How does riley leave buffy

Also, Riley saw himself as "smooth" though upon his first time trying to flirt with Buffy, it only confused her due to his awkward ramblings, much to his embarrassment and frustration. Due to his affiliation with the Initiative, Riley was shown to fit well in a leadership role, effectively leading the Scooby Gang upon Buffy's request during patrol and also with his squads in the military.

Though because of his involvement with the military, Riley also carried a black-and-white outlook when it came to demons and humans. This was seen in his prejudice of Willow dating a werewolf at one point, much to Buffy's annoyance, [11] who had previously been involved with a vampire, his brutally lambasting Buffy and the Scoobies for harboring Spike, and also his berating Willy for serving demons at his bar while nearly shooting a human patron.

Despite his outward displays of confidence and carefree nature, he was revealed to have underlying insecurities and lack of self-confidence regarding his relationship with Buffy. This was because he had worried that he wasn't strong enough for Buffy who seemed to be drawn to less-than-human men.

Despite briefly casting his worries aside thanks to Buffy, [15] it returned not long after. His character then took on a darker turn, as he became increasing more reckless, driven to the point of allowing female vampires to feed on him for a rush, as he felt more needed with them.

Riley also is seen to have a fierce jealous streak in him, as he had quickly came to blows with Angel in an alleyway while he was on his way to apologize to Buffy [12] and had violently confronted Spike on three separate occasions.

Audiences were initially skeptical of the prospects of Buffy the Vampire Slayer working as a TV show, but the Joss Whedon cult classic quickly turned into a genre-defining program, and also served as a launching pad for some major talent like Sarah Michelle Gellar , Alyson Hannigan, and David Boreanaz. Buffy helped bring horror and more sophisticated serialized storytelling to the mainstream, but it also indulged in aspects of teenage melodrama.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer deserves lots of credit for its work with monsters, effects, and fight choreography, but relationship drama became a fundamental component of the series, especially in later seasons. Buffy catches Riley at a vampire brothel, where he's getting fed on by female vampires.

Despite a great deal of awkwardness along the way not least when Riley walked in on Buffy in bed with Spike , the two exes ultimately parted on good terms, with Riley and Sam setting off for Nepal and promising to keep in touch. After Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended with season 7, the story continued in comics published by Dark Horse.

A lot happened in the comics, from time travel to Dawn turning into a centaur to Willow getting a girlfriend who was a demonic goddess with the body of a snake. Riley returned in one of the early comic arcs when he worked as a double agent for Buffy, infiltrating the following of a villain called Twilight.

During this arc, Faith finally got a chance to apologize to to Riley for tricking him into sleeping with her while she was in Buffy's body. Sam and Riley continued to work together in military operations against demonic activity, and Riley was later appointed as a member of the Magic Council. In the final appearance in the comics, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 11, the Finns succeeded in exposing a conspiracy to drain and weaponize magical energy.
