wooooo! Another really episode guys, another one of my top favorite episodes of this season, this is really one of the best seasons of the series.

Ricardo Obregon

So Chris pretty much got it correct. If it helps you guys differentiate between them... Angelus - evil vampire that wreaked havoc in Europe most of the 18th century along with his sire Darla. During this time he was wreaking havoc in Europe, Angelus came across Drusilla. As Angel explained in this episode...Angelus stalked and tortured Drusilla by visiting every mental torture upon her until she snapped. That included killing her family. And only THEN did he turn Drusilla. Angelus would continue this pattern for years, stalking his prey in sadistic and creative ways...until he did that to the wrong girl. Angelus's final victim - a young Romani princess - would be his undoing. Her family is who put the curse on Angelus and restored his human soul. Angel - the re-ensouled vampire that the Romani clan brought into being with their curse. As a vampire, Angelus had the luxury of not having a human conscience or soul while he was wreaking havoc for over a century. He murdered countless people with a smile on his face and no regret at all. Angel, however, doesn't have that luxury. He had no memory of what Angelus did at first. But after a brief time, the memories of Angelus's victims came flooding back. And Angel saw each and every one of their faces as they died. And his human soul has to live with the knowledge of all those deaths Angelus caused in his body. Angel vs Angelus. That might help you guys keep the two straight.

Me neither, and couldn't find it on the site yet!

Dan Flashes came to play today! Love the shirts!!

I would say the show just hit 3rd gear, still a ways away from full speed ahead.

Tim Pierce

Nobody ever dies, don't forget that.

“You don’t have a good choice but you have a choice!” If there’s a quote that sums up this season and the rest of Buffy it’s that one

space colon

It took me a real long time to think of the third, and then I went Ohhhhhhh. That's cool.

outdoorcats

I can’t get the video to play

Joss writes the best episodes

King Medjai

Spike - a man of his word.

indaeo

Ah I wish you guys did two a week, the weekly wait may just kill me

Selena

They are going to need many lore refreshers before this series is through

Calvin Allen

Thank you Chris for remembering that Angel had his soul restored

Blake

“I want to know what happened and how he (Angel) changed.” Suraj, you may want to revisit season 1 episode 7 titled “Angel”. Angel was cursed with having his soul back, which is why he changed. Chris had it right.

Elle B.

The ending scene is such a great moment between Buffy and Giles really impactful

Blake

If I went back in time to when this first aired and told fans which three characters from this episode would be the ones to also appear in the finale of the Buffy-verse on TV, absolutely no one would have believed it.

Andrew W

6, Rana gets to stick around, unless I get to be young, beautiful and rich, then it’s all 7.

Ryan

Liar.

Kitty

This ending is just one of the best moments between Giles and Buffy. The episode itself just hits different too

dannydarko27

"Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day." That entire last scene has been living rent free in my head since '97
