A Dating Story Episode Guide: Navigating Buffy & Angel’s Crossover Romance

It’s a truth universally acknowledged: if you haven’t watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you’ve missed out on a cornerstone of modern television. And while Angel, the spin-off focusing on Buffy’s brooding vampire boyfriend, may not have garnered the same widespread acclaim, it holds its own, delivering moments of brilliance across its five seasons.

The magic of these two shows lies not just in their individual storylines, but in the interconnectedness of their narratives. Characters move between Sunnydale and Los Angeles, plot threads intertwine, and the romantic tension between Buffy and Angel simmers across both series. Binge-watching can blur these connections, stripping away the intended viewing experience. This comprehensive guide, A Dating Story Episode Guide, helps you navigate the Buffy/Angel universe, highlighting essential episodes and the best way to watch them in relation to each other. Forget aimless streaming; experience the Buffyverse as it was meant to be seen.


BUFFY SEASON ONE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Season one is about finding its feet, but sets the stage. Key to understand the relationship between Buffy and Angel.

  1. “Welcome to the Hellmouth”: Watch it. Pilot episodes are essential, setting the foundation.

  2. “The Harvest”: Watch it. This two-parter is the conclusion to the series premiere, essential setup.

  3. “The Witch”: Watch it. A solid early episode that introduces a recurring character who will later prove to be significant.

  4. “Teacher’s Pet”: Skip it. While Xander is a beloved character, this episode isn’t his finest.

  5. “Never Kill A Boy on the First Date”: Skip it. The minimal plot advancements aren’t worth the watch time.

  6. “The Pack”: Watch it. This episode is a worthwhile Xander story due to its slightly darker tone.

  7. “Angel”: Watch it. Crucial viewing, setting the stage for Buffy and Angel’s relationship.

  1. “I, Robot… You, Jane”: Skip it. Buffy‘s early struggles with portraying technology make this skippable.

  2. “The Puppet Show”: Skip it. Armin Shimmerman’s first appearance is delightful, but the episode overall isn’t essential.

  3. “Nightmares”: Skip it. Many find this episode difficult to finish.

  4. “Out of Sight, Out of Mind”: Watch it. Though standalone and somewhat silly, it’s a favorite for some.

  5. “Prophecy Girl”: Watch it. The season finale and a key turning point.

Season two ups the stakes, leading to emotional turmoil in Buffy’s dating life.

  1. “When She Was Bad”: Watch it. Deals with the aftermath of the season one finale, providing closure.

  1. “Ted”: Maybe watch it. Standalone with John Ritter’s performance, a matter of preference.

  1. “Phases”: Watch it. Sets up something important for a key character, lighter adventure after “Innocence”.

  3. “Passion”: Watch it. Mythology episode with important plot developments, super sad.
