When Buffy finally grinds the Master’s bones into dust, she collapses into Angel’s arms, sobbing out her fear, her frustration, and her victory to the one she loves best.
In the next episode, “Some Assembly Required,” they move on, becoming more of a twosome. Which includes quarreling:
Buffy: “Are you jealous?”
Angel: “Of Xander? Please, he’s just a kid.”
Buffy: “Is it ’cause I danced with him?”
Angel: “‘Danced with’ is a pretty loose term. ‘Mated with’ might be a little closer…”
Buffy: “Don’t you think you’re being a little unfair? One little dance, which I only did to make you crazy, by the way; behold my success!”
Angel: “I am not jealous!”
Buffy: “Oh, you’re not jealous. What, vampires don’t get jealous?”
Angel: “See? Whenever we fight, you always bring up the vampire thing.”
Buffy: “I didn’t come here to fight.”
