Episode 13: Dead Things
Written by Steve DeKnight

After having sex, Buffy and Spike have post-sex talk ranging from the decoration of his crypt to her feelings for him. Spike pulls out some handcuffs and asks her if she trusts him. Buffy says, "never."

Using a mind-control gadget, the Troika make Katrina, Warren's ex-girlfriend, their slave, possibly sex slave.

Xander teaches Dawn to dance.


Buffy asks Tara to look into the resurrection spell and find out how she came back wrong.

Buffy rubs her wrists and we see that she has cuff-marks, thus suggesting that she let Spike handcuff her. She also goes to the Bronze with her friends. While there, she runs into Spike and they have sex in the shadows upstairs at the Bronze. Buffy feels bad about this.

When the mind control on Katrina begins to wear off, she tries to escape, and Warren accidentally kills her. The Troika use magic to make Buffy think that she has killed Katrina. Jonathan seems to have doubts.

After the incident with Katrina, Buffy is appalled. Spike comforts her and takes her home. In her bedroom, they have sex again. That night, Buffy has disturbing dreams.


Buffy wants to confess to killing Katrina, but Spike won't let her. They have a confrontation where she beats him up. Later, she discusses with Tara the results of Tara's analysis of the resurrection spell. Tara's information upsets Buffy greatly, and Buffy breaks down crying, confessing her relationship with Spike to Tara.
