3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer – “The I in Team” – Buffy foils Professor Walsh’s Plan to Kill Her

Buffy and Riley

I know there are plenty of other moments where Buffy exerts her power that may strike a stronger chord with you. I bet you even wrote essays on it. (If you did, I would like to read them! Email me.) After all, the moment I chose is not even “apocalypse-y”.

However, if we are thinking about girl-power moments, I have to say that the scene when Buffy reveals to Professor Walsh that’s she alive, defines Buffy for me.

Buffy Sarah Michelle Gellar

In the beginning of the episode, Buffy initially feels accepted by the Initiative. They embrace who she really is. It feels good, especially after a rocky start to Buffy’s freshman year. However, we see her doubt a few of the Initiative tactics and practices. Her doubts are proven when Maggie Walsh tricks Buffy into a fake recon assignment only to trap Buffy in a cage with two demons.

Maggie Walsh thinks she killed Buffy once for all. But no! Not the vampire slayer! Buffy finds the camera that records the incident and tells Professor Walsh, “ If you think that’s enough to kill me, you don’t really know what a Slayer is. Trust me when I say you’re gonna find out.”

Bam! Girl-power moment! Unfortunately, Maggie Walsh doesn’t get to find out what a slayer actually does due to her being murdered by her own Frankenstein-y creation. However, the audience does see what a slayer can do and that’s just as rewarding.
