Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S5/E22 The Gift: Difference between revisions

The Scoobies face off against Glory. Xander proposes to Anya. Buffy discovers the meaning of "Death is your gift". This was the last episode to air on ''[[The WB]]''. So in a way its sort of a series finale for the network that supported the show from the beginning.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Actually a Doombot]]: Glory decapitates Buffy -- only to be surprised that the Slayer is a robot. Then the real Buffy appears behind her wielding a great big hammer.}}

* [[Always Save the Girl]]: Buffy refuses to even consider the idea of killing Dawn to stop the ritual.

* [[The Glasses Come Off]]: Inverted -- Giles deliberately puts ''on'' his glasses {{spoiler|before suffocating Ben, making a point of not sparing himself the horror of what he's doing.}}

* [[Groin Attack]]: A rare female example. It's hard to see due to the pace of the fight, but at one point Glory clearly punches Buffy in the groin. And yes, it hurts just as much for women, and Glory is a god... ouch.

* [[Hidden Depths]]: Despite the derision of Spike and Giles, Anya comes up with some good ideas to fight Glory, and stays to fight instead of [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|leaving Sunnydale like she did in "Graduation Day"]].

* [[Held Gaze]]: Spike shares an [[Oh Crap]] look with Dawn a moment before Doc pushes him off the tower.

'''Vampire:''' What the hell are you talking about?<br />

'''Buffy:''' Wow. Never heard that one? Okay, how about, "Oh God, my leg, my leg?" (Breaks his leg)<br />
