"Passion. It lies in all of us - waiting. And though unwanted, it will stir, open its jaws and howl. And we obey. It speaks to us. Guides us. Passion rules us all. What other choice do we have?"

"Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love. The clarity of hatred. And the ecstacy of grief."
"It hurts sometimes, more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. - But we would be hollow. Empty rooms. Shuttered and dank. Without passion, we would be truly dead."
-'Angel' - from "Passions" - Jenny's last episode.
Jenny Calendar joined the cast of "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" this season as the kids' computer ed. teacher, and Giles' love interest. Since, she had become a close friend to the gang, and a very interesting character to the viewer. In such a short time, we, as viewers, have learned many things about Miss Calendar. Many revealing secrets, of her life as a gypsy named 'Janna' (said, "Yaanaa"), her soft side as a sweet girlfriend to Giles, and her loyalty to many things. And as you read the Angel quotes above, you may wonder, why?, did I put those up there... Well other than the fact that they were the running theme throughout Jenny's last episode, I think that they also in a way represent Jenny's personality. Think about it - from what we know, we can tell that Jenny was a very passionate person - about many things. Look at all her passions: Jenny is passionate about her love for Giles, and she was also passionate about regaining the gang's trust. She has the undying passion to undo the spell on Angel - which in fact spun from her own passion to follow her gypsy family. Jenny is passionate about computers, her roots, and so many other things. And in fact, a few of her passiona are added up and caused her untimely death. Jenny and Giles were a great match. Even though they are quite different, they shared love. And always will.

Jenny was killed in the episode, "Passions" on February 24, 1998. She was killed by Angel, while trying to 'cure' him. And give him back his soul. A thing that Jenny had tried to do for so long. And she never got to finish. Angel killed Jenny by 'snapping her in half', Angel broke her back. Before she died, Jenny had finally reconciled with Giles, and was planning on going to his house, once she finished her spell. She finally had the incantation translated, when Angel got in. "The sign outside the school..." "Enter al ye who seek knowledge..." "Yeah, what can I say? I'm a knowledge seeker." Jenny had just saved the information on a disk, when Angel smashed the computer, and the printout. He also smashed the glass ball, the Orb of Thesila, against the blackboard. Eliminating all chances of his soul being returned - except one. He overlooked the disk. The disk is currently on the floor between Miss Calendar's desks. If someone finds it they could restore Angel's soul. But no one knows where it is...

When Giles came home he expected to find (a live) Jenny, especially since there was flowers and wine set out at his house. Also, a note saying, "Upstairs". But, this was all orcastrated by Angel. When Giles went upstair he found a dead Jenny on his bed. I think it was one of the saddest moments. Angel also left a drawing of a dead Jenny. It was even sadder (and brought tears) when Giles called Buffy and Willow with the sad, sad news. They were crying and shocked, it was soo sad.

Giles went to avenge Jenny's death and attacked Angel in his home. When Buffy learned of his plan, she bailed him out. But Angel got away. Xander yelled at Buffy because she never killed Angel, but the girls were simpathetic.

Giles and Buffy were safe, but the entire gang is in great mourning. Buffy and Giles put flowers on Jenny's grave and Buffy apologized, for not killing Angel. Willow was left as 'sub' for Miss Calender's class, where she knocked the disk.

RIP: JENNY CALENDAR, SHE WILL BE MISSED

Unfortunetly I do not know where Robia LaMorte (Jenny) can be seen next, I hope she shows up soon...
