The Angel/Angelus switch, definitely. On Angel, I think Dru revamping Darla. Or Angel and Lindsey finally making out. Except that last one might have been in my head.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?
Early ,'Objects In Space'
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Or Angel and Lindsey finally making out. Except that last one might have been in my head.
Not really HSQ, but I did give a little shocked gasp when Darla said to Lindsey "It's not me you want to screw, it's him".

Strawberry disappointment.
When it became clear Faith was going for suicide by vamp.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
On Angel, it had to be I KEEL YOU WITH THIS PILLOW!!! That edges out the very close runners-up (Angel closing the doors of the people cellar; Wes opening the closet door to reveal Justine in the cage) only because it was Angel getting his vengeance on against someone very close to him. I mean, DAMN.
The other two had a bit more of a distance, because Angel had no love for the lawyers in the people cellar, and Wes had no love for Justine. (Though those were still big ol' HSQ moments.)
On Buffy, it's a tie between Buffy killing Angel and Buffy's swan dive in The Gift.

What was your favorite HSQ moment from Buffy?
So many -- angel/angelus, Giles (not ripper) smothering Ben, "I'd Like to test that theory", Buffy jumping in The Gift.
Angel -- throwing the cigarette on Darla and Drusilla, Doyle saving the day

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
You want me to pick just one?
Buffy - The entire Angelus arc. Even though I was never a big fan of Jenny Calendar, her violent end and the subsequent torture (physical and mental) of Giles was jaw-droppingly good TV.
Angel - Either the firing of the MoG, or Wesley meets pillow. Not surprisingly, La Tep and I are of one mind: it was shocking because it was family.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty
Buffy - "I'd like to test that theory." I think I screamed really really loudly when that happened.
I sort of saw Buffy's swan dive coming from the moment they revealed that Dawn wasn't real. It just made good story. Buffy would have to love the key as if she was really her sister in order to save the world, which (in my head) meant dying in her stead.
Angel - Locking lawyers in the cellar.

The two that absolutely, positively took me by complete and utter surprise:
Buffy - "I'd like to test that theory." Could practically hear the chorus of "GILES!!!!" sound far and wide.
Angel - Dru vamping Darla. Just so cruelly perfect that twist was.
And since I came to Buffy late, I didn't get the benefit of a lot of HSQ moments being truly unexpected. Still, Giles made me so happy that time. Awwww.

Because books.
This question is too hard.
Buffy: A toss-up between Angelus snapping Jenny's neck, and Angel dropping in from hell, naked. I want to say it's Giles's "I'd like to test that theory," but I knew he was coming back. I squeed, but I wasn't surprised.
Angel: The pillow is it, although locking the lawyers in with Darla and Dru is a close second.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
This question is too hard.
Hee. I thought maybe making it "favorite" instead of biggest or most important would help. Guess not.
