Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S2/E13 Becoming Part 2

Buffy battles Angelus with Spike's help.

Tropes:

 * Anguished Declaration of Love
 * Barehanded Blade Block
 * Bridal Carry
 * Call Back
 * Canis Latinicus: Willow says that Oz will have to speak Latin during the Ritual of Restoration. However, they are actually speaking Romanian (and some lines of English).
 * Car Meets House
 * Chalk Outline
 * Comically Missing the Point
 * Couch Gag: The "Grr Arg" at the end of the credits was altered for this episode. Instead of the trademark grunt the monster says "Oooh, I need a hug".
 * Cryptic Conversation
 * Cut His Heart Out With a Spoon
 * Defiant to The End
 * Dialogue Reversal
 * Did We Just Have Tea With Cthulhu
 * Does This Remind You of Anything
 * Dramatic Irony
 * Dying As Yourself
 * Dynamic Entry
 * Enemy Mine
 * Even Evil Has Standards
 * Evil Gloating
 * Exact Words
 * Fake Out Make Out
 * Fate Worse Than Death
 * Foreshadowing: Principal Snyder is seen asking to speak with the mayor Richard Wilkins, who becomes the Big Bad in the next season.
 * Glamour
 * The Gods Must Be Lazy
 * Have You Tried Not Being a Monster
 * Hoist By His Own Petard
 * Hollywood Law: The officer shot at Buffy when Buffy ran away. A police officer would not have legally been able to use lethal force in this instance because no one's life was in immediate danger.
 * I Have No Son / You Can't Go Home Again
 * I Need a Freaking Drink
 * I'm a Doctor Not A Placeholder
 * Impaled With Extreme Prejudice
 * It Got Even Worse
 * Its All My Fault
 * Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique
 * Kiss of Death
 * Lame Excuse
 * Lonely Piano Piece
 * Lost in Character
 * Meaningful Echo: "Both times Angel dies, the words he hears are: "close your eyes". It's the last thing Darla said to him before she killed him and turned him into a vampire in the flashback in the episode "Becoming (1)." And it`s also the last thing Buffy says to him before she kills him in this episode.
 * Near Villain Victory
 * Noodle Implements / Chainsaw Good
 * Not Himself
 * The Last of These Is Not Like the Others:
 * OOC Is Serious Business
 * Oh Crap
 * Ominous Latin Chanting
 * Only I Can Kill Him
 * Our Wormholes Are Different
 * Nothing Is the Same Anymore
 * Prophecy Twist
 * Put On a Bus
 * Red Eyes Take Warning
 * Screaming Warrior
 * Season Finale
 * See You in Hell
 * Smash Cut
 * Stop or I Will Shoot
 * Sword Fight
 * Take My Hand
 * Talking in Your Sleep
 * Talking Is a Free Action
 * Tap On the Head
 * An aversion: Spike doesn't punch Drusilla unconscious, he chokes her out (or perhaps uses pressures points) -- which is almost fitting for these two.
 * Another theory is that Spike breaks her neck. As long as he doesn't decapitate her, she'll eventually recover. )A choke hold obviously won't work on a vampire because they don't have to breathe.)
 * Tempting Fate
 * Torture First Ask Questions Later
 * Trailers Always Spoil: There was never a big question as to whether Angel would return since the announcement of Angel was made right after this episode aired.
 * Waxing Lyrical
 * What Happened to The Mouse
 * Wham Line
 * You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You
 * Your Door Was Open
