Hush

I thought that the one of the most important scenes in the episode "Hush" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, was when Buffy and Riley both showed up to fight the Gentlemen and saw each other. Both of them had been lying to each other because they both live double lives. Buffy is the vampire slayer, while Riley works for a secret government program made to fight demons. The relationship between the two of them had not progressed very far because they were both keeping things from the other. Neither of them could tell the other the truth, despite the fact that they both really wanted to. They had a deep connection that you can feel in the opening scene of this episode, but it led nowhere for the two of them. In this scene the two fought the Gentlemen side by side and realized that they both had been keeping secrets from each other. At the end of this episode the two sit down to discuss what had just happened. I think that now that they know about the other's secret they can move forward in their relationship. This goes to show that relationships are based on honesty, and that you can't have a working relationship when someone is hiding something about themself.
