Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Every Season 2 Episode Ranked
1. Passion
Passion is the best episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's second season, an eerie blend of horror, heartbreak, and violence that the show rarely surpasses.
Bookended by a menacing monologue by Angelus, the episode follows Jenny as she learns of a spell that can save his soul, only to be brutally killed before she can tell anyone about it. Her body's left for Giles to find in bed, and Angelus revels in the pain he's caused.
A perfect episode that highlights how daring and unpredictable a show Buffy can be at its best, Passion will knock the wind out of you no matter how many times you watch it. After Surprise, it truly cemented Buffy as a great show, and it would get bolder from here.
