Buffy and Spike each individually go a round with the UberVamp.

Plot Highlights:

Napping Buffy sees Joyce. The First, in Dru's form, sics the UberVamp on Spike. Anya & Dawn wake Andrew. Fieldtrip to the basement. Running into Principal Wood with a shovel. Willow's locator spell blows up. Giles shows up, 3 proto-slayers in tow. British invasion chaos chez Summers. Buffy tracks the UberVamp, nearly loses, escapes. Verbal sparring with Principal Wood. Joyce appears to napping Buffy again. Willow apologizes. Andrew ponders his alliances. One of the protos bolts, Buffy arrives too late, and gets pounded by the Ubervamp. Spike choses sides. Buffy gives a defiant, rousing speech to the Scooby corps.

Memorable Moments:

  • Giles and Buffy walking somberly amidst the cheery Christmas frippery; Buffy's asking him if he could come on a normal visit some day.
  • Andrew funniness: being splashed with water by Anya & Dawn, sharing a comic-geek moment with Xander, identifying Buffy's leadership qualities (shiny hair) and prattling on about having just stepped over to the darkside to pick up a few things.
  • Vision-Joyce giving Holland Manner's (from AtS) speech about evil being in everyone and reprising her own demon-influenced trai of throught from Gingerbread.
  • Spike's rejection of the First/Dru's persuasive tactics with a "get bent" and his follow up declaration that he knows he can be good because Buffy believes in him. (bonus points for the existential thought/Paris bit!)
  • Buffy's stirring (if vague!) speech vowing to take the initiative in fighting the First.
