Ms. Calendar was a beloved supporting character in Buffy the Vampire Slayer who was completely wasted when she was killed by Angel.

The Big Picture Buffy the Vampire Slayer introduced many characters throughout its run, some that fans loved, some that fans hated, and some who simply deserved better. Fitting in the latter category is Ms. Jenny Calendar , the school’s computer science teacher who met a tragic end in the Season 2, Episode 17 “Passion,” at the hands of a soulless Angel .

Following the loss of Angel’s soul, Jenny works tirelessly to find a way to reinstate it again, translating lost ancient text that holds the key to the ritual needed. But on the night she makes the discovery and manages to translate the text, Angel shows up, having been warned of Jenny’s plan by Drusilla . What results is a cat-and-mouse chase that is so tense and worrisome, it's almost hard to watch.

Ms. Calendar Deserved Better Than 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' As sad as Jenny’s death is, it was made worse by the fact that her storyline didn’t feel complete. That may seem obvious as her death was quite shocking and unexpected, but the entire lead-up to her death felt quite rushed and thrown together which didn’t do it many favors. There is no indication of Jenny having any sort of ties to Angel or the Kalderash people leading up to the big reveal.
