Vision Quest

Giles

Giles took Buffy on a sacred ‘Vision Quest’ after the death of her mother, in order for the Slayer to find the answers to some of her many questions about herself (Intervention). Giles drove Buffy to the desert, where he performed a traditional dance using a magic gourd to transfer his power over Buffy to a guide, who led the Slayer away on her own. Buffy encountered the First Slayer who told her that death was her gift, a piece of information that led to Buffy sacrificing herself in The Gift.
Giles took the potential Slayers on a vision quest in the episode The Killer in Me, which was less of a sacred quest and more of a camping trip. There are references to the first vision quest in that episode, including Giles’s line, “apparently, someone told them that the vision quest consists of me driving them to the desert, doing the hokey pokey until a spooky Rasta-mama Slayer arrives and speaks to them in riddles”.
