Buffy meets the Shadow Men and learns more about the Slayer Origins.Plot Highlights:
Spike & Anya go for drinks, but Anya is attacked. Wood gives Buffy his mother's emergency kit, then meets Andrew, Kennedy & the potentials, and Willow. Wood needles Spike in the basement. Buffy & Dawn find Chloe, dead, and chat with the First. Buffy accuses everyone of being deadweight. Shadow-casters tell the tale of the first Slayer, open a portal for Buffy to jump through. The exchange demon wreaks havoc. Scoobies plot and plan to get Buffy back. Shadow men are cryptic, then sic Inky Demon Energy on Buffy. Spike retrieves his duster, defeats the exchange demon. Willow drains Kennedy & Anya of power to re-open the portal. Buffy refuses the Demon Energy, takes down the Shadow Men, returns home. Kennedy has issues with Willow. Buffy tells Willow she thinks she made a mistake. Buffy has a vision of an army of ubervamps. Memorable Moments:
- Buffy's cognizance of the odd way her life seem to get more exciting during sweeps and then come to a head in May for a spectacular annual finish.
- Andrew the "guestage", victim of a vicious funnelcake, and ridiculously proud of his white board.
- Wood and Spike doing the testosterone tango in the basement.
- Spike calling Buffy on her speechifying, Buffy calling Spike on his nonbadassness
- Creepy Shadow Puppets of Doom
- Spike resuming his duster, strutting out past Wood (though, come on, how the hell did it get to the school basement? contrived much?)
- Buffy rejecting the Shadow Men's "gift", calling a spade a spade RE: the original Slayer's creation...
- Kennedy suddenly realizing that Super Powerful Willow is not such a good thing.
