In truth, she had been expelled from the Watchers’ Council for misuses of dark power. She put Giles in hospital, and tried to fry Willow and Faith with the glove. As there was no way to remove the glove once she had put it on, Buffy severed Mrs Post’s arm. Gwendolyn was then killed by magical lightning. Post-fumigation Party: party at The Bronze after the annual cockroach fumigation has been completed.

(The soldiers there had all been fed drugs to make them stronger and faster.) When the inevitable battle was over, Professor Walsh and Doctor Angleman would have plenty of human and demon bodies from which to create a new army of super warriors. See also enjoining spell.
