Episode 11: Showtime
Written by David Fury

Buffy picks up--and saves from the Bringers--another Potential Slayer, Rona. They return back to the house to find everyone, including three new Potentials, Eve, Vi and Chloe, awake and discussing the situation. Giles suggests going to an oracle for information. Meanwhile, Spike escapes the First and finds Buffy--but it's only a dream. The First, in the form of Buffy, taunts Spike some more, but Spike insists Buffy will come for him. Giles and Anya visit an old flame of Anya's, Torg, because only a demon can open a gateway to the oracle. While Buffy decides to release Andrew from the ropes, as long as he doesn't run, Willow learns another Potential has come to town. Buffy and Xander go to find her. The Potentials are scared, nervous, and demoralized, and the situation becomes worse when Buffy and Xander find the dead body of one of the Potentials in a motel room and rush back to confront her. But they can do nothing as the First dematerializes. Meanwhile, Giles and Anya find out from the oracle that there is a vulnerability in the Slayer line caused by the Slayer. Giles interprets this to mean that Buffy's resurrection was what caused the vulnerability. Anya feels guilty. Back at the Summers' home, everyone is in an uproar worrying about the coming night. Buffy asks Willow to create a magical barrier to protect them from the Ubervamp. The Ubervamp arrives and attacks. Willow's magical barrier can barely hold, so Buffy urges them all to run. They split up, hoping the Ubervamp will follow Buffy, but it follows the others. Xander has led them to a construction pit where the Ubervamp finds them. But Buffy is there and tells the Ubervamp that they will fight to the death there, and Buffy kills the Ubervamp, impressing the Potentials. Buffy gives another inspiring speech about how they will defeat the First. Later, Spike is alone, bound to the wall, when Buffy arrives. At first he thinks it is the First, but then he realizes it is Buffy, who has come for him. She cuts him down and supports him as they walk away.
