The Viewing Files: Well We Could Just Blow Up High School...

Finally the end of season 3 is nigh and kick ass leather seems to be the look when fighting bad guys.
 
Season 3 Episode 17: Enemies

Faith and The Mayor try to get Angel on their side.  Only to do this it means getting rid of his soul and bringing out Angelus.  And the last thing anyone needs is Angelus to join in the mayhem.

Fav Quote: Giles: Demons after money. Whatever happened to the still-beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore. 

Fashion: For the first time Faith makes a decent fashion choice and wears a burgundy leather shirt that is very much her.

Body Count: 0
Season 3 Episode 18: Earshot

While fighting a demon Buffy gets infected by it's blood and now she can read minds.  Which is kind of cool but quickly becomes much worse as Buffy struggles with the overload of everyone's thoughts and becomes very ill, though not before revealing that she 'heard' that someone in the school is planning on murder.

With Buffy out of commission it's up to the Scoobies to find the potential mass murderer while Giles, Wesley and Angel try to find a cure for Buffy before it's too late.

Fav Quote: Buffy: Is this the thing? The aspect thing? Because I gotta say, if it is, it’s way better than a tail. I mean, I have a hard enough time finding jeans that fit right. 

Fashion: The cardigan look is back... twice this time in a all pink number and then in a grey paired with a black cami and grey skirt. Buffy is totally rockin' the whole more grown up look.  Thank God the short short skirts and dresses are finally gone.  Xander also looks pretty good in a nice pale yellow jumper.  Not a colour I would have thought of working but which surprisingly it does.

Body Count: 0
Season 3 Episode 19: Choices

Fed up and knowing that her chances of ever leaving Sunnydale are pretty much zero while her friends are busy making plans for their futures, Buffy decides to go on the offensive and attacks The Mayor where it will hurt him the most.

Unfortunately her plan seriously back fires when Willow gets captured by Faith.

Fav Quote: Buffy: Unfortunately, that's all I could get out of my informant before his aggressive tendencies forced me to introduce him to Mr. Pointy. 

Fashion: Giles in a blue shirt and braces.  I pretty much lost focus after that.

Body Count: 2
Season 3 Episode 20: The Prom

Even proms at Sunnydale High don't go without problems and with Hell Hounds on the loose it's up to Buffy to save the day and the prom, ensuring that everything goes without a hitch.  The prom though may still have a few surprises in store for her,

Fav Quote: Buffy: Couldn't we just let this be the vamp that got away? We can say he was this big.
Angel: What can I say? I need closure. 


Fashion: It's a prom so you just know that prom dresses are going to feature.  Both Buffy's and Willow's are just so them.  Perfect.

Body Count: 1
Season 3 Episode 21: Graduation Day Part One

With the Ascension drawing close Faith poisons Angel with an arrow in an effort to distract Buffy from the Mayor's plans.  Hunting for a cure Giles finds out the only cure is the blood of a Slayer...

Fav Quote: Giles: Faith has you at a disadvantage, Buffy.
Buffy: 'Cause I'm not crazy, or 'cause I don't kill people?
Giles: Both, actually. 


Fashion: Buffy red leather pants.

Body Count: 1
Season 3 Episode 22: Graduation Day Part Two

With Faith badly injured and in a coma Buffy and the rest make their plans to finally take out the Mayor and stop the Ascension.   

And every high school students dream is filled with an ending that is kind of perfect all round.

Fav Quote:
Xander: Here’s your coffee. Brewed from the finest Colombian lighter fluid.
Giles: Horrible.
Xander: Aren’t you supposed to be drinking tea anyway?
Giles: Tea is soothing. I wish to be tense.


Fashion: What with all the planning and killing and massacre it's no surprise that there are any fashion choices that stand out in this episode.

Body Count:  At least 5 but probably a lot more.  It's just one big massacre fight so it was kind of hard to keep count.
