As Buffy faces heartbreak and graduations looming apocalypse, she’s determined to hold on to one last piece of normalcy, prom night. But when a pack of hellhounds is directed to crash the party, Buffy steps in to protect her classmates giving everyone the perfect night she may never get for herself.

Right back where we started. We return to Prom for a second time and talk about what it was like watching this episode back in our pre-podcast days versus how it lands now after experiencing everything leading up to it. The shift is real. We sit with the heaviness of Buffy and Angel breaking up for good and the final layer of acceptance that comes with it. We talk about Buffy finally receiving her special moment and how that recognition reaches all the way back to season one’s core themes. We still joke about the hell hounds, but this watch carries a whole different emotional truth. Get your formal attire ready and maybe bring tissues because Prom remains one of the most meaningful chapters in Buffy history. 

How do you all feel about Buffy finally getting a night that’s just for her? Do you think Angel made the right decision walking away, or do you wish he’d stayed to face what’s next? And how did you feel watching the class finally recognize Buffy as their protector.. did it hit you as hard as it did for us?
