Glory's Big Day is dawning as the walls between worlds shiver. Willow and Buffy take a dream walk for old times sake and remember that the real friends are the deaths we gifted along the way. The Buffy Boys are reshelving their traumas in S05E21 "The Weight of the World"

Key Buffy Bits from this episode include: 

  • Queer rage and the catharsis of staying alive

  • Heisenberg's Protagonist - the indelibility of doing good

  • Glory as, you guessed it, dark mirror of Buffy's emotional struggle

  • "And this is why I killed my sister"
