   Despite the portal’s slow nature, Angelus’ plan would have worked if it had   
   gone undetected. While the threat itself resulted in no harm to the world,   
   the personal suffering and consequences experienced by Buffy and Angel make   
   this one for the books.   
      
   Within minutes of deciding to end the world, Willow was at Kingman’s Bluff   
   unearthing Proserpexa's effigy. Fueled by her grief over Tara’s death and,   
   thanks to Giles, her connection to humanity's suffering, Willow planned to   
   burn the world to a cinder. Any real threat to this plan was already taken   
   out of commission, including Buffy and Giles. Xander was the one who saved   
   the day, demonstrating how close the world truly was to being finished.   
      
   Willow’s plan, though spontaneous, was direct and, barring Xander,   
   efficient. In fact, part of the reason Willow would have been successful is   
   that her decision to destroy the world was so quick. The Scoobies weren’t   
   expecting it and had little reaction time.

   Glory Tries To Go Home Causing Dimensions To Bleed Together   
      
   When it comes to apocalypses, the hell god Glorificus is the one to beat.   
   After being expelled from her dimension, Glory was reborn in a human body.   
   To get home, she needed to open a portal by sacrificing the key, which had   
   been transformed into Buffy’s sister, Dawn. However, opening this portal   
   would cause all dimensions to bleed together, destroying Earth, until the   
   key died.   
      
   Glory eventually captured Dawn and the ritual started. The portal opened and   
   an apocalypse that would have swiftly ended the entire world started. No   
   foreseeable force could have stopped it. Realizing Dawn’s blood—and   
   therefore her own—could close the portal, Buffy sacrificed herself. This put   
   a blunt end to the apocalypse, which had already caused more damage than any   
   before it.
