   10 Most Satisfying Buffy The Vampire Slayer Moments   
      
   These are the moments that Buffy fans love to watch over and over again...   
      
   BY JACOB WILKINS   
       
   There are many standout moments in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The show taps   
   into the audience’s emotions on multiple levels, causing us to laugh, cry,   
   and scream throughout the gang’s adventures in Sunnydale.   
      
   Above all, it’s the relatability of the characters that makes us care so   
   deeply about the story. Buffy, despite her supernatural abilities, is a flawed   
   heroine with plenty of insecurities, and there are many other characters who   
   are also relatable and    
   nuanced.   
      
   Given this high level of emotional investment, there are a fair number of   
   satisfying moments throughout the show’s seven seasons. Many of these   
   moments involve Buffy taking down a particularly powerful and fiendish   
   villain. But there are also several    
   satisfying moments with a warmer, more intimate tone that don’t involve a   
   furious fight to the death.   
      
   Reinforced by some stellar performances from the cast, these moments   
   demonstrate the remarkable talents of the Buffy writers. Together, they   
   created a brilliant set of characters and combined them with some sizzling   
   plot threads to create an impressive    
   roster of moments that are always satisfying, regardless of how many times you   
   watch them.   
      
   10. Buffy Kills The Master (Season 1, Episode 12)   
      
   In the final episode of Season 1, Buffy stares death in the face when she   
   heads down below, and just like the prophecy foretold, she dies at the hands   
   of the Master. But she’s soon resuscitated by Xander and gets back on her   
   feet, determined to finish    
   the fight.   
      
   Whilst the final battle is pretty simple when compared with the other finales,   
   it certainly isn’t disappointing. After a brief fistfight and a couple of   
   cheesy one-liners, Buffy kills the Master by throwing him through the   
   library’s glass ceiling    
   onto a giant piece of wood. From a visual standpoint, it’s always great to   
   watch the Master’s final fall, but this isn’t the only thing that makes   
   this scene so satisfying.   
      
   Throughout the first season, Buffy struggles with her destiny, pushing back   
   against Giles’s demands. By coming back from the dead and taking down her   
   first Big Bad, Buffy has learnt to accept her destiny, and this is the perfect   
   set-up for the next    
   season.   
      
      
   9. Giles Frightens Professor Walsh (Season 4, Episode 12)   
      
   Buffy and the gang head off to college in Season 4. As well as facing a fresh   
   batch of demons, they also have to contend with the challenges of higher   
   education, including Professor Walsh, a psychology tutor who plays a prominent   
   role in the Initiative.   
      
   The professor is an irritating woman with a condescending attitude. She even   
   treats Willow with disdain when she’s upset about Oz. And as for Giles, he   
   also takes a dislike to the professor when she tells him Buffy doesn’t have   
   a father figure in her    
   life.   
      
   Later on, Giles transforms into a Fyarl Demon, and though this is a pretty   
   grim experience for him, he does enjoy a healthy bit of revenge. When driving   
   through the streets of Sunnydale with Spike, Giles notices the professor   
   walking home, and he decides    
   to get out of the car and chase after her, roaring like a madman.   
      
   Aside from being one of the most hilarious moments in the entire show, this   
   scene is loaded with satisfaction. It’s wonderful to see the professor get   
   her comeuppance for being such a nasty piece of work, and her hysterical   
   screams make the whole scene    
   even more satisfying.   
      
      
   8. Buffy Takes Down Caleb (Season 7, Episode 21 And 22)   
      
   In the eighteenth episode of Season 7, we’re introduced to Caleb, a   
   misogynistic priest who’s in cahoots with the First Evil. Using his advanced   
   strength, Caleb murders several Potential Slayers when our heroes infiltrate   
   the vineyard.   
      
   He continues to terrorise the gang throughout the rest of the season, and no   
   one – not even Buffy – is capable of taking him down… at least until she   
   gets her hands on the Scythe. Using this legendary weapon, the Slayer battles   
   against the priest    
   at the end of the penultimate episode, and – with some help from Angel –   
   she emerges victorious.   
      
   But the battle isn't over yet. At the start of the season finale, Caleb gets   
   back to his feet but ends up being sliced in half with the Scythe. It’s a   
   brutal end for a despicable character, and one of the most triumphant moments   
   in the show. No matter    
   how many times you rewatch this scene, it never fails to be satisfying.   
      
      
   7. Cordelia Abandons The Cordettes (Season 2, Episode 16)   
      
   Cordelia isn’t a particularly likeable character at first. She’s   
   condescending, rude, loud, and full of her own self-importance. Alongside her   
   irritable entourage – the Cordettes – she struts around Sunnydale High and   
   annoys everyone she meets.   
      
   Thankfully, Cordelia becomes more bearable as time goes on, and in   
   ‘Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered’, she finally breaks it off with her   
   toxic friends and attacks Harmony when she insults Xander:   
      
   “Do you know what you are, Harmony? You’re a sheep…And here I am   
   scrambling for your approval when I’m way cooler than you are…I do what I   
   wanna do, and I wear what I wanna wear, and…I’ll date whoever the hell I   
   wanna date!”   
      
   Whilst Cordelia’s relationship with Xander doesn’t work out in the end,   
   it’s still great to see her turn against the Cordettes, especially Harmony,   
   who is probably the most irritating person in the entire school.
