Buffy The Vampire Slayer: 10 Great Moments In Mediocre Episodes
3. Xander And Willow Have A Cute Conversation (Season 2, Episode 1)
The opening episode of Season 2 is a decent but dispensable episode that focuses on Buffy’s return to Sunnydale after the summer break. Whilst there is a cool fight sequence at the end, the best part of the episode is definitely the first scene.
Willow and Xander are enjoying a midnight stroll and are entertaining themselves by quoting lines from classic movies. Their friendly conversation soon takes on a romantic flavour when Xander teases Willow by bobbing the end of her nose with his ice cream. This is adorable enough, but the scene continues to up the cuteness when Xander wipes Willow’s nose and then leans in for a kiss.
Of course – being in the middle of Sunnydale – the two of them are interrupted by a vampire, and Buffy has to come to the rescue. But for a brief moment, Willow and Xander had the whole audience on tenterhooks as their true feelings blossomed before our eyes.
