Buffy The Vampire Slayer: 20 Greatest Moments

20. Meet Dawn

Yes, Dawn might not be the most all-round popular of characters, but it can't be denied that her shocking entrance in Buffy vs Dracula is one of the finest examples of the show pulling the rug from underneath us.

At the end of the episode, Buffy finds a strange girl in her bedroom. There's a brief moment of confusion and then - wham - of course, this is her little sister Dawn. Cue the audience's jaws hitting the floor.

We didn't get to find out the mystical truth about Dawn until later but, whether you love her or hate her, her arrival is the start of an important new chapter of the show.
