Buffy: Sarah Michelle Gellar, David Boreanaz Reflect on "The Prom"

It was on May 11, 1999, when the 20th episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 3 (our favorite season) first hit our screens. Nearly 25 years later, "The Prom" (directed by David Solomon and written by Marti Noxon) is still considered to be one of the finest episodes of the beloved series' seven-season run. After a conversation with Buffy's mother, Joyce (Kristine Sutherland), Angel makes the decision to break up with Buffy for the sake of her future happiness, adding that he plans on leaving Sunnydale once the big-bad smackdown is over. A senior prom and way too many hellhounds later, the episode ends on a rare, uplifting note, with Sunnydale High finally giving Buffy the recognition that she deserved for the sacrifices that she's made as their protector. And though he claimed that it didn't change how things were between them, Angel arrives in time (and in a tux) to give Buffy an amazing prom dance.

Boreanaz made it clear that "The Prom" is an episode that stuck with him, sharing a screencap from Buffy & Angel's dance with the caption, "Time stands still, In a moment. #AngelBuffy" back in 2024, honoring the episode and the final moments. Not long after, Gellar checked in with a response that led to a brief exchange that had our inner geeks high-fiving:
