Synopsis:
With the Slayer line of succession at stake, Buffy prepares
for a showdown with the Ubervamp in this pivotal, well-written
episode. Skeletal, callous and frighteningly strong, the Ubervamp
is among Buffy's deadliest foes. Chief minion of the devilish,
shape-shifting First, the demon divides his time between killing
potential Slayers and torturing the kidnapped Spike. Determined
to protect her apprentices and rescue Spike, Buffy racks her
brain for a plan of action while Giles and Anya hope that a
visionary creature called Beljoxa's Eye can offer a final solution
to the First threat.
