BUFFY THE TRIVIA PLAYER. Do you wonder how Buffy the Vampire Slayer will end? You're not alone. Here are some oddly familiar scenarios straight from Joss Whedon's recycling bin. See if you can figure out the sources.

The danger was never the Hellmouth—it was BOB!

The Scooby Gang winds up sharing the same jail cell.

Buffy wakes up and tells Mrs. Beasley that she just had the strangest dream!

Buffy was the fantasy of an autistic child with a Dark Shadows lunch box.

Spike puts a pistol to his head and pulls the trigger.

Giles takes a job as a radio host in Tacoma.

Buffy dies to save the world, finally giving Willow a passionate kiss on her way out.

Special guest Bette Midler vamps "One For My Baby (And One More For the Road)."

The slayer fights the Apocalypse in three different time periods, synchronizing her actions to save the universe.

Buffy adopts children, admits that she's gay, and quits slaying in order to focus on her new magazine launch, Buffy.

The Scoobies share a group hug in Buffy's living room and exit, singing "It's a Long Way to Tipperary." (Willow, Anya, and Giles get their own spinoffs.)

Buffy really has been in a mental institution the whole time! She's discharged after a groovy psychiatrist (Allan Arbus) restores her sanity. Leaving the asylum, she sees a banner saying "GOODBYE."

Part One: Scooby Gang faces Apocalypse. Part Two: Before a reunited cast and a live audience, host Jeff Probst names who has been voted the ultimate survivor. Cast members reminisce about their funniest, scariest, and most touching moments.

The entire series was actually a first novel by high school newspaper editor Freddy Iverson. In reality, Giles is the principal, Willow is a cheerleader, Xander and Anya are based on Freddy's parents, and Dawn is the slayer who showed up after regular student Buffy Iverson turned into a vampire herself.

Riley returns, having resigned from Secret Ops for undisclosed reasons. Swept into a bizarre trial involving Andrew and a resurrected Adam, he discovers that the First Evil is his own double. Riley blows up the Hellmouth, escapes with Andrew and Adam, and drives off into a thunderstorm as the credits roll.
