The Fantasies:

The Risk Taker
The focus and a bitter tug-of-war between WB and UPN, the exceptional Buffy the Vampire Slayer refuses to play it safe. In the stark episode where Buffy's mother died of natural causes, no music was heard at all. But months later, after Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) rose from the dead, the entire cast burst into inspired song — revealing secrets and culminating in a violently sexual tryst between the Slayer and vampire Spike (James Marsters). The ultimate cult experience.
