10 Buffy Moments That Hit You Hard
7. Spike Takes A Beating For Buffy, And She Knows It
Glory turned out to be one of, if not the best, Big Bads to ever grace our screens as part of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A god exiled from her own dimension forced to cohabitate a human body with a mortal named Ben, Glory was the high maintenance, bleached blonde, whip smart goddess of our nightmares, and very much the most deadly foe Buffy ever faced. Even if she could be a little bit of an airhead at times.
One of the most heartbreaking moments of the season comes when Spike is tortured by Glory for the location of the key, which will free her of her mortal prison and tear a hole back to her home dimension. Spike allows himself to be beaten bloody rather than divulge its location - or the fact that it is actually Dawn Summers, Buffy's little sister.
It's a fact Buffy learns first hand when she poses as the fake Buffy robot Spike has been romping around with. When asked why he never gave up what he knows, the vampire once sworn to kill the Slayer says "if anything happened to Dawn it would kill her. I couldn't live with her being in that much pain."
