Buffy season 2 is just such a Rollercoaster of emotions (mostly in terms of Bangel)

First, we're like will they get together? Then they get together and we be like "YESS".

But then Spike tries to kill both of them and then there is this really emotional, heavy scene where they say they love each other and then Buffy says she's ready and they sleep together.

But then Angel (read: Angelus) wakes up and then starts killing people. Now Buffy and gang is confused and so is the audience. (I'm not sure about the timeline it's been long since I watched the show)

He starts killing people and his cruelty towards Buffy is just shocking cause aNgEL aCtiNG LiKe tHaT tOwaRDs bUfFy?!?!?!

Then you see Buffy suffering because this is the first time she slept with somebody and then he started killing randomly. We see her, we feel her.

(this is touched upon in season 4 again which is why this show is one of the best! The details people! DETAILS!)

Then we get to know about Angelus's curse. Now I felt bad but it made sense. Angelus was cruel. He was cursed with a soul and if he experienced a moment of true happiness then he would lose his soul. Then he spends the next 100 years as Angel trying to atone for his sins (I guess?). But the one moment he found happiness and it broke him

I don't know when this episode aired "I only have eyes for you"

But you have Buffy as James (best plot twist ever) and saying "You don't just wake up and stop loving somebody!" Which is literally what happened with Angel

And THEN he kills Jenny. Buffy realizes she HAS to kill him. (That episode was heartbreaking and also so twisted. Angelus is one kind of a villain!)

Then she has problems. Her mom found out about her slayerness, her friends were in danger, Giles was being tortured by Angelus, she has to team up with Spike to save the world because Angelus wanted to release hell (or something) AND she got kicked out of school.

Now she goes to kill Angelus and stop hell (cause that's her job as a slayer) and she gears up to fight. She's alone. She finds strength in herself and fights back and almost kills him but Willow decides to get Angel's soul back.

Now she's fucking torn because Angel doesn't remember anything but she has to kill him because killing him is the only way to stop hell. She takes a moment to herself and then kills him.

She leaves Sunnydale in the season finale.

This is the most emotionally tiring season yet I would watch it over and over BECAUSE OF the emotions portrayed. They don't make this kind of stuff now (maybe I haven't watched enough shows but there's a certain magic in this show which just can't be recreated)
