Buffy The Vampire Slayer: S1E11

This is the episode where Cordelia starts to drift toward the Scooby gang.  She intentionally seeks them out for protection against her invisible assailant and even attempts to thank them properly at the end of the episode.  We get to see a softer, more vulnerable, side to Cordelia Chase when she talks about being alone in a crowd.  This is definitely where we start to see the change in her character that will lead her to further development in the Angel series.  (We also get Angel back in the series, delivering an ancient text that will play heavily in the final episode of the season.)

I also think this episode really drives home the problems of popularity in high school.  Though it takes it to an extreme, where even the teachers ignore Marcie, I think everyone can identify with that feeling of invisibility at one point or another in his or her life.
