10 Buffy Moments That Hit You Hard
3. Buffy Is Ripped Out Of Heaven
"I think I was in heaven."
When Buffy sings this line in Once More, With Feeling in season six, the look on the faces of her friends is heart-breaking. They, after all, brought her back to life assuming she'd been stuck in hell.
Yet it was her earlier confession to Spike about her heavenly afterlife that arguably hit harder. Why? Because it underlined the fact that she couldn't tell her friends, didn't want to hurt them, and didn't want them to know that they had ruined her afterlife, ripping her from the warmth and comfort of someplace better and back into the harsh, cruel world of the Slayer and Sunnydale, California.
Arguably, this would be worse than dying in the first place, especially for a Slayer who was already weary of the world.
