This episode of the podcast Buffy and the Art of Story talks about The Prom (Season 3 Episode 20 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer), where Buffy fights monsters that threaten the prom and Angel questions whether he and Buffy have a future together. Also:

(1) What looks like resolution of the Buffy/Angel relationship — but is it?

(2) A very subtle Story Spark or Inciting Incident;

(3) Why the A plot is not obvious until we reach the episode's Climax;

(4) No real major plot turn at the three-quarter point – though there is escalation.
