Buffy the Vampire Slayer's most shocking death was actually foreshadowed a whole season before the tragic event played out. From technopagan Jenny Calendar (Robia Scott) to witch and Scooby Gang member Tara Maclay (Amber Benson), some of Buffy's most significant central characters were killed off throughout the course of the show's seven-season run. However, the loss of Buffy's mother, Joyce Summers (Kristine Sutherland), upended the titular Slayer's world the most, especially since her death was such a shock to Buffy and audiences alike.
