Angel is being haunted by the First Evil who torments him with the memories of all the people, and accents, he has mercilessly butchered. Can Buffy talk him out of his pity party before the sun comes up? The Buffy Boys have a Very Slayer Christmas in S03E10 "Amends".
Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:
- Emotional Special Effects: Ethical story-telling in the use of traumatic plot points as character flavour
- The unavoidable Buffy-as-Christ imagery
- The Call is Coming from Inside the Queer - the monster as a surrogate for the marginalized viewer
- Laying the groundwork for Angel's spin-off redemption premise
- "Strong is fighting. It's hard and it's painful and it's every day"
