This week we’re rewatching Prophecy Girl, the Season 1 finale where Buffy learns she’s destined to die at the Master’s hands — and still chooses to fight. We talk Sarah Michelle Gellar’s heartbreaking performance, Giles and Angel’s desperation, Buffy fully accepting her role as the Slayer, and why this episode finally feels like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We also debate the prophecy loophole, Xander’s CPR moment, Slayer power rules, Hellmouth logic, and those iconic one-liners.

💬 Do you think Buffy was stronger after coming back — or was the prophecy always meant to break?
