Episode: Season 3, Episode 1 - "Anne" At the end of Buffy's second season, Buffy banishes her first love, Angel, to hell. Consumed with guilt, despite doing it for "the greater good" (to save the world), and despite not knowing til the last minute that it was Angel, not his evil alter-ego Angelus, she heaped blame on herself, and headed for the hills - or headed for Los Angles, to be exact. Buffy has, in essence, run from her past and her troubles. She's taken on the name Anne, her middle name, and is working in a diner. And despite being away from home, she can't escape her troubles: she's soon bumping in to someone she recognizes. Trouble manages to find her. The change of scenery provided comfort, but no real solution to her guilt. Sound familiar? People often talk of getting a "fresh start" but more often than not, they either bring their problems with them, or their problems find them.
