10 Buffy The Vampire Slayer Episodes Everyone Remembers For ONE Awesome Scene

"Uh oh, Daddy's home. I'm in wicked trouble now."

A continuation of the final scene of the previous episode, Grave picks up right where the action begins, with a battle of magick and wills between veiny, black-haired Willow and Buffy's ex-watcher Rupert Giles.

But this watcher has well and truly found his way out of the books and is ready to put everyone back in their place. Gone are the tweed and glasses, replaced by a dark coat, a moody look and a coven's-worth of magical ju-ju to take down Emo Willow.

Although he only stops her temporarily, Giles' return is a moment of pure badassery that tops any other single scene in this action-packed season finale. It's tense, it's emotional, and it lets us see the darker side of good Giles - not the hellraising Ripper, but the man with a conscience and the weight of the world on his shoulders, who suffocated Ben (the god Glory's vessel) to death in the previous season's final episode and now must bring down one of his own.
