   Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel had plenty of crossover   
   episodes, both major and minor. Let's take a look at all of them.   
      
   BY JAMIE GERBER   
      
   Here is every crossover between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Joss   
   Whedon’s magnum opus starred Sarah Michelle Gellar as the titular slayer and   
   ran from 1997-2003. The popular series even spawned a spin-off centering on   
   Buffy’s former beau, Angel (David Boreanaz), the vampire with a soul seeking   
   redemption for his past sins. While Buffy the Vampire Slayer lasted seven   
   seasons and ended on its own terms, Angel was unceremoniously canceled   
   before season 5 had even concluded.   
      
   Beginning with Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 4, Angel aired immediately   
   after its parent show on The WB for two years. However, after Buffy’s death   
   at the end of season 5, the show switched networks, landing on UPN for its   
   remaining two seasons. Buffy and Angel formed an interconnected Buffyverse   
   from the beginning, with frequent crossovers occurring between the two   
   series. However, once the shows began airing on different channels and   
   separate nights, these events were few and far between. The networks did   
   loosen their restrictions for Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s final season, but   
   the timeline between the two shows by that point was definitely a bit off.   
      
   Although Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel can certainly be enjoyed   
   separately, they tell a far more complete story when viewed simultaneously.   
   Aside from the fact that certain Buffy characters became far more developed   
   on Angel, there are several plot points that carried over from one show to   
   the other. While some of these were more minor developments, others served   
   as major storylines.   
      
      
   The Harsh Light Of Day/In The Dark   
      
   Spike returned to Sunnydale in season 4, episode 3, “The Harsh Light of   
   Day”.   
   After gaining possession of the Gem of Amara, a ring that would render its   
   wearer invulnerable, the vampire went toe to toe with Buffy. She soundly   
   defeated him, choosing to pass the ring along to Angel. Oz, who had a gig in   
   L.A., agreed to deliver it. Spike followed Oz straight to Angel in season 1,   
   episode 3, “In the Dark”. As usual, Spike’s plan went up in flames   
   and—despite his attempts to torture the gem’s location out of Angel—the   
   vampire with a soul wound up with the prize in the end. However, Angel   
   destroyed the ring, feeling it offered a path to redemption that was all too   
   easy, and that its use would cause him to abandon those in need of his help   
   after dark.   
      
      
   The Bachelor Party/Pangs   
      
   Although Angel season 1, episode 7 largely has nothing to do with anything   
   happening over on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it does technically begin this   
   crossover. At episode’s end, Doyle had a vision of Buffy fighting for her   
   life. So, Angel headed to Sunnydale in season 4, episode 8, "Pangs". As is   
   his way, the vampire stuck to the shadows, though he inexplicably kept his   
   involvement secret from Buffy. Angel did help the Scoobies save the day, and   
   would’ve left with his ex none the wiser, had Xander not inadvertently let   
   his appearance slip during Thanksgiving dinner.   
      
      
   I Will Remember You   
      
   Taking place right after “Pangs”, Angel season 1, episode 8, “I Will   
   Remember You”, began with an understandably upset Buffy heading to L.A. to   
   confront Angel about his Thanksgiving visit. The talk didn’t go particularly   
   well, but an encounter with a Mohra demon changed everything by transforming   
   Angel into a human. This led to an extremely romantic kiss in broad   
   daylight, followed by the long-awaited reunion between Buffy and Angel. As   
   these are Joss Whedon shows, misery had to strike. Angel soon realized their   
   happiness came at the cost of innocent lives, possibly even Buffy's. He   
   convinced The Oracles to turn back time, allowing him to kill the demon   
   before its blood could mix with his own. In a gut-wrenching twist, while   
   Buffy would forget, Angel alone would remember the brief time they spent   
   together to ensure he wouldn’t repeat the day’s events. Their final embrace   
   before her memories are swallowed up is one of the Buffyverse’s more   
   heartbreaking moments.   
      
      
   Who Are You?/Five By Five   
      
   Fans knew that Faith (Eliza Dushku) would one day awaken from her coma,   
   which she did in Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 4, episode 15, “This   
   Year’s   
   Girl”. However, this crossover really began with the following installment,   
   “Who Are You?” Thanks to a posthumous helping hand from Mayor Wilkins,   
   Faith   
   was able to switch bodies with Buffy. This not only caused Buffy to wind up   
   in the clutches of angry operatives from the Watchers Council, but also   
   enabled Faith to wreak major havoc on Buffy’s life. She even slept with   
   Buffy's boyfriend, Riley, without him being any the wiser. Buffy managed to   
   escape the Council and reverse the body swap, but Faith escaped.   
      
   In Angel season 1, episode 18, “Five by Five”, it’s revealed that Faith   
   went   
   to L.A., where Wolfram & Hart enlisted her to kill Angel. After she   
   kidnapped and tortured Wesley, Faith and Angel engaged in a brutal battle,   
   in which her true intentions were revealed. As the realization dawned that   
   she wanted Angel to end her life, Faith unexpectedly broke down in his arms.   
      
      
   Sanctuary/The Yoko Factor   
      
   If there’s one thing Angel understands, it’s the battle for one’s soul,   
   and   
   he wasn’t going to let something petty like Faith’s attempt on his life get   
   in the way of him saving hers. Despite Faith’s unrelenting torture of   
   Wesley, that was Angel’s aim in season 1, episode 19, “Sanctuary”.   
   Matters   
   became more complicated when both Buffy and the Watchers Council showed up   
   looking for Faith. Buffy and Angel had an ugly fight over Faith’s fate and   
   Wesley proved his loyalty by betraying the Council, rather than Angel. The   
   end result was Faith turning herself in to the police of her own volition.   
   Angel wouldn’t forget about Faith, with the vampire later going to visit her   
   in the season 2 premiere.   
      
   Although Faith wound up in jail, Buffy and Angel were still pretty angry   
   with one another and they did not end their visit on good terms, to say the   
   least. Angel showed up in Sunnydale in season 4, episode 20, “The Yoko   
   Factor”. He and Buffy's new boyfriend Riley got along about as well as   
   expected, but the former couple did manage to sort things out between them
