1. The Gift - This episode makes me cry every single time and it's a brilliant, impactful conclusion to the arc of the season, both metaphorically and literally.
2. Fool for Love - Spike's development throughout the series is one of its highlights for me. Getting to discover his layers, the many times contradictory facets of his personality, and his rich inner world was an amazing journey that was greatly fueled by this episode.
3. The Body - What can I say about this episode that has not already been said? The way it conveys grief and the negative space surrounding the death of a loved one is painfully realistic and impossible to shake off once you watch it. The silence pounds on you, the writing and the acting tug at your hearstrings as you follow the characters trying to deal and make sense of what has happened. It's a masterclass in TV and into how fundamental truths can be captured through stories.
4. Crush - There is Drusilla, the adorable dynamic between Spike and Dawn, Buffy finds out about Spike's feelings for her, we get to experience more of Spike's complexity, and wonder about the link between the soul and love. Lots of elements to enjoy in this one.
5. Family - This is when I fell in love with Tara's character. The family is more than blood trope is something that I never get tired of seeing in stories and here it relates wonderfully to both Dawn and Tara.
