Notes: Buffy's infected with demon telepathy & overhears plans for a school massacre. Plot Highlights: Buffy worries Angel enjoyed playing bad w/ Faith. Buffy is infected & starts hearing thoughts. She tries & fails to read Angel. She collapses in the cafeteria, overwhelmed, after hearing a massacre threat. The gang interviews likely suspects, eventually targeting Jonathan. Angel brings Buffy the demon's heart, which cures her, but not before she learns that Giles & her mother had sex. Recovered, she stops Jonathan (suicide attempt), but Xander IDs the lunch lady as the real killer (poison jello).

NOTES ON EPISODE ART: CREATED 03/2003 ~I decided I wanted to focus on Buffy's travails rather than show Jonathan or the lunch lady, though I'm hoping the clock-tower, in addition to being pretty, is a solid reminder of how the episode ends. I selected the other caps, all with a nice indirect gaze -- Giles mirroring Angel -- and blended them together. I used a few other caps to add a bit of texture here and there, then played with the colors. Caps used in this collage are courtesy of buffyverse.info & Jessica's Captures. Many thanks!
