Summary

In one of Buffy’s most haunting episodes, Passion explores love’s shadow side. Angelus becomes a predator of intimacy, creeping into bedrooms, drawing Buffy as she sleeps, and leaving messages of death in his wake. Alan and Jarrod dissect Angel’s chilling voiceover, comparing its poetic meditation on passion to the writings of Plato, Aquinas, Nietzsche, and the Passion of the Christ. We discuss the voyeuristic camera work, Jenny’s redemptive arc, Willow’s grief, Giles’ fury, and the unbearable silence that follows one of the series’ most devastating losses. Also: floppy disks, Orb of Thessaly paperweights, and Joyce finally realizing something’s very wrong with her daughter’s love life.
