This episode adds new meaning to the first slayer's message. Death is not only the gift the slayer gives the world, but also the gift the world gives the slayer. It's end to the fighting, the suffering, and the loneliness.

Spike really loved her. He was counting every day since she was gone.

After Life was a great episode where Buffy reveals to Spike that was pulled out of Heaven, (foreshadowing here when Buffy said before 'is this hell) We see Buffy again experiencing her depression, which from the death of Joyce onwards is always there. She says to Giles in S5 Finale The Gift, ' I don't want to live in a world like this if these are the choices, if everything keeps getting stripped away'. Spike also reveals in S5 episode Fool For Love 'every slayer has a death wish, even you'. Buffy is obviously not the same since coming back, she has been torn out of heaven, and does not know how to deal with life now. Of course she was right when she said to Dawn at end of The Gift ' the hardest thing in this world is to live in it' and she was right. Great acting from both SMG and James Marsters in this episode, we can see the Spuffy relationship growing. Willow is now taking risks with magic.This episode sets up a great Season arc.

Buffy never said that she was in hell. Everyone just assumed that since Glory was tearing a hole in dimensions, that Buffy would end up in a hell dimension. Instead she simply died and went to heaven.

Great episode and reaction! The way Spike looks at Buffy sometimes~! And also, that last scene always gets me 15:00 My take was always that the Scoobies thought Buffy would be trapped in Hell was because of the crazy portal stuff going on when she died. I think in Bargaining 1/2 Willow even says she "could" be trapped in some hell dimension somewhere, so they went with worst case scenario. Not like they needed *that* much motivation to bring her back, of course.

I think it's very telling that Buffy reveals where she was to Spike over telling her friends.

"Death" was her "gift" we should have known

So much foreshadowing in this episode for the Season if you watch closely. No spoilers, but color choices, character actions, and behavior pretty much are a direct through line to the season finale.

They all assumed she was in hell, Buffy never said a word. She didn’t want to hurt them by them knowing the ripped her out of heaven and took away her peace and completion. It’s horribly jarring indeed.

One thing I like is that there are always consequences for using magic. But this thing? This was not Willow's consequence for bringing Buffy back.
