Episode Recap

Buffy and the gang set out for one last battle against the God, Glory. Armed with the Buffy-Bot, Willow's magick, Spike, Dagons Sphere, Olaf's Hammer and a wrecking ball Buffy has much confidence that this is the last battle she will ever fight in.

Willow is the first obstacle that Glory has to overcome before she can approach Dawn. Willow does a spell that gives Tara back her sanity, and weakens the Hell Goddess. Then Buffy-Bot comes in with Dagons Sphere. The Buffy-Bot goes toe-toe with Glory for a while before, Glory destroys it and then kicks Buffy-Bot's head off. As she makes her way up the tower she is intercepted by the real Buffy who is wielding Olaf's Hammer. She beats the crap out of Glory then she is knocked through a wall courtesy of Xander's wrecking ball. Buffy continues to beat the weakened Hell God to submission. Glory eventually reverts to her human form, Ben, taking her out of the rest of the final fight.

Meanwhile Spike finds Doc, a strong demon and ally of Glory, at the top of the tower and is knocked off. At the base of the tower, Willow who is tending to Tara, Xander and Giles who are fighting off Glory's minions run to Ben's side. Giles suffocates him and continues to fight, doing this to make sure Glory can never return and exact her revenge. Buffy continues to make her way to the top of the tower not noticing Doc has cut her and the portal has began to open. She knocks him off with no trouble whatsoever before running to Dawn's aid. Buffy begins to take her sister to safety but Dawn rejects and tells Buffy what she must do; sacrifice herself to stop the portal. Creatures from different dimensions begin to come out of the portal. Then Buffy has a series of flashbacks, which include the first Slayer telling her gift, Dawn's visit to the hospital after cutting herself where Buffy shows her they have the same blood, "Summers' blood" and the monk telling her how they created Dawn form her. Buffy pieces everything together and realizes what she has to do. She gives Dawn a heart-felt and very emotional goodbye before swan diving into the portal herself, stopping the dimensional portal from hell.

Her body is deposited on the rubble below. Dawn comes down from the tower to find her sister dead, and her friends gathered around her body crying intensely. A smile can be seen on her face, however. She has saved the world, again. In the next scene we see her gravestone and it reads: Buffy Anne Summers
