Becoming (Part 1)

This episode is a big one!! In Part One of the Two-Part season finale, Nondescript Voiceover Guy shows us the formative moments of Angel's existence. We travel back to the 1700’s to see Angel shooting his shot with Darla and how terribly wrong it goes. We see his first meeting with Dru, the curse being cast, and of course the MOST formative moment, when he first saw Buffy Summers (and was able to look past that terrible outfit she was wearing at the time). In between walks down memory lane, Buffy and the gang are faced with an unearthed tomb containing a Demon who could suck all life into hell for eternal torment...oh, and also final exams. Buffy resigns to dusting Angelus until a found floppy disk (remember those?) reveals that Ms. Calendar had cracked the restore-the-curse-code. So now it’s moral dilemma time Rewatchers! Should Buffy try to get her boyfriend back and transform Angelus back into Angel, or should he pay for what he’s done?
