Episode Transcript for Becoming Part 2 Hello and welcome to the podcast Buffy and the Art of Story Season Two. If you love Buffy the Vampire Slayer and you love creating stories – or just taking them apart to see how they work – you’re in the right place. I am Lisa M Lilly, author of the Awakening supernatural thriller series and the Q.C. Davis mysteries and founder of WritingAsASecondCareer.com. This Monday we're talking about Becoming Part Two. That is Season Two episode Twenty-Two. The second half of the two-episode finale. What’s Included We’ll cover: the plot points from the Midpoint of the two-episode arc through the end; episode plot turns; how the pace of Part Two differs From Part One showing emotion through a character's actions; the concept of a Pyrrhic victory; and how the episode plays out themes that are present throughout Season Two and foreshadows future relationships and developments. As always, there will be no Spoilers except at the end to talk about foreshadowing, but I’ll give you plenty of warning. Okay, let's dive into the Hellmouth. Becoming Part Two was written and directed by Joss Whedon. Opening Conflict Of Becoming Part Two We start right where we left off. And it is a fantastic opening conflict for the episode. Kendra is lying dead on the library floor. We hear a cop say, “Freeze,” as Buffy is leaning over Kendra. There are two police officers. They pull Buffy away. One determines that Kendra is dead. The other says, “What about up there?” And for the first time Buffy looks up and sees Xander lying in front of the bookshelves. She tries to get to him. But the police officer drags her out. She is protesting that she didn't do anything, and Snyder comes in with more police and says, “Why do I find that so hard to believe?” He then tells the cops that if there's trouble, Buffy is behind it.
