  This week... my emotionally gripping episode is:

  Buffy The Vampire Slayer
  "The Body"
  
  Please watch this episode if you love serious buffy plots.
  This episode is such a classic. Each character displays their grief so separately, and brilliantly. If I cried during tv shows or movies, I would cry when Anya is asking where Joyce is. It is one of the most tear-jerking lines in any show I have ever seen.
  
  Anya: Are they gonna cut the body open?
  Willow: Oh my God! Would you just... stop talking? Just... shut your mouth! Please!
  Anya: What am I doing?
  Willow: How can you act like that?
  Anya: Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?
  Xander: Guys--
  Willow: The way you behave--
  Anya: Nobody will tell me.
  Willow: Because it's not okay for you to be asking these things!
  Anya: But I don't understand! I don't understand how this all happens. How we go through this. I mean, I knew her, and then she's, there's just a body, and I don't understand why she just can't get back in it and not be dead anymore! It's stupid! It's mortal and stupid! And, and Xander's crying and not talking, and, and I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well Joyce will never have any more fruit punch, ever, and she'll never have eggs, or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why. (She begins to cry)
  Willow: (long pause) We don't know... how it works... why.
  
  A beautifully written episode.
  And an excellent episode to prepare for "The Gift."
