Buffy: Postrach wampirów Passion (1996–2003) watch online HD

This is a episode that changes the entire series. Up until this point, Angelus has mostly he's been wandering around Sunnydale, taunting Buffy and playing in mind games. In "Passion" he decides to up the stakes. Jenny Calander is working to restore Angel's soul and Angelus isn't going to put up with that. He immediately sets out to stop Jenny's plan and, in doing so, changes the entire make-up of the show. This is one of the most important episodes of the season. It's ramifications go straight through the rest of the series. (Especially, in the way that Giles feels about Angel.) You can't skip this episode. It's a dark and tragic story that is vital for understanding the rest of season.

"Passion" revolves around Jenny Calander's continuing attempts to win back Giles' love. In an effort to make things up to him, she decides to try and restore Angel's soul with an Orb of Thesila. (Which are crystal ball things that can capture souls from the ether, and are often used in the Buffyverse as paperweights.) She wants to re-curse him, so he'll go back to being sweet, broody, Angel and not psycho killer Angelus. It's actually a pretty good idea. Unfortunately, Drusilla is psychic. When Dru "sees" Jenny plan, she and Angelus move to stop her. Meanwhile, The Scoobie's are finally starting to see Angelus as a genuine threat to their safety. Since Willow and Buffy invited Angel into their homes before he went evil, Angelus can just enter their bedrooms. (He also can enter Cordy's car, a fact that causes her to panic and hang garlic from her rear view mirror.) While Buffy and Willow work on a de-invite spell, Angelus pays Joyce a visit and gleefully tells her that he and Buffy made love. Joyce confronts Buffy, while Angelus heads for the school.

Jenny is working late on Angel's cure when Angelus arrives. He quickly destroys her computer, printouts and the Orb of Thesila. Then he goes after Jenny herself. He chases her through the school and, at the top of the stairs, brutally snaps her neck. Jenny and Giles had a date for that night. When Giles arrives home he finds Jenny's dead body laying in his bed. After a quick call to Buffy, Gile's gathers his "good weapons" and goes to the factory to kill Angelus. Spike, meanwhile, is horrified by what Angelus has done. He feels that it will just make Buffy furious and bring her down on them. In fact, Spike is growing more convinced that Angelus is out of control. When Giles arrives and attacks Angelus, Spike pulls Dru back and won't let her enter the fight. Angelus beats Giles fairly quickly, but then Buffy shows up to get Giles to safety. The factory burns down, Jenny is buried and it seems as if all hope for getting Angel back is lost. But, maybe Jenny's spell wasn't completely destroyed after all...

There's a lot to like about this episode. I love Willow's face when she sees what Angelus did to her fish. The time it must've taken him to catch them out of the aquarium and string them all on that thread... The boy needs a new hobby. And you just have to laugh when Cordy announces that she's traded cars with her grandmother. Also, the end of the episode is brilliant. While the factory burns, Buffy and Giles collapse into sobs. It's a beautiful scene. Mostly, though, I love Angelus. The smirk he wears as he watches Buffy, Willow and Joyce react to Miss Calander's death is just wonderfully evil. The voice over, as he talks about passion, is perfect. And he really does kill Jenny. It's shock value may have lessened a bit, as we know that he's on five seasons of "Angel" and another season of BTVS, but having the hero of the show brutally murder a woman is a REALLY gutsy story line. We knew Jenny, we liked her and Angelus snapped her neck on screen. Wow.

A few small complaints about the episode. Do you have to invite a vampire into a car? I'm not sure that's ever been mentioned before. Spike seems to have no trouble stealing that RV in season five's "Spiral" and I'm betting nobody invited him to do it. Along those same lines, Angelus doesn't need to be invited into Sunnydale High, either. Jenny asks how he got in, which doesn't make a lot of sense. Not only is the school a public building, he's also been there many times before. Granted it's a bit nit-picky, but it's all I've got.

My favorite part of the episode: Spike and Little Miss Sunshine. Dru comes in, cuddling a puppy that she's stolen from one of her victims. She doesn't want to keep the dog, she just wants Spike to eat it for dinner. He refuses, angered that she keeps babying him. About that time, Angelus arrives. Spike and Angelus immediately begin arguing, the two of them glaring at each other furiously as they fight. Drusilla, enjoying the chaos, casually drops Little Miss Sunshine into Spike's lap. --Now, this is the cool part.-- Never taking his eyes from Angelus, Spike moves him arm so the puppy won't fall off the wheelchair. In "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," we learned that Angelus used to nail puppies to things as valentines. Spike, in his soul-less state, automatically protects Little Miss Sunshine. He doesn't want the puppy hurt. He's not even thinking about it, it's a unconscious gesture that speaks volumes. Spike without a soul, is a much nicer vampire than Angel without a soul. It's one of the first glimpses of the gentler Spike underneath his evil facade.

This is the greatest episode of Buffy I have seen so far. The plot of the episode is intriguing, compelling, and so interesting that I don't think I can ever forget it. Also, for once, the actors don't over-act and actually portray the emotions that the characters would feel with complete honesty. Alyson Hannigan is the best actress of the show. She gives an excellent performance in this episode demonstrating the simple charm that makes her characters on TV/in movies so likable. Sarah Michelle Gellar, who I think is an average actress at best, gives a surprisingly deep performance. I also appreciate the character development of the characters Buffy, Giles, Angel, Spike, and Cordelia from the pilot up until this episode.

The tone of the episode is also something quite worthy of admiration. The plot developed so wonderfully and remained intact the entire episode. I usually feel that episodes of Buffy have great premises but carelessness ruins them. The plots are usually either fallacious, underdeveloped, stretched, or ruined in some other way (whether it's with minor mistakes or gigantic plot holes). However, this episode did not have much of that - or any that I can think of. The tone is delectably exhilarating and so appropriate to the plot. The music adds to this tone and makes the episode even more amazing.

This is not an episode of Buffy to miss. It is one of the greatest, and I'm sure as I progress through the show I won't change my opinion about this episode being among the canon.

This is the episode that changes Buffy and the scooby gang forever. It shows them dealing with their first loss, Jenny. The emotion in this episode is so strong that it makes you feel you are there with the characters experiencing it. This episode is the turning point for the rest of the series. It shows us how dark the show can get and how unpredictable it can be. The episode deals with Jenny trying to restore Angel's soul and get him back to his old self but she pays for it with her life. The way Giles finds Jenny's dead body on the bed is the most disturbing and breathtaking scene you will see in the early episodes of Buffy. This episode doesn't just change the show, it changes the characters and shows them that sometimes the bad guys do indeed win. The episode is emotional and if your a sucker for a love story you might just shed a tear. This episode is tense, shocking, unpredictable, heartbreaking, disturbing and very well directed/written. This is easily one of my favourite episodes and it leaves you with a huge cliffhanger that will stay unanswered for several episodes after. This is such an amazing episode and i love it so much. I am currently re-watching the series because it has been a while for most of the episodes and after watching this episode (then immediately reviewing it on here) i can say it is one of the episodes i can define as 'unique and incredible.'

Passion

The Good; Angelus's lyrical narration. Buffy and Joyce having 'The Talk' (you imagine one day Buffy will do the same with Dawn?). Jenny and Angelus' confrontation at the school. Buffy saving Giles at the factory. The twist in the tail.

The Bad; It seems rather stupid that Buffy simply warns Joyce to keep away from Angelus, because that's going to keep her safe? In the past we're told that Angelus drove Dru mad by killing everyone she loved and nailing puppies to stuff. Here he just tells Joyce that he and Buffy had sex, doesn't even do it nastily. Although Will's fish aren't nice.

Best line; Any and all of Angelus' narration. Plus Spike stopping Dru from helping Angelus "Not fair if he doesn't tag you"

Character death-1 (Jenny the 3rd recurring character to die)

Bondage-0

Knocked out-yep, Giles again

Shot-0

Women good/men bad-0

Kinky-dinky; Angelus/Spike/Dru

Questions and observations; Wonderful scene where Jonathon and friend actually come into the library to borrow some books (reminiscent of the opening scene in Friends where they turn up at Central Perk only to find the couch taken for once). Surely Angelus doesn't need an invitation to enter a public area like a school? Or has Jenny done a spell to keep him out and the school motto meant it didn't work. Equally does the invitation rule apply to cars? Presumably Angel has also been to Giles' house in order to put Jenny's body in Giles' bed. We must assume Giles and Jenny have had sex before if she has a key to his place and he's not surprised to find her in his bedroom. Once again, roses don't seem to repel vamps in the Buffyverse. Does Joyce not question why the 40+ school librarian keeps popping around the house to see her teenage daughter? Willow collapsing into Joyce's arms is a sign of how close Joyce has become to the rest of the Scoobs.

Jenny is the 3rd recurring character to die, making it one every 10 eps or so, the shock and brutality of him killing her is awful. Giles knocked out again. Willow's dad is called Ira and he seems quite strictly Jewish. Willow says she's his only daughter, what about sons? I was always surprised fanficcers didn't make more of Buffy and Willow's sleepover after Willow finds her fish? If you can restore Angel's soul why not do that to all vamps? Although Buffy the Vampire Resouler is probably not such a good series.

10/10, running out of superlatives here

After the jollity of the previous episode things turn much darker. Angel is starting to play cruel games with Buffy and her friends. At first it is just rather creepy as he sneaks in to Buffy's bedroom and leaves a picture of her sleeping. Things escalate though; first he kills Willow's fish then he hints that Buffy's mother is in his sights. Meanwhile Jenny is working on finding a way to give Angel his soul back… whether he wants it or not. Unfortunately for her Drusilla feels that something is wrong and discovers what Jenny is doing. When she is confronted by Angel the outcome can only be a tragedy.

This is a really great episode; major characters have often been threatened and been in positions of real danger but here there is nobody to come to the rescue when Angel goes after Jenny. Her death was possibly the most shocking moment in the series to date; if she can die who might be next? Up until now it looked as though Buffy and her friends would be trying to save Angel but now he has crossed the line and they are clearly planning to kill him… of course by now most viewers will know how his plot arc works out but when it first aired it was far from certain. The final moment does hint at a possible salvation or it could be showing us that it has been lost. While the episode is definitely downbeat there are moments to cheer; most notably when Giles attacks Angel. The cast are on fine form; Robia LaMorte has performed well as Jenny and I'll certainly miss her character. Anthony Head stands out as Giles; the scene where he gets home expecting a romantic evening with Jenny then learns the terrible truth was brilliantly acted; the audience can feel his pain. The rest of the cast are on top for too.

Because of the way Angelus, who enjoys taunting Spike at the Hellmouth but above all his scorned lover, once took revenge on Drusilla's family, Buffy fears a similar fate for her ma Joyce Summers, but may not tell her the truth. Gypsy Jenny hopes to redeem her deceit of Buffy and Giles by attempting to translate the Gypsy curse in Rumanian on a vessel fit for soul transfer, hoping to restore to Angelus his human soul and thus transform him back into loving, suffering Angel, but he is ahead of her as Giles finds to his personal grief as the gang loses a member and finds he took off for revenge on his own...Now We All Know Buffy But In Season 2 For Those Non-Fans Angel Was Buffy's Boyfriend From The Episode "Angel" To "Innocence" Because With Angel's Gypsie Curse As The Plot Synopsis Will Tell You Gives Him Back His Soul But What You Might Not Now Is That If He Is Given A Moment Of Happiness He Becomes The Sinister, Smart, Sadistic Animal Angelus.

For Buffy This Episode Is As Dark As You Can Get For The Early Years Of BtVS. Jenny Calendar Was A Member Of The Team From The Episode "I, Robot You, Jane" & She Was Trying To Gain Giles & Buffy's Trust But Instead She Got A Snapped Neck From Angelus. This Is One Of The Reasons Why I Like This Episode...Not Because Of Jenny's Death But Because In All The Previous Episodes Of Buffy Angelus Does Nothing But Taunt Buffy.

The "Passion" Narration Is Also One Of My Favourite Parts Because Its Well Written & Its Sort Of True. Now The Only Problem I Have With This Episode Is That Minutes Before Jenny Kicks The Bucket She Asks Angelus How He Got In The School When Its A Public Building. This Episode Focuses On Human Emotions Like Revenge, Anger, Fear(Because Of Angelus Going Into Buffy's Room Every Night Drawing Pictures Of Her) & Sadness Because Of The Tragedy Of Jenny's Death From Both Buffy & Giles...& Willow...& Xander(For The Rest Of The Episodes Until Becoming Part 2).

Everyone has their favorite episode, people mainly seem to choose Hush or Once More, With Feeling. However for me, Season 2's Passion is the highlight of the series. It's dark, it's unfair, it's probably the first time i realized Buffy could be a show more than just a teenage girl who fights vampires. This is really the first major death for the show and boy is it handled well. The character in question is Jenny Calendar, the only true love interest for Giles. This episode keeps on moving and doesn't seem to slow down. It was nice to see Giles attempt revenge, something so uncharacteristic for Giles. This episode is fantastic and definitely worth the watch.

Passion is what drives us in many ways even though Angelus hates Buffy or Giles going after the vampires responsible for Jenny's death and Buffy still living her man show we all handle it differently. You become consumed to reach your goals no matter the obstacle or danger involved. Its also filled with horror as Jenny tries to restore Angel's soul only for him to crash the school chasing her down the halls and running up the stairs to flee the creature from hell. Another good scene was Giles walking up the stairs thinking of the romantic night planned for his lady fair only to find her twisted body on the bed which is the stuff of nightmares.

It was very dramatic as Giles loses the love of his life and Buffy fears losing her father figure out of his mind due to grief. Both have lost someone close to them yet they are left behind to deal with the sad lonely night and squashed futures.

I love this episode. It's a fantastic episode. I was sad to see Jenny die, but the way they did it was so perfect for the series. To show where series had come from to where it was now.

In this episode, since Angel has returned to being Angelus, Buffy worries about her Mother, as Angelus once took revenge on Drusilla's family, by killing them all, obviously. Jenny still hopes to redeem herself in the eyes of Giles and Buffy by reinstating the curse upon Angel. When she is close to achieving this, Angelus comes into the school, kills her, and then props her up in Giles' apartment, to torture him.

Last appearance of: Jenny Calendar, when she was alive, that is.

Best part of the episode: Angelus's twisted way of killing Jenny.

Worst part of the episode: When everyone discovers that Jenny is dead.

Overall, I give this episode an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.
