Here is the promo breakdown for next week's Angel episode, "Sacrifice" :

Narrator: Next Wednesday on the WB...

We open with a shot of Angel and Wesley, standing in a sewer tunnle or concrete bunker. Welsey is holding a round, blue orb in his hands that is circled by a black material of some kind. Angel glances upwards, as though hearing something above him or far away.

Angel: "Something's goin' down."

Cut to a shot of Wesley climbing in the passenger seat of the Angelmobile. The rest of the gang are already inside it, and the top is up.

Narrator: On the run.

Cut to a shot of the car going in reverse, then doing a 180 to speed off away from the camera. The scene is at night (as was the previous shot).

Switch to a shot of two police cars, lights flashing, as they burn through the parking lot of a motel or strip mall, as though they are in pursuit.

Cut back to the scene in the sewer/bunker, only showing a close up of Angel.

Angel: "Something bad."

Fade to black, then fade in on a shot in the sewer tunnels. These are the smaller tunnels, only about head high or so, and rounded. Gunn leads the way, followed by Fred, then Lorne.

Narrator: Forced underground.

Flash some beams of light, then we fade to a shot of people in camoflage uniforms running through the tunnels, flashlights in hand.

More lights flash, then we cut to a shot of Jasmine standing in her hotel room, holding her arms open wide and laughing heartily, once could say evilly (if that's a word).

Cut back to the sewer/bunker scene. Now we see Angel, Wesley, Lorne, and Gunn leaning up against a door, trying to keep it shut.

Wesley: "Someone who knows the truth has to live through this."

Cut to another shot of the soldiers in the sewer tunnels with their flashlights.

Return to the door, only this time the people holding it shut are Fred, Wesley, Lorne, and Gunn. Wesley throws the blue orb back towards the camera, presumably to Angel.

Cut to a shot from the other side of the door, where we see the soldiers come out of the tunnel and approach it.

Flash back to see Angel catching the blue orb that Wesely threw to him.

Narrator: Only one can survive. The others - left behind.

Cut back to the other side of the door, where the soldiers appear to be trying to ram it open. Connor looks to be directing things.

Cut back to the gang holding the door up, as the camera (and Angel, presumably), moves away from them.

Switch back to the shot of Jasmine, laughing.

Finish with a shot of Angel standing before a large sewer screen, looking upwards.

Angel: "That thing is really pissing me off."

Cut the Angel logo.

Narrator: All-new Angel, next week on the WB Wedenesday night.

Here is the promo breakdown of next week's Buffy episode, "Empty Places" :

Narrator: Acuvue-cam presents a preview of next week's Buffy the Vampire Slayer....

As the opening scenes that we've seen in the previous promos for the final episodes scroll across the screen, we here the song "Goodbye to You", sung by Michelle Branch, as the backing music. (That was the song that ended the episode "Tabula Rasa"

Goodbye to you,
Goodbye to everything that I knew...

We open with a shot of Buffy walking around the room where the seal of Dazalthar is, from the scene where she threatened Andrew in "Storyteller". An orangeish, fiery glow colors the scene. Superimposed over the shot are the words THE COUNTDOWN IS ON. Also superimposed over the shot is a pocket watch used as a pendulum.

That scene fades out, and another scene fades in, this time shot of Buffy in a black leather coat and a long sword fades in. This looks as if it's from "Selfless", when Buffy was going to take on Anya. The pendulum/pocket watch is still superimposed over the shot. The THE COUNTDOWN IS ON words disappear, and they are replaced by ONLY 4 WEEKS LEFT. The words stay on the screen while the scene fades out, and we continue with a shot of Buffy, this time risning up, looking concerned about somehting. I can't place where this is from. The pendulum/pocket watch is still superimposed over the shot.

We get a very brief flash of three ghostly images of a face, in deep shadows. The images glow in kind of a greenish light and looks to consist of three identical faces lined up next to each other. The shot then flashes to its negative image, then back to the "normal" shot before disappearing.

We cut to a shot of a darkened sky, with storm clouds rolling rapidly by. The UPN logo and the words NEXT TUESDAY appear on the screen, then they fly off the screen to be replaced by the words BETRAYAL HURTS.

The music recedes, and we see Buffy standing in her living room talking to the Scoobies and the Potentials. As Buffy speaks, several shots of the group appear.

Buffy: "For seven years I've kept us safe, and, and now what, suddenly you're all acting like you can't trust me?"

After the first shot of Buffy talking, we cut to a shot of many of the group listening, with downcast faces. In the forefront of this shot we see Xander, with a gauze bandage over his left eye, and Dawn seated next to him.

We then cut to a shot of Anya and Willow listening to Buffy. They both have sour looks on their faces.

Cut to a close up of Buffy, looking around the room. Dawn is standing close, but not next to her, and a little behind her.

We get a quick shot of Robin Wood standing next to Faith, as they both look on. Robin appears to be completely recovered from his injuries. Faith still has a couple of scrapes.

We pull back from that shot, where we see Dawn lean in to whisper something to Buffy or kiss her on the cheek, as Robin and Faith look on.

Switch to a close up of Dawn leaning in towards Buffy.

Switch angles to from behind Dawn as she leans in. The scene changes coloring, becoming whiter and "bleached out".

As the scene shifts, the music turns up a little bit and the narrator voices over the next set of scenes.

You were the one thing that I loved,
the one thing that I tried to hold on to...

Narrator: Anything can happen, when you're this close to the end.

We see a shot of Buffy's body crashing through the big window by her desk at her office in the school.

Cut to another shot to see Buffy, having crashed to the window, slam into the wall opposite her office. Buffy crumples face down to the floor.

Cut to a shot of Buffy lying on the floor next to the damaged wall, as Caleb looks down at her, then turns and walks down the hallway, away from the camera.

Narrator: An all-new Buffy, sponsored in part by Acuvue contact lenses.

Here is the promo for the next Angel episode, "Peace Out" :

Narrator: Next Wednesday ...

We open on a shot of Angel entering a room in a cave setting, as he walks underneath a stone entrance. On either side of him are two large braziers holding flame.

Narrator: Only one answer...

The scene jumps forward, stll in the cave room, but this time Angel is in the foreground of the shot. His shirt is ripped and bloody from the abdominal wound that the skittering creature opened up. Back behind Angel, standing in front of one of the braziers, is a bald, older-looking man(?). He looks like some kind of monk.

Angel: "So, we can either do this the easy way..."

The scene jump cuts again. This time, we see Angel backhand some demonoid type creature as the "monk" looks on.

We cut bakc to the shot Angel standing in the center of the room, with the "monk" in front of the brazier.

Angel: "...or the hard way."

Cut to a shot of a bipedal demonoid spinning around to strike a blow. This is in the cave room.

We see Angel with a surprised look on his face as he stands in front of one demonoid, then he spins around to clobber another demon.

Narrator: ...can stop a fate....

Cut to a shot of the MoG walking out of the Hyperion through the double frosted-glass doors. There don't appear to be any other people in the Hyperion lobby.

The shot fades out of focus, and then is replaced by a fuzzy close up of Jasmin, standing in her room as the shot focuses in on her face.

Jasmine: "Bring them to me."

Cut to a shot of the MoG in the sewers, after they have been captured. The are kneeling on the floor with their hands behind her back. Soldiers are surrounding them, and Connor, holding a sword, stalks a circle around them.

Cut to a shot of Angel standing in the cave room. The "monk" stands next to him as Angel painfully drops to his knees.

Switch to a close up of Angel on his knees, looking up at the "monk".

Angel: "What is it? I'm kind of in a hurry."

Cut to a close up of the MoG kneeling as Connor circles around them. This shot focuses in on Wesley and Gunn.

Narrator: ...worse than death.

Cut to a daytime shot of the Hyperion lobby. A large number of people are there, in various stages of undress. All are smiling. A blonde woman is in the center of the group, taking off her top.

Cut to a shot of the blonde woman standing naked in front of Jasmine. The woman has that "blissed-out" look on her face.

Flash cut to a shot of Gunn standing in the "jail cell" that the gang had prepared for Angelus in the basement of the Hyperion. He has a disgusted look on his face.

Gunn: "She eats people?"

Cut to a close up of Jasmine, standing in front of Connor. She is smiling, but the smile seems to be turning into a frown as she glances towards her left.

Cue the Angel logo.

Narrator: All-new Angel, next week on the WB Wedenesday night.

Here is the promo breakdown of next week's Buffy episode, "Love TrainTouched" :

Narrator: Acuvue-cam presents a preview of next week's Buffy the Vampire Slayer....

As the opening scenes that we've seen in the previous promos for the final episodes scroll across the screen, we here the song "Goodbye to You", sung by Michelle Branch, as the backing music. (That was the song that ended the episode "Tabula Rasa")

Goodbye to you, whoa-oah,

We open with a shot of Buffy walking around the room where the seal of Dazalthar is, from the scene where she threatened Andrew in "Storyteller". An orangeish, fiery glow colors the scene. Superimposed over the shot are the words THE COUNTDOWN IS ON. Also superimposed over the shot is a pocket watch used as a pendulum.

That scene fades out, and another scene fades in, this time shot of Buffy in a black leather coat and a long sword fades in. This looks as if it's from "Selfless", when Buffy was going to take on Anya. The pendulum/pocket watch is still superimposed over the shot. The THE COUNTDOWN IS ON words disappear, and they are replaced by ONLY 3 WEEKS LEFT. The words stay on the screen while the scene fades out, and we continue with a shot of Buffy, this time risning up, looking concerned about somehting. I can't place where this is from. The pendulum/pocket watch is still superimposed over the shot.

We get a very brief flash of three ghostly images of a face, in deep shadows. The images glow in kind of a greenish light and looks to consist of three identical faces lined up next to each other. The shot then flashes to its negative image, then back to the "normal" shot before disappearing.

As the UPN logo and the words NEXT TUESDAY appear on the screen, we open with a shot of Faith clutching Robin Wood's left arm and bringing it up to her face.

We switch angles and come up from behind Wood towards Faith as he caresses her cheek with his hand. Faith closes her eyes.

Pull out to a side shot as Faith leaps into Robin's arms as she kisses him. He falls backwards (presumably on to a bed behind him).

Faith (VO): "This is tonight. Forget about tomorrow."

The shot dissolves, and then some storm clouds appear with a lot of lightning flashing. The words HOW WOULD YOU SPEND... appear on screen.

Goodbye to everything that I knew...

Those words fade out, and the words YOUR LAST MOMENTS ON EARTH? appear.

The shot fades, then we cut to a shot of Spike kneeling before Buffy, looking up to her. The shot is from behind Buffy. I can't make out where this is, but a filing cabinet appears to be behind Spike.

Spike(VO): "A hundred plus years, and there's only one thing that I've ever been sure of."

Switch angles to from behind Spike, angled up towards Buffy. Spike reaches his right hand up to Buffy's cheek. She closes her eyes and turns her head away from his hand a bit.

Cut to a shot of Xander and Anya kissing passionately as they lay on the floor. Anya is on top, and Xander is wearing his red flannel shirt.

Fade out, then fade into a shot of Faith snuggling up next to a shirtless Robin, holding his head in her hands as he kisses her neck. They are both in bed..

Cut to a shot of Kennedy snugling up behind Willow in bed. Both are smiling.

Cut back to Spike, kneeling, but this time we just see a close up of Spike looking up towards Buffy. Spike: "I love you."

Fade to black, then fade in to a shot of Buffy, sitting on some kind of couch, talking to Spike (who is offscreen in this shot).

Buffy: "Will you just hold me?"

As this shot fades, a shot of Buffy sitting next to Spike on the couch overlaps it, then fades in. Spike has his arm around Buffy as they stare into each other's eyes.

That scene starts to fade as the storm clouds and lightning begin to come into view, then we switch to the Acuvue logo.

Narrator: Don't miss a minute of Buffy's final hours.

Narrator: An all-new Buffy, sponsored in part by Acuvue contact lenses.

Here is the promo breakdown for next week's Angel episode, "Home" :

Narrator: Next Wednesday on the season finale of Angel...

We open on a shot of the gang, standing in an office lobby. Everyone is cleaned up and dressed nicely. In the shot, we can see Gunn, Lorne, and Angel. All have stunned looks on their faces. Angel turns towards the camera location. The words SEASON FINALE appear at the bottom of the screen.

That shot fades, then we cut to a shot of a police cruiser rolling down the road, lights blazing.

Narrator: They ended world peace.

Cut to a shot of a city street. People are milling around, and a guy grabs a wire trash container and throws it thorugh a window of a store (which shatters before the trash bin hits it, but that's what you capture when you see things in slow motion).

We cut to a shot of Angel standing in the doorway to his office, leaning up against it as he folds his arms across his chest.

Fade to white, then cut to a shot of Angel and crew in an elevator.as the doors open.

Cut to a shot of Lilah, seated on a couch, talking. Note that she is wearing a high necked blouse.

Lilah: "This is the offer of a lifetime."

Cut to a shot of Fred, dressed in business casual attire, in an office. She is standing in front of some glass walls. We see some reflection in the glass. Fred turns with an astonished look on her face.

Narrator: Now...

Cut to a shot of a large office lobby. A huge W&H logo sits in the middle of the lobby as many people in business attire hurry by. A tall person in a suit walks by and talks to the camera location.

Businessman: "Morning, Mr. Angel."

Reverse shot to see Angel standing in the lobby, with a wary look on his face. He still has some cuts from his battle with Jasming.

Narrator: ...all their dreams may come true.

Cut to a shot of Gunn standing in the elevator next to some woman. This is shot from the side, so you can't tell who the woman is for sure, but it could be Cordelia, looking a lot more like Season 1 Cordy. Gunn turns to look at the woman.

Cut to a shot of Lilah standing before a desk in an office. The curtains to the windows behind her a drawn to expose the room to sunlight. Again, Lilah is wearing something that covers her neck (but exposes a lot of cleavage, just FYI).

Reverse to a shot of Angel standingin the office with his back to the windows. As the sunlight fills the room, he turns towards the light and brings his arms up to cover his face.

Cut back to a shot of Lilah standing in front of the windows, with curtains wide open, showing the view of the city. She is looking towards Angel and has a grin on her face.

Cut back to Angel, with his hands up, but he pulls them away from his face as he realizes he isn't burning.

Angel: "I'm not bursting into flames."

Cut the Angel logo, this time with SEASON FINALE written underneath it.

Narrator: All--new Angel, the season finale, next week on the WB Wednesday night

Here it is -- the last promo breakdown for a new episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, titled "Chosen" :

Narrator: Acuvue Cam presents a preview of next week's Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

We open with a shot of a hand lighting a match, then bringing the lit match over some kind of engraved tablet sitting on a table.

Narrator: The end is here.

Cut to a shot of 5 young people kneeling next to the Seal of Danzalthar, with their arms out (kind of like a seance), similar to the new Bringers we saw in "Storyteller".

Fade to a shot of Caleb, standing in the temple, with blood running down his face from his eyes, nose, and mouth.

Caleb: "Are you ready to finish this?"

The figure of Caleb is overlapped by a sillhouette of a figure, glowing white, with no distingushing features.

Cut to a shot in the Summers' house. Willow is in the left foreground, Spike is standing right behind her, Faith can be seen further back, leaning against a doorway, and it could be Kennedy stadning next to Faith. They are all looking intently at something off-camera.

Narrator: Be there as the Slayer takes her last stand.

Fade to a shot of Buffy standing up from the couch in the living room. Spike is now seen standing behind her. Buffy is wearing different clothes than we saw in the previous episode. Also, it's obvious that it is daylight outside the house.

Narrator: Will this be Buffy's final hour, or her finest hour?

Cut to the shot of Angel from "End of Days", looking on with a half-grin on her face.

Fade out, then fade in on an extreme close-up of Buffy. She has a gash over her left eye, and her face is smudged with dirt, but her eyes are wide open and very bright (but not a special effect).

Reverse angle to see Spike, looking a bit tousled himself, looking at Buffy with a surprised look on his face. The way he is lit, he almost looks like an elf in this shot.

We fade from that shot to a shot of the entire army of SiT's standing around a large hole in a cave. Everyone is armed with various types of weapons. The shot zooms to the center of the group, where we see Buffy and Faith standing side by side. No one looks as if they have fought, yet, as everyone looks down into the hole.

Cut to a shot of Buffy standing in the living room, talking to everyone. Spike is seen leaning against a doorway behind her. Buffy is wearing the same clothes that she was seen in the previous shot in the cave.

Buffy: "I'm finishng this once and for all."

Cut to a reaction shot of Giles, standing in front of the living room windows. He looks shocked.

Cut to a shot of Buffy and Angel in the temple, shot from behind Buffy and looking directly at Angel.

Cut to Spike lurking in the shadows, looking on at Buffy and Angel, as the FE stands further behind him.

Buffy (VO): "Brace yourself."

Cut to a blurry shot of Spike, standing and looking at something towards the camera.

Cut to a blurry shot of Buffy (or is it the FE?), standing in the Summers' basement.

Quick cut to a shot of the Axe, lying on the gorund or a white sheet, as Buffy runs her hands over it.

Cut to a blurry shot of Buffy talking to the troops in the living room.

We then get a blurry close up of one of the Uber-Vamps, as it growls.

There is a brief shot of a very blurry shot of something (maybe the FE in its true form), but there is no way I can tell for sure with the mess on screen.

Then we get three or four shots of just some blurry, streaky colors, before we settle in on Willow, eyes wide open and with a smile on her face. Her hair (including her eyebrows) is totally white, and Willow herself begins to glow and the entire screen becomes white.

Narrator: The earth-shattering series finale.

Cut back to the cave scene, where we see Buffy swing her Axe, while other UberVamps are in the background, fighting the Potentials.

Pull way back to see Buffy's swing connect with 3 Turok-Han, as they fly backward and fall into the pit.

Cut to a shot of many Turok-Han clambering up cave walls, and then a close up of one of the Ubervamps hits the screen.

We then see a shot of multiple Ubervamps (5-6) charging up an incline in the cave. Some of the Turok-Han are carrying spears.

Amidst the melee, we see Buffy kick an Ubervamp in the face.

Cut to a shot of Spike, head tilted up, looking at something off-screen. He has a slight smile on his face, and is lit by a bright light from above.

Spike: "I want to see how it ends."

An extreme close-up of Willow's face (hair color=red) overlaps and fades in.

That shot fades to black, then we fade in on an Ubervamp coming out of the shadows.

Cut to a shot of Chou-an slicing an Ubervamp's face with her axe.

Fade to black, then fade in on a shot of the Excalibraxe in mid-air.

Fade to black, then fade in on Spike inside the cave. He is screaming as he looks up towards the ceiling. He is wearing an amulet around his neck.

Fade to black, then fade back in on the Axe, still flying in the air (but not spinning).

Cut to a shot of Buffy, bruised and with a cut over her left eye, as she catches the Axe and holds it poised for striking.

Cut to a side shot, as we see Ubervamps charge the gang. Buffy is in the foreground and brings the Axe back, then stabs an Ubervamp with the stake end and the Ubervamp is dusted.

Fade out on a shot of storm clouds issuing lightning.

Narrator: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, sponsored in part by Acuvue contact lenses.
