In 4.20 The Yoko Factor, Giles is seen singing “Freebird”. He sings the lines:
“If I leave here tomorrow, will you still remember me?”
Clearly, leaving is on his mind, as three episodes later it becomes clear of his intentions to leave Sunnydale, in 5.01 Buffy Vs Dracula. However, he lets his plans go when Buffy tells him she wants him to be her Watcher again.
Giles plans to leave don’t stop there, though. He gets on a plane to England in 6.01 Bargaining (Part One). Though he does make a short return to Sunnydale in 6.04 Flooded, he flies off for England again in 6.08 Tabula Rasa.
Giles makes a brief teleportation back to America in 6.21 Two To Go, to stop Willow’s rampage, and returns shortly thereafter to England with a very depressed Willow in tow.
Finally, his plans to stay in England die hard when he returns to Sunnydale for the duration of the series in 7.10 Bring On The Night.
