| | Salon Entertainment | Joyce Millman On Television: Buffy |
 | | In the last episode of the season, Buffy was framed for murder, got kicked out of school, had a mega-fight with Mom, rescued her mentor, Giles, from a vampire torture chamber and saved the world from getting sucked into the mouth of hell by running a ritual sword through her relapsed bloodsucker ex-boyfriend Angel. |
 | | Right at the moment when Buffy was getting ready to spear his internal organs, the curse was lifted and Angel was back to his old self again and he got all weepy and told her he loved her, but she had to skewer him anyway to finish the world-saving ritual. |
 | | Buffy is literally a freak, and Willow, Xander and Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter), the snob who lost face with the in-crowd when she started making out in broom closets with Xander, are shunned by their classmates. |
