The Viewing Files: Truth and Sacrifice

And we're at the end of season 2.  Excuse me while I'll go off sobbing into a corner.
 
Season 2 Episode 19: I Only Have Eyes For You

As if going to Sunnydale High isn't all ready bad enough now the school is being haunted by a pissed off ghost.  

Giles, still mourning the death of the woman he loved, begins to think that it might be her, trying to communicate from the after life.  Buffy and the gang though think that it's something a lot more serious and soon Buffy and Angelus find themselves compelled to reenact a ghostly tragedy of desperate love.

Fav Quote: Xander: "'Something weird is going on.' Isn't that our school motto?" 

Fashion: Nothing really memorable so can we just talk about how awesome Spike's look has been the entire season.  Long black leather coat, red shirt and the slicked back blonde hair.  Totally works in every way.

Season 2 Episode 20: Go Fish

It's the fish episode.

Or the one where Xander goes undercover and joins the swim team in an effort to help Buffy find out who... or what is eating the team members, leaving behind just their skins.

Unfortunately Xander might have more to worry about than whether something is going to eat him...

Fav Quote: Buffy: "So something ripped him open and ate out his insides?"
Willow: "Like an Oreo cookie. Well, except for, you know... without the chocolatey cookie goodness."
 


Fashion: Blue again seems to be the theme.  A sort of royal blue this time with Giles's shirt and Buffy's simple v neck top.  Gorgeous colour.

Body Count: 2 Sunnydale High staff
Season 2 Episode 21: Becoming Part 1

Flashbacks reveal how Angelus/Angel come into being just as Willow and Buffy find the spell that will restore his soul.

Angelus though has other plans...

Fav Quote: Cordelia: How about because you're a tiny, impotent Nazi with a bug up his butt the size of an emu?
Buffy: Sums it up. 


Fashion:  Buffy wears her hair up for a lot of this episode. It's sort of chignon thingy held up with what look like pencils and some loose side bangs that just soften the whole thing.

Body Count: 3
Season 2 Episode 22: Becoming Part 2

Carrying on from where the previous episode left off Angelus's path of death and destruction has left Willow in hospital, Giles his prisoner and Buffy on the run from the police. Just when it looks like things can't get worse Spike shows with info about Angelus's real plan and a proposition for The Slayer.  

In the end Buffy is left facing the choice of making the ultimate sacrifice.

Fav Quote: Spike: The truth is, I like this world. You've got... dog racing, Manchester United. And you've got people. Billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It's all right here.

Fashion:  With everything that is happening in these last two episodes it's kind of hard to concentrate of the fashion aspect.  Buffy though rocks the black beanie in her undercover incognito look so there is that.
