Buffy’s seven seasons had more heartrending moments than stakes at a Slayers convention, but here are 25 of the most heart-ripping, sob-inducing, gasp-worthy moments. SPOILERS ABOUND, so proceed with caution.
Buffy crowned Class Protector
Even Mean Girl Harmony clapped as Jonathan (played by Emmy and Academy Award winner Danny Strong) presented Buffy with a parasol, showing Buffy her peers did appreciate her. (Season 3, Episode 20, “Prom”)

Angelus kills Jenny Calendar and leaves her body for Giles to find
Repeating the cruelty that drove a then-human Drusilla to madness, Angelus murders Jenny and leaves her body as the centerpiece of a “romantic” tableau for Giles. Giles goes all Ripper on Angelus, Buffy saving him before Angelus can also kill Giles. (Season 2, Episode 17, “Passion”)
Drusilla murders Kendra
Kendra, activated as Slayer the first time Buffy died, was a loyal and fierce friend of the Scoobies, but was no match for Dru’s paralyzing mind games and razor-sharp fingernails. (Season 2, Episode 21, "Becoming, Part 1")
