132. “Some Assembly Required” (Season 2, Episode 2)

Writer: Ty King
Director: Bruce Seth Green
Buffy takes on Frankenstein, and the results aren’t pretty. The basic concept – a high school kid building the perfect girlfriend for his dead brother – is creepy enough. The execution, on the other hand, is scary in the bad way. One bright spot: Angel is jealous of Xander, and it’s absurd.

104. “Bargaining” (Season 6, Episodes 1 and 2)

Writers: Marti Noxon (Part 1) and David Fury (Part 2)
Director: David Grossman
The good news is, Willow brings Buffy back to life. The bad news is, there are demon bikers. There’s a lot that works – Buffy’s confusion over her new state and the Buffybot’s attempts at humor – but there’s really a lot that doesn’t. Seriously, those demon bikers. Why?

86. “I Was Made to Love You” (Season 5, Episode 15)

Writer: Jane Espenson
Director: James A. Contner
“I Was Made to Love You” feels standalone but actually sets up a lot: Warren, Warren’s misogyny, the Buffybot. Maybe that’s why it feels more interesting than it really is – or it could be the knowledge that the role of April was offered to Britney Spears. Either way, the final scene of Buffy discovering Joyce dead is a gut punch.

35. “Intervention” (Season 5, Episode 18)

Writer: Jane Espenson
Director: Michael Gershman
Yes, it’s completely f***ed-up that Spike has a sex robot modeled after Buffy. But the Buffybot is so delightful, you almost forget how gross it is. See also: the Scoobies’ intervention when they think the real Buffy is banging Spike. (Not yet!) Here’s another hilarious episode with a poignant final scene.

5. “The Gift” (Season 5, Episode 22)

Writer: Joss Whedon
Director: Joss Whedon
“The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.” Commence bawling. Buffy’s death, long foreshadowed, is still almost unbearable. That she dies saving the world – and saving Dawn – is a small consolation. But that final scene is devastating, particularly the look on Willow’s face and Spike, racked with sobs.
