Memorable Moments:

  • Disgusted vampire passing on slayer-snackage due to the Doublemeat smell.
  • Willow's gleeful teehee that she's not the one going through all the wedding stress with Xander.
  • Buffy's utter confusion at Riley's appearance (were you always this tall?)
  • Dawns cold Riley reception, and her grudging but sincere send off at the end.
  • Buffy demanding that Spike tell her he loves her; the look on his face as he does; his tearful declaration that all she's ever done is play him when his egg-scheme is found out.
  • Riley's final reconciliation with Buffy.
  • Buffy's "I'm sorry, William" as she breaks it off with Spike.
