In the season one finale, the prophecies of Aurelius hinted at throughout the season come into fruition. The subplot with Xander's crush on Buffy comes to a fruition too when she turns him down. Jenny talks with Giles about what's coming, and then Buffy enters as Angel is speaking with Giles about how the PergamumCodex? predicts Buffy dies at the hands of TheMaster. She threatens to quit. Giles decides to take her place but Buffy changes her mind and knocks him out to keep him from going on the suicide mission. Xander and Angel end up following Buffy as backup, but TheMaster does kill Buffy and leave her face down in a puddle of water. Xander gives Buffy CPR, bringing her back to life. Buffy kills TheMaster in the library with Willow, Jenny, Giles and Cordy in the same room. Then it's off to the Bronze to celebrate.
