I improved upon that scene even more, made it shorter, more elegant and efficient
I also made a change to the party scene on the beach that follows and let Buffy be there also staring thoughtfully out into the sea which emphasises her thinking about her future that is the main topic of this second movie.
Regarding the last movie:
by removing the references "What happened?", "You are a pervert?".. and placed the flashback at the moment Xander and Cordelia enter that room to talk, which fits much better with the flow.

Regarding the last movie:
After Angel killed Jenny at the end of the third movie and the funeral of Jenny, I let the third movie start with a flashback showing how Angel got turned into a vampire by Drusilla and then I show the occultic stone that was found, where that portal demon is inside. That's how the big finale starts, but before it gets to its climax, Buffy and Angel have to get through the poltergeist-experience of "I only have eyes for you" that further provokes Angel to put an end to everything...
While forming the story arc of the last movie I also got rid of some awful little scenes:
1. Buffy saying to that vampire she's slaying: "Tell Angel..."
2. Xander retelling the slaying with fish fingers in the school-cafeteria.
3. When spike and Buffy meet Buffy's mother in front of her home and suddenly a vampire (not Spike) jumps out of the shadows on them, I changed the scene a little. In the original he would jump in front of Buffy's mother and then do just nothing just to scare her, which was just ridiculous. So I let it seem like he is jumping on Buffy and Spike and she immediately reacts and fights him together with Spike.
Still I made sure that Buffy's mother gets to see clearly that it is vampire and I let her scared reaction be shown, so nothing of the impact of the scene is lost, except for the ridiculous behaviour of the attacking vampire.
