Who Are You (2 of 2)
Written and Directed by Joss Whedon
IMPORTANT NOTE: Because of the body switch, Buffy and Faith will be referred to by the character they are rather than the body they're in. It may read more confusing than it appears on screen.
In Buffy's body, Faith stands by Joyce while Buffy is carried away by an ambulance. The police know how dangerous she is. Joyce and Faith talk about the evil Slayer and then Faith goes up to take a bath. She tries to get used to her new body, and practices phrases she thinks Buffy would say. Willow and Tara talk about Faith, and Tara confesses that she belongs to Willow. Faith gets dressed up in leather and after buying a plane ticket with Joyce's credit card, then goes out to meet the gang.
Buffy is being taken away by the police but an armored truck runs into the cop car and the leather-clad members of the Watcher's council jump out, free Buffy and put her in the back of the armored truck. Giles informs the gang that a special team of Watcher Council members have taken Faith's body and will bring her back to England. Faith is dancing away at the Bronze and runs into a vampire. After he identifies himself as Spike, Faith has fun, speaking to him seductively and teasing him ruthlessly.
A group of vampires return to their lair to see that Adam is there. Adam learns about what the vampires fear, concluding that vampires are a paradox. Buffy wakes up chained in the back of a truck with the council members. She tries to convince them that her body has been switched with the other Slayer, but she is merely a package for them to deliver. At the Bronze, Willow introduces Tara to Faith and when Willow goes to get drinks, Faith is incredibly rude to Willow's new friend. Willow returns and points out a vampire with a girl, which Faith reluctantly goes to slay it.
One of the council members, Smith enters the truck where Buffy is and she attacks him. However, the other members, Collins and Weatherby don't seem to care as long as their mission is successful. Tara explains to Willow that Buffy wasn't Buffy because her energy was different. With a ring of Buffy's, Willow and Tara plan to perform a ritual to cross to the Nether Realm and find Buffy's real energy. Faith visits Riley and tries to seduce him with her bad girl attitude, but he's not buying it. Just as she's about to leave though, he stops her and kisses her.
When Riley says he loves Buffy, Faith freaks out and tries to get away. Adam instructs the vampires on how to face their fears and tell them to face their greatest fear of all. Forrest and Faith have a confrontation as Faith leaves Riley's room. When the council realizes that they won't be able to get the dangerous Slayer to England, they go to kill her. She is prepared though and after using Collins's gun to break her chains, and the lock on the door, she gets in the driver seat and drives the armored truck away.
Faith gets her boarding pass for a plane. Buffy arrives at Giles's place and tells him about him turning into a demon and his having sex with her mother which convinces him that she's really Buffy and not Faith. Willow and Tara arrive and have created a katra that will switch Buffy and Faith back if they make contact again. After turning on the TV they see that the group of vampires are holding hostages at a church. At the airport, Faith sees this on TV and then goes to the church as well. Riley arrives and wants to help, but Faith reminds him of his injury and he stays outside.
Faith challenges the vampires inside, and as the last one is hitting Faith, Buffy stakes him from behind. The two Slayers fight and Faith lets out her anger towards Buffy and herself. Buffy grabs Faith's hand and the two switch back to their own bodies. The real Faith runs away and is gone without a trace. The next day, Buffy and Riley talk and Buffy realizes that Riley had sex with her while Faith was in her body. Faith leaves town in a cargo car of a train.
