13) Season Four: the college years. ...Buffy's at college. Also: - Willow and Oz break up. - Spike gets experimented on by the government, and can't hurt anyone anymore. - The Gentlemen steal everyone's voices. - Evil governmenty lady gets stabbed by her own Frankensteinian monster. - Faith pretends to be Buffy. - The Scoobies fight the goverment.
14) Dreams. Everyone falls asleep. And weird stuff happens.
15) Dawn. For some reason, Buffy now has a little sister. This is extremely odd.
16) The many tragedies of Season Five. Joyce (Buffy's mum) gets sick, Riley (Buffy's boyfriend) leaves, and Joyce dies.
And then there's a few nice touching moments, before... 17) Buffy dies. Big epic battle of epicness, which involves Dawn tied to bits of scaffolding, big shiny things floating in midair, and Buffy leaping to her death.
18) Season Six begins. ...with Buffy's resurrection. Which she's not very happy about. Especially because she's now stuck with crappy plumbing, unsuitable clothes for fighting, geeky guys who want to take over the town, and big demons with wings.
19) Zany antics. - Dancing. (Because having money is just that awesome.) - More dancing. (Because Joss wanted to write a musical.) - Screaming. (Because amnesia has caused vampires to be unexpected and scary.) - Green smoke and bunnies. (Just for fun.) - A rat gets turned back into a girl (and discovers she missed the last three years). - The geeky guys try out a freezeray.
20) Much smexing. Buffy and Spike make out. A lot. ...and then break up. (It's a long story.)
21) A few more zany antics. Buffy is a bridesmaid in a horrible dress, and then a mental patient (long story), Spike and Anya have sex, Dawn squees (epically), Buffy is attacked by big spinny things, the geeky guys get jetpacks, and then...
22) Willow goes evil. ...because Tara dies. (Rule of thumb: black hair means she's evil, red hair means she's back to normal, and we've reached the end of the season.)
23) Season Seven begins. There's a new high school, Spike has weird hair (and a soul), and girls are getting hunted down by evil guys in robes. A creature who sort of looks like Gollum paralyses Dawn (who is now poseable), Anya flashbacks to being Swedish, and then they all fall in love (cue funky looking spells and Spike stealing Buffy's rocket launcher).
24) The real action starts... ...with Buffy getting therapy from the evil dead, Dawn destroying the house, and Spike killing people (although it's okay, because he's being hypnotised). Then the Potentials arrive (lots of girls who were being hunted) and do training in the basement. Dawn is all encouraging, Willow buys a gun and almost kills her girlfriend, the principal has lots of funky knives, Xander's latest love-interest tries to kill him, and Buffy gets tied up and attacked by evil smoke.
25) Andrew. Who is a formerly evil nerd, and very odd. He has exciting Olympus-themed fantasies, cries his little eyes out (but not literally), and turns off his video camera.
26) Smackdown! Robin Wood (the black guy - also the new principal) attacks Spike. Who attacks back.
27) More intriguing developments... - Faith returns (now no longer evil - although Andrew's pretty sure she kills Vulcans). - Caleb (who looks almost exactly like that guy from Firefly) snaps lots of necks. - Dawn hugs a now one-eyed Xander. - Buffy leaves the house, and is comforted by Spike. - And then she gets a shiny new weapon.
28) The final battle. It's a big battle. At the high school. And there's a spell, and lots of vampirey things, and much fighting, and a magic necklace, and the town collapses into a big crater. And at the end, Buffy smiles. Which is just awesome.
