10 Buffy The Vampire Slayer Fates Worse Than Death

6. Turning Invisible Forever (Season 1, Episode 11)

Buffy Season 1 Marcie
Fox

The penultimate story of Season 1 centres on an invisible force inside Sunnydale High. Said force kicks off proceedings by beating up Cordelia’s boyfriend with a baseball bat and then continues to cause havoc throughout the episode.

It turns out this invisible being is actually Marcie Ross, a girl who no one ever took any notice of. Giles theorises that Marcie turned invisible because of the Hellmouth manipulating reality on a quantum level. Whatever the explanation, it’s hard to feel too sorry for Marcie due to her villainous activity.

Still, she's stuck like this forever, and being invisible for the remainder of your life would be a morbid experience. Even though she’s given a job with the FBI at the end of the episode, the rest of Marcie’s life is essentially ruined from this point on.
