28 Years Ago Today, This Buffy Death Shocked Us All & Set Up the Show’s Best Season Finale

The second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is when the show really hit its stride, largely thanks to the dramatic change in the character of Angel, who became the villainous Angelus. He’s considered one of the show’s best villains, and the latter part of the season focuses on his cruel manipulation of Buffy. This culminates in Episode 17, “Passion,” where his psychological torment of her reaches a devastating peak with the shocking death of Jenny Calendar.
