[edit] Notes

[edit] Monster of the Week

• Tamogenesis: After reviving Buffy from the dead, the gang accidentally created a by-product in the form of a bodiless demon. When they asked for her back, the world allowed it but only with the condition that they take this demon as well. Unfortunately for the demon, its body was trapped between dimensions and its only chance for survival was through killing the person who was targeted by the spell in the first place (i.e. Buffy).

[edit] The Show

• Timeline: Spike has been counting the days since Buffy died. He tells her that she had been dead for 147 days.
• Afterlife: Several scenes imply that Buffy didn't go to Hell like Anya and Willow insinuated. In fact, it seems to be understood that the exact opposite occurred and she actually went to Heaven. In the cemetary before Dawn was possessed, Buffy stops in front of a gravestone that appears to give her angel wings. She later confides in Spike that she was happy and at peace in death because she knew everyone she loved was fine. She tells him that she thinks she was in Heaven but is now in Hell.

• Super Friends: Super Friends was a cartoon series based on superheroes from DC Comics, particularly the Justice League. It ran for several seasons in a variety of formats ranging from 7 minute shorts to hour long episodes before finally ending in the 1980s.

Spike: I was going to go inside, but I overheard you and the super-friends exchanging a special moment, and I came over a bit queasy.

[edit] Memorable Moments

• Spike dramatically explaining to Buffy how he dreams of saving her every night to make up for the one time he couldn't.
• Buffy confessing to Spike that she believes she was in Heaven and can't be happy now that she's been torn from it.

[edit] Quotes

• Spike: I do remember what I said. The promise. To protect her. If I'd have done that, even if I didn't make it, you wouldn't have had to jump. But I want you to know I did save you. Not when it counted, of course, but after that. Every night after that. I'd see it all again, and do something different. Faster, or more clever, you know? Dozens of times, lots of different ways. Every night, I save you.
