Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Killed by Death (1998)
Season 2, Episode 18
You can't keep a good slayer down
1 October 2016
Warning: Spoilers
A very scary episode dealing with a creature reminding me a lot of Freddy Krueger stalking a hospital and Angelus trying to take advantage of the sick slayer. Buffy wanting to take out Angelus before he kills anyone else and wears herself thin. It shows how determined, resilient slayers can be and heal based on the high temperature she has. Angel tries to attack her twice one in a graveyard and again at the hospital showing how slick, cunning and evil he's become not waiting for a big fight instead of when the chips are down. The demon appears to those only sick doing the same so he can sick the life out of them and goes after the most innocent in society children. His makeup is good, his methods are terrifying as he shreds those who get in his way and he remains silent without any idea how it ticks.

Also I love how caring Buffy has become willing to risk her life for the kids and getting sick again to stop the monster. Her friend helping to ward of Angel, create distractions for the doctors and helping her to the basement to fulfill her duties. It feels like a family support,g one another and helping out anyway they can to save the day proving team work gets better results instead of the watcher council's policy she remain alone in the fight.
