In Istanbul a girl is stabbed by robed assassins. In Sunnydale, Buffy tutors Dawn on fighting--which will come in handy because Dawn is starting school at the new Sunnydale High, built on the site of the old one, which is above the hellmouth. In England, Willow talks with Giles about her powers, says everything is connected, and the hellmouth will reopen. Anya has a lack of interest in granting vengeance wishes. Dawn is attacked by zombies in the school's basement. Buffy dives in to help--and runs into a disheveled, insane Spike, who tells Buffy the zombies are controlled by a talisman. Buffy sends Xander to get rid of the talisman, then leaves Spike to rescue Dawn. Xander breaks the talisman and the zombies disappear. Later on, the new principal offers Buffy a job as a outreach counselor and Buffy accepts. Down in the basement, Spike is tormented by a being that morphs into prior villains--and the final morph is Buffy, telling him the coming struggle isn't about right or wrong, it's about power.
