4. Buffy The Vampire Slayer, “Older And Far Away” (2002)
Bad Buffy birthdays were a well-established tradition by the time Joss Whedon’s series reached its sixth year on the air, and true to the most angst-filled season, Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) endures an excruciating one in “Older And Far Away.” And it isn’t necessarily a monster that’s the big problem—though there is one, in the form of a demon that can disappear into the ether and reappear at inopportune moments—but the fact that she and her miserable friends are literally forced to spend time with each other. It all starts with perpetual third-wheel Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg), at her whiniest, inadvertently unleashing a vengeance demon’s spell after wishing everyone would stay with her. In a Luis Buñuel-esque twist, when all of Buffy’s friends come over for a birthday party, they’re unable to leave the house the next morning. The extra time together means that simmering conflicts between them—Buffy’s ugly tryst with Spike, Willow’s awkward post-breakup reunion with Tara, Dawn’s neglect in the wake of her mother’s death—can no longer be deferred.

6. Angel, “Spin The Bottle” (2002)
Near the start of its bleak fourth season, Angel took a breather from its increasingly glum proceedings—the question of Cordelia’s mysterious amnesia, the rift between Angel and the newly dark Wesley, the rift between Angel and the son who cast him to the bottom of the ocean, and no-longer-so-innocent Fred’s recent attempted murder of her former professor—for this episode set almost entirely within the walls of the Hyperion Hotel. When Lorne attempts to cast a spell that he believes will finally restore Cordelia’s memory, he accidentally causes everyone to revert back to their 17-year-old selves, forcing them to meet each other all over again—with attendant hijinks. And while it’s primarily a comic lark, and Joss Whedon has stated he wrote the episode with the sole purpose of bringing back Wesley’s “bumbling moron” persona, “Spin The Bottle” also serves a larger function within the season—not only providing the means by which the evil-or-maybe-not deity Jasmine is allowed to possess Cordelia, but reintroducing viewers to some characters who had changed to the point of becoming unrecognizable—and giving them one last glimmer of light before things turned irrepressibly dark.
