15 Most Important Buffy The Vampire Slayer Episodes
1. Chosen (Season 7, Episode 22)
The final episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer changed the very fabric of the franchise, and ended the show on an undeniably satisfying high. Not only does it see the death of murderous misogynist Caleb, but the Battle of Sunnydale, in which Buffy leads the Potential Slayers against the First Evil's vast vampire army.
During the battle, Willow uses her magic to give every Potential in the world the powers of a full-fledged Slayer, and Spike proves to be a vampire champion and bona fide hero when he gives his life to destroy the First's army and the entirety of Sunnydale.
Angel's fifth season features the return of Spike, who continues to prove himself as a hero as he atones for his sins, and takes a look at a world where there is more than one Slayer. Chosen is an epic conclusion to a masterful show, full of great character pay-offs and a brilliant twist that fully captures the show's themes of heroism, empowerment and sacrifice.
