Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy with a Santa hat on
The early days of supernatural drama Buffy the Vampire Slayer focused on Buffy’s high school years – while coming to terms with her fate as the Chosen One to battle the forces of evil. During its third season, with Buffy and the Scooby Gang nearing graduation, the show was nearing a crossroads where seeds of new storylines needed to be planted to ensure the show’s future. Thus, “Amends,” the tenth episode of Season 3, enters the picture.
Angel tries to prove to himself and his torturer that he’s a changed man. Thus, instead of falling into harming Buffy, he tries to expose himself to the sunlight of Christmas Day and finish his never-ending torment. Buffy tries – and fails – to talk him out of it, but an out-of-nowhere snowstorm ends up preventing Angel’s death. The inexplicability of the event proves once again Angel was sent back with a purpose that he hasn't fulfilled yet.
Buffy's Ultimate Villain Is Introduced in "Amends" Close Halfway through the episode, Giles discovers that Angel’s visions are not only that, but the embodiment of the First Evil — the darkest of forces that predates humans and demons — and has the ability to shapeshift. Thus, this explains why it can take the form of several of Angel's past victims, particularly Giles’s former lover Jenny Calendar .
But the strong acting skills of the episode were not only for the show’s main couple. Although Willow’s sexuality storyline was still far away at this point, Hannigan’s ability to portray her insecurity bridges the way there. Knowing Willow was really attracted to women adds a layer to her reticence. Contrary to what ended up happening to his character, in this episode, Green’s Oz is able to convey comprehension and empathy for Willow.
