Buffy The Vampire Slayer: 20 Greatest Moments
3. Sending Angel To Hell
Buffy had to sacrifice a lot due to her duties as the Slayer, but easily her toughest moment came in Becoming: Part 2, the emotional finale to season two.
Though she was prepared to kill Angelus in order to stop the demon Acathla from unleashing hell on Earth, things get complicated when Angel gets his soul back. Though this should be a happy reunion, Buffy still needs to kill him in order to save the world. Cue a sword through his chest and a trip to hell.
It's a heartbreaking scene and, as the best example for emphasising the tragic side of Buffy's responsibility as the Slayer, one of the most iconic moments of the series for fans.
