Dawn confides to a school guidance counselor her wish that the people in her life would stop leaving her, not knowing that the counselor is Halfrek, a vengeance demon. Later, the gang throws a big bash for Buffy's 21st birthday, which goes off trouble-free despite Spike's unexpected arrival. But while the party is in full swing, Halfrek casts her spell and no one is able to leave the house. Naturally, this leads to some tensions. Dawn is surly with Buffy, Willow and Tara deal with addiction fall-out, Xander comforts Anya, Buffy and Spike secretly flirt, and Dawn's stealing is finally revealed. Worse yet, a deadly demon is also trapped in the house, and causes some damage before being defeated by Buffy, Spike, and Anya. Anya realizes who's behind the house spell, and summons Halfrek to release them. Before lifting her spell, Halfrek--who recognizes Spike as "William"--chastises Buffy and her friends for neglecting Dawn.
