Episode 6: All the Way

Written by Steve DeKnight

It's Halloween at the Magic Shop. Xander is trying to scare children with his pirate costume, Willow is facing stereotypes of witches, and Dawn is stealing stuff again.

Later, Dawn sneaks out by claiming she is going to a friend's house. Her friend Janice pulls the same trick and they head out to meet some boys, Zach and Justin. Teenage dating rituals abound as Janice asks Dawn if she likes Justin, and Zach asks Justin if he likes Dawn and wants to go "all the way." The four go out and make general tennage mischielf (egg throwing, pumpkin smashing). They end up at the home of the local eccentric, where they are invited in. The old man is spooky, and Justin goes into he kitchen with him to get a "surprise." The surprise is on the old man as Justin vamps out on him. They leave the house with Justin claiming he stole the man's wallet. Zach carjacks a car, and the four go joyriding. Later, Dawn and Justin kiss.

Meanwhile, it looks like an engagement party for Xander and Anya at Buffy's house. Giles talks with Xander about responsibility, and it looks like Xander is getting cold feet. Buffy seems depressed and tells Xander she's leaving to take Spike up on his earlier offer to patrol. On her way to Spike's she sees a couple kissing and seems longing.

Giles learns that Dawn is not at Janice's. Later, he, Spike and Buffy end up at what seems to be a makeout place fighting vamps. Dawn and Buffy have an exchange about dating vampires.
