Trivia This is the last episode written by Marti Noxon. See more »
Goofs Spike is shown being tortured by drowning - that is, his head is held down in water and his breath bubbles up to the top - but according to Joss Whedon's canon, vampires do not breathe, or at least, they do so only for effect. This "vampire fact" was shown in Season One's Angel (1997), when Angel cannot perform CPR on Buffy, but Xander can. Meanwhile, in Season Four, Spike fakes heavy breathing as though he has been running, but it's just a trick so that he can get into Giles's house. (That said, it is possible that there are some instances where vampires require breath - specifically, when they are in need of healing. This occurs sporadically throughout the series - when Spike is being physically tortured, he seems to need air to heal himself.) See more »

Quotes [last lines]
Buffy Summers: You're right... We don't know how to fight it. We don't know when it'll come. We can't run. Can't hide. Can't pretend it's not the end, 'cause it is... Something's always been there to try and destroy the world. We've beaten them back. But we're not dealing with them anymore. We're dealing with the reason they exist. Evil. The strongest. The First.
Rupert Giles: Buffy, um, I-I know you're, you're tired...
Buffy Summers: I'm beyond tired. I'm beyond scared. I'm standing on the mouth of hell and it is gonna swallow me whole. And it'll choke on me... We're not ready? *They're* not ready. They think we're gonna wait for the end to come, like we always do. I'm done waiting. They want an apocalypse? Well, we'll give 'em one. Anyone else who wants to run, do it now, 'cause we just became an army. We just declared war. From now on we won't just face our worst fears, we will seek them out. We will find them and cut out their hearts one by one, until The First shows itself for what it really is. And I'll kill it myself. There is only one thing on this earth more powerful than evil... And that's *us*... Any questions?
