Synopsis:
Buffy reluctantly teams with Spike to slug it out with a gigantic
worm, but there's a bigger surprise in store for the Slayer.
Soon after Buffy reports for her first day as Sunnydale High's
student counselor, Xander introduces her to a woman whose dog
was eaten by the oversized annelid. Suspecting demon activity,
Buffy volunteers to find the creature, and Spike, who's being
tormented by an unknown force, shows up to offer his assistance.
Willow, meanwhile, prepares to return home.
