At the end of last week's instalment of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," Buffy found her mom unconscious. This week looks like a sad one for the slayer.

According to E! Online's Watch With Wanda, Buffy's mom has left the land of the living. This week, Buffy must tell her "sister" Dawn the sad news.

Rumours also abound that Angel (Buffy's ex-boyfriend and vampire) could make an appearance at her mother's funeral.

In more "Buffy" news, E! Online's TV chat says that if you're still longing to find out if Buffy and her nemesis Spike will ever hook up, you'll have to wait until the season finale in May.
