Smashed aired for BTVS season 6, episode 9. Spike and Buffy fight, and prove that houses are not safe around them.

Chosen aired for BTVS season 7, episode 22. This was the series finale for BTVS. It was the 144th episode of BTVS.

This was the last appearance of many Buffyverse characters, including Buffy, Dawn, Xander, and Willow. As well as Giles, Faith, Anya, Kennedy, Rona, and Robin Wood.

Since ATS S4 had ended earlier in May, the only Buffyverse characters that would appear again would be those who are in ATS S5. (S5 would be the last season of ATS.)

Innocence aired for BTVS season 2, episode 14. Since the show moved from Monday to Tuesday night, they were able to air this two part set (Surprise and Innocence) on two consecutive nights.

A lot happens in this episode. A few highlights: A charismatic new character is introduced (Angelus evil Angel). Spike receives an intimate forehead kiss (launching Spangel). And Buffy introduces the evil Judge to a fun new present at the mall (a rocket launcher).

Judge: "You're a fool. No weapon forged can stop me." Buffy: "That was then." (raises the rocket launcher to her shoulder) "This is now."

(mod note: apologies for the low quality of the forehead kiss image, you get the idea. also you can click on the promo ad to see it full size without being cut off.)

(additional mod note: struck the mention of Angelus by name above and replaced it with evil Angel. as this herinsectreflection essay explains, evil Angel is still mostly referred to as Angel in the show. however evil Angel is presented and acted as a distinctly different character from "regular" Angel.)

Beauty and the Beasts aired for BTVS season 3, episode 4. For the first and last time, Buffy goes to therapy with a licensed professional. Buffy talks to Mr. Platt, the Sunnydale High school psychologist. Mr. Platt is played by Phill Lewis.
