Vampiiritapja Buffy Surprise (1996–2003) Online

While the gang is encouraged by Giles to prepare a surprise party for Buffy's 17th birthday, she has nightmares about Angel, who tries to reassure her, being vanished by Drusilla, who has indeed survived the fire with Spike and is preparing a revenge 'party'. They find out the hard way, by finding one of the severed armored body parts of the Judge, a terrible demon who can not be killed by any weapon,designed to destroy all righteous people, no evil creatures, which the Hell-mouth side is reassembling...

In giving Buffy a Claddagh ring, and remarking that it is a tradition of his people, suggests Angel is originally from Ireland.

Mercedes McNab appeared as Harmony Kendall in this episode, however due to time constraints and the focus on the Buffy/Angel and the Spike/Drusilla/Judge story lines her scenes were cut out.

Brian Thompson plays "The Judge". In the first two episodes of the series, he played the vampire "Luke".

This scene was cut for length:

• Jenny: "I guess it makes sense. I mean, all of Buffy's senses are heightened. Why should her intuition be different?"
• Giles: "Precisely. It's not unheard-of for the Slayer to start having prophetic dreams and visions as she approaches adulthood."
• Jenny: "Adulthood? Buffy's seventeen tomorrow, Giles. Don't rush her."
• Giles: "I'm not the one rushing her. While I loathe to say it, the fact is, the Slayer rarely lives into her mid-twenties. It follows that she'd exhibit signs of maturity early on. Her whole life cycle is accelerated."
• Jenny: "Still, you should be careful about treating her like a grown-up. Like-this thing with Angel. Have you even talked to her about it?"
• Giles: "I...I suppose I try not to pry."
• Jenny: "Maybe you should, a little. The way she talks, it's clear she has intense feelings for him."
• Giles: "Well, yes. They're friends..."
• Jenny: "They're more than friends, and you know it."
• Giles: "I'm not her father, Jenny."
• Jenny: "She looks up to you. She'll never actually say that, but she does. And I just think, at her age, it's easy to get in over your head. She could make some bad choices here. Trust me on this one."
• Giles: "I'll keep an eye to it. Right now, I'm worried enough trying to think of the right birthday present."

The hole leading to the sewers created in the factory does not appear in the following episode, nor any episode future episode where it apparently appears to have been fixed.

Together with Buffy: Im Bann der Dämonen: Innocence (1998), the show transitioned from Mondays to Tuesdays. This was the last episode to be played on a Monday; all subsequent episodes aired on Tuesday.

This episode begins a tradition of Buffy birthdays gone awry, although Buffy does not celebrate her birthday on-screen in the final season. The 12th or 13th episode of each season is traditionally when Buffy celebrates her birthday; her birthday takes place in episode 12 of Season Three (Buffy: Im Bann der Dämonen: Helpless (1999)), episode 12 of Season Four (Buffy: Im Bann der Dämonen: A New Man (2000)), episode 13 of Season Five (_"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997) {Blood Ties (#4.13)_) and episode 14 of Season Six (Buffy: Im Bann der Dämonen: Older and Far Away (2002)), when Spike suggests Buffy to not celebrate her birthday anymore.

Willow mentions that Buffy had once told her to seize the day. She is referring to Buffy: Im Bann der Dämonen: Welcome to the Hellmouth (1997) where Buffy told her that and she did leading to her getting kidnapped by a vampire named Thomas.

This marks the first time that Angel puts the full weight of the Gypsy Curse to the test and the first time he has experienced true blissful love as a human and as a demon.

The Jenny Calendar character was not originally intended to be a Romani, that plotline arose out of a need to further explain and deepen the curse storyline.

In Buffy's dream, Willow says "L'hippo a piqué ton pantalon," which means "The hippo stole your pants" in French, while speaking to the monkey. This refers back to her conversation with Oz near the end of Buffy: Im Bann der Dämonen: What's My Line?: Part 2 (1997), in which, intentionally absurd, he wonders if the hippo animal cracker is jealous of the fact that the monkey is the only animal cracker with pants, as well as asserting that "All monkeys are French."

This features Rupert Giles's second visit to the Bronze, a rare occurrence in the series.

This is the episode where Oz finds out about the supernatural world

Buffy's birthday gift from Angel, her Claddagh ring, not only comes to signify her lost love for the rest of season two, but also plays an important part in the beginning of season three, first as a resonant antecedent to Scott Hope's impromptu gift, and then as a mystical focus for Angel's return from Acathla's hell dimension.

This episode marks the first time that Angel loses his soul. It will be restored in Buffy: Im Bann der Dämonen: Becoming: Part 2 (1998) by Willow as her first spell but he would purposefully lose it again in _Awakening_. Willow would restore it once again in _Orpheus_.

Several important plot-lines begin in this episode. Oz and Willow have their first date, commencing one of the longest relationships on the show. Angel is transformed into Angelus, becoming the Big Bad of season two. Spike and Drusilla are established as worthy adversaries, allowing for Spike's eventual return appearances in seasons three and four, and for his permanent membership as regular cast for seasons five, six and seven.

Spike is shown to be severely injured from his ordeal in the church while Drusilla is uninjured and cured. Its shown that Spike's injuries from the organ falling on him and the fire are such that even weeks later he still has burns on his face and is confined to a wheelchair as well as being notably weak. It takes him until Buffy: Im Bann der Dämonen: I Only Have Eyes for You (1998) for him to be able to secretly leave the wheelchair and until Buffy: Im Bann der Dämonen: Becoming: Part 2 (1998) for him to be shown to be fully recovered.
