I, Robot -- You, Jane
Written by Ashley Gable & Thomas A. Swyden ~ Directed by Stephen Posey
In Cartona Italy, 1418 a demon called Moloch the Corrupter is controlling the mind of a young man before him and then he snaps his neck. Meanwhile, a group of monks are performing a spell to trap Moloch in a large book. As the spell takes effect and Moloch is slowly sucked into the book, words appear on the pages. The book is closed, placed and a box, and the box is sealed.
Back in the present, Buffy opens the box and pulls out the book. Ms. Calendar, the school computer science teacher is helping Giles scan books into the computers along with some of her students Fritz and Dave. Moloch's book is placed in Willow's pile. Everyone leaves but Willow stays late to scan a few more books. One of which happens to be the book containing Moloch, which if the pages are read he will be set free. When she turns away from the screen, "Where am I?" appears on the computer screen.
Later that week, Buffy notices Willow's strange behavior. She says that she met a guy named Malcolm on the Internet. Buffy is a bit worried that Willow is so worked up over some guy she met on the net who could be just about anyone. She goes to Dave for help but he tells her to leave Willow alone. Buffy takes his weird behavior as a hint to find out what he's up to. She follows him to a computer research building, which supposedly has been shut down for a long time. However, the place was crawling with people working. Plans are made for Buffy and Xander to go and find out more about this place.
In the computer lab, Willow is talking to Malcolm on the computer but quickly ends their conversation when he mentions Buffy's expulsion. Willow never informed him of this and she is scared that he knows. When Buffy arrives at the lab searching for Willow, Dave tells her that Willow is waiting in the Girls' locker room for her. Fritz is in the locker room rigging up a trap for Buffy to be electrocuted by setting live wires in a shower stall. He turns on the water just as Buffy arrives and then leaves. Dave arrives to warn Buffy but the water hits the wires and sends her flying across the room before she can get away. Dave hurries back to the computer lab where he tells Moloch that he won't do his dirty work anymore but Moloch responds with a suicide note for him. Fritz is in the room as well, ready to kill Dave.
When Buffy heads back to the lab to talk to Dave, she finds his body hanging from the ceiling with his suicide note. Back at the library, Giles figures out what is going on while Buffy makes the connection that Moloch is Malcolm. She and Xander rush to save Willow but they are too late. Fritz arrived earlier, knocked her out, and took her away to the research facility. Moloch now has a robotic form, which was made by his followers. He kills Fritz and then prepares to kill Willow when she refuses to join him. A sudden jolt stops him from killing Willow and Buffy and Xander finally break through just in time. They start fighting and Willow manages to escape from Moloch.
Meanwhile at the library, Giles has asked Ms. Calendar for help with stopping Moloch. She reveals her knowledge of all the mystical stuff around Sunnydale and Giles tells her of Buffy being the slayer. Ms. Calendar then gets on the computer to form an energy circle so they can perform the ritual to stop him. The spell works except instead of sending him back to the book, it traps him in his robot body. Moloch is infuriated at this and attacks Buffy. Willow saves her by hitting him with a fire extinguisher. He knocks her aside and then Buffy manages to trick him into hitting an electrical box. He short-circuits and then blows up.
