Throughout Season eight Buffy is hunted down by a supernatural, superhero-style villain who goes by the name Twilight. Across the series we discover that Twilight has loyal followers including some shocking revelations. Even some of the Slayer's allies are working with him to bring about the "Twilight" event and birth a new dimension.

Twilight was the sentient consciousness of the future dimension mentioned in a prophecy which had been known to the Watchers Council for a long time. The story was said to be almost as old as the Earth and had almost come to fruition multiple times in the past.

After multiple apocalyptic battles and near-death experiences at the hand of the villain whose powers include super strength and flight, his identity was revealed as Angel! According to the prophecy claimed that the Slayer would inherit god-like powers to match those of the villain Twilight.

To get her into the position, Angel, as Twilight, had to turn the world against the Slayer army, keep Buffy focused on him and manipulate her into the moment where they could engage in magic, flying sex which would take them into space and smash the walls of reality, thereby birthing Twilight.

Yes, season eight really did take things a bit too far.
