crossovers
At the end of Buffy Season 3, Angel left to Los Angeles to start his own show. Many of us
looked forward to those special episodes where we would see crossovers of the two shows, this
section is a tribute to those episodes! There are also descriptions of the
episodes of Angel where we first see Buffy characters that have permanently crossed.
