Previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Dawn, what happened here? I saw Mom.
It's the big bad, Dawn. The one we knew was coming.
I believe in you, Spike.
[ Buffy ] They were after Spike all along. We know what we're up against: The First.
[ First/Buffy ] Now, Spike, you want to see what a real vampire looks like?
[ Giles ] As Neanderthals are to human beings, the Turok-Han are to vampires.
Ferociously powerful killing machines, as single-minded as animals.
They are the vampires that vampires fear.
Nice place. Bit of a mess.
[ Dawn ] They're all Slayers?
[ Giles ] Potential Slayers, waiting for one to be called.
There were many more like them all over the world, but, um,
now there's just a handful, and they're all on their way to Sunnydale.
[ Kennedy ] How many girls arriving today?
[ Willow ] Just one.
But since Giles has the coven searching for other Slayers-in-waiting,
I bet we'll be seeing a lot more soon enough.
- Rona, right? - You're her.
Another potential arrived in town the day before yesterday.
She's cold. Been dead for days.
[ Xander ] Poor kid. She made it all the way to Sunnydale just to get herself killed.
- [ Buffy ] Eve. - [ Xander ] Eve, who's in our house?
- Get away from them. - Buffy, what did Eve do? - That's not Eve.
One more down. Oh, well. Can't save them all, can you, Buffy?
Bye.
[ Buffy ] I don't know what's coming next.
But I do know it's gonna be just like this.
Hard.
Painful.
Believe it. We'll be the ones left standing.
[ Sighs ]
Ohh.
[ Twig Snapping ]
[ Growling ]
[ Screams ]
[ Whimpers ] Okay.
These two are dead. Why?
'Cause the black chick always gets it first?
- Ow. - [ Buffy ] What was that, Rona?
I'm dead because he's a vampire.
I don't have Slayer strength, Slayer speed.
- It wasn't a fair fight. - [ Spike ] Vi.
Do you think I care if it's a fair fight? No. No. No, sir.
You don't play by the rules,
and I have learned a valuable lesson of some sort.
- Ow. - Okay, Spike.
You're right.
You don't have Slayer strength,
but that doesn't mean that you're not strong.
- You have inherent abilities that others do not have. - Not like you do.
No, not yet, but it's there.
You have the potential.
You have strength, speed, instinct.
You just have to learn to trust yourself. Rona.
What did your instincts tell you to do just then?
Block his attack, keep him off balance,
gain the advantage.
- No, they didn't. - They told me to run.
- Vi? - They told me to run.
They're still sort of telling me to run.
Don't fight on his terms. Your gut's telling you to run, run.
Regain the higher ground. Make the fight your own.
Spike, what did your instincts tell you to do just then?
Hunt. Kill.
Come at me, full speed.
He needs to kill to live.
- That tells you everything you need to know. - [ Growling ]
Instinct. Understand his, but trust yours.
- You were chosen for a reason. - [ Grunts, Gulps ]
- A-Are you okay? - Fine.
Couple of ribs ain't quite set right since-- I'm fine.
Let me see. Spike. No.
Buffy. I'm okay.
I'm gonna be okay.
That's hot.
So we're supposed to, like, make out with him or something?
Careful, Buffy.
Just when you think it's part of the lesson, he'll... hurt your arm.
Molly, Kennedy, let's go. You're up. Next lesson.
[ Potentials Chattering ] [ Rona ] One-armed push-ups are bull.
[ Kennedy ] I can do 'em. [ Vi ] Bananas.
[ Rona ] I'm more of a chin-up kind of girl. I can do chin-ups till the cows come home.
I can do the kind where you clap between. [ Laughing ]
You're all gonna die, but you knew that already.
'Cause that's the cool reward for being human.
The big dessert at the end of the meal.
Don't kid yourselves, you guys.
This whole thing is all about death.
You think you're different 'cause you might be the next Slayer?
Death is what a Slayer breathes,
what a Slayer dreams about when she sleeps.
Death is what a Slayer lives.
My death could make you the next Slayer.
Oh, goody. Rapt attention.
I love that so much.
Now, where was I?
Ah. [ Clattering ]
If we go with what Anya's resources are telling us,
then the First is in remission for a while, which we think means advantage us.
What does that mean, about the First?
Best we can tell,
he, or more precisely, it...
was putting a lot of stock in that ubervamp thing, the Chaka Khan.
Turok-Han?
So when I kicked its ass, the whole Firsty circus decided to back off for a while.
Good news?
It means you probably don't have to worry about it pulling Spike's strings for a while.
Here's the half empty.
Time away means time to regroup,
and part of that regrouping is coming back stronger than ever.
The odds are against us.
Time is against us.
And some of us will die in this battle.
Decide now that it's not going to be you.
I know you're all tired,
far away from home, anxious.
But you're all special.
Most people in this world have no idea why they're here...
or what they want to do.
You do.
You have a mission,
a reason for being here.
You're not here by chance.
You're here because you are the Chosen Ones.
Dawn, you'd better hurry up and eat something so you're not late for school.
[ Bell Ringing ]
Xander, I know. I'm sorry.
If you're gonna take a shower at my house, lock the door.
Of course they're curious.
[ No Dialogue ]
Hey, I gotta go. Uh, has Giles checked in yet?
I thought he was picking up that Chao-Ahn girl in Shanghai yesterday.
Okay. Well, let me know if he does. Bye.
[ Sighs ] Amanda, right?
I'm all yours. Do people ever think you're weird?
Uh, I guess.
Sure, in a charming, endearing, lovable--
Yeah.
I feel like people think I'm weird.
So they pick on me. But I might be. Weird.
Amanda, why do you think that you're weird?
Well, one of the boys who picks on me,
I kind of--
See, if a guy picks on you,
is it weird to think he's cute?
Oh. [ Chuckles ]
It's just the last few times I've seen him,
I've wanted to, you know,
pick on him extra, more.
Uh-huh.
The thing is, I can't tell.
My mom says when a guy teases you, it means he likes you.
Sometimes that's true. Is it weird?
We're mean to each other, and we like each other.
Well, it depends.
Sometimes that's how people relate--
being mean to each other.
Even mortal enemies.
Then with the-- And that leads to no good.
Absolutely no good. And much confusion.
And then it's over, absolutely, seriously, definitely over.
That's confusing too, the over part.
Which it is-- over.
So... maybe.
[ Loud Arguing ]
There might be a more appropriate place to do that,
like maybe outside, in a different state.
Why do we always have to yell?
I was only gone a couple of hours.
Buffy. Hey, everybody, look. It's Willow.
Perhaps with a blunt weapon of some sort.
Buffy, we just got news.
And she's sure? Positive.
Althenea said the seers located another potential Slayer here in Sunnydale,
someone that already lives here.
[ Sighs ] Oh, God.
These girls flocking to town, and this one's already here right under our noses.
Wait. The seers couldn't find out her name or, like, her address or anything?
Am I getting the definition of "seer" wrong?
I was going to take the girls out tonight for a little show and tell,
but maybe now I shouldn't.
They were so excited. You're gonna break their little hearts.
This town is lousy with Bringers.
I don't want to risk that they find this new girl first.
No, you should go. I can do a spell to find her tonight.
I just have to get together a few ingredients.
But you shouldn't skip your training. It's too important.
You think you can handle it?
- No problemo. - Yeah, you guys have more important things to do.
Okay. I'll take 'em.
Yes!
Andrew, you're not going.
Ooh, crossbow. Gotta love it.
Feels like I'm storming a castle.
You do a lot of that? I might if I had a beauty like this.
Halt!
- See, that's why we don't point the weapons in the kitchen. - It's not loaded.
That's always the lead quote under the headline, "Household Crossbow Accident Claims Teen."
- Oh, a mace. - Yeah, that's better.
Gotta go with the stake. It's classic.
I like the feel of wood in my hand. Lost me there.
Hey, are we gearing up already?
Oh, right. You guys are going on your little group patrol.
It's more than that. It's an outing.
I'm thinking tonight we might actually get to kill things.
- I've killed things sometimes. - I'm not begging.
You're like a small dog dancing for Snausages.
- You don't want me coming along 'cause you think I'm evil. - He doesn't seem evil, exactly.
He's not evil, but when he gets close to it,
he picks up its flavor like a mushroom or something.
But I'm reformed. I'm like Vegeta on Dragon Ball Z.
I used to be a pure Saiyan, and now I fight on the side of Goku.
Still not coming.
It's not fair. Spike has killed people, and he gets to go.
Spike didn't have free will. You did.
[ Sighs ] I hate my free will.
- This where you're all hiding. We ready to go or what? - Hey, Spike!
Let's go, girls. Grab your weapons.
[ Rona ] All right, let's do it. [ Kennedy ] Okay.
[ Rona ] I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready to kick some serious--
You want to play Dragon Ball Z?
Okay, I got my tumbleweed, my eggs.
Got my chrysalises.
Chrysali?
My butterfly transformer pods.
Hey, where is my snakeskin?
At your s-s-service, Miss Rosenberg,
s-s-s-sir.
Can you imagine if every once in a while, people wriggled out of their skin...
and left it behind them, like, on the sidewalk?
Talk about embarrassing.
Hey, do you think this girl, uh, this Potential, goes to Sunnydale?
Hmm. Well, I guess probably, huh?
I mean, she's gotta be about that age.
Could be anybody. Could be that glamazon in gym class.
What's her name?
Oh, my lab partner, Margo, the freak.
I hope not, because she totally fainted right in the middle of our fetal pig dissection.
Somehow I just don't think she's cut out for the slayage biz.
Killing pigs is just so wrong. And also hard.
Well, we'll know soon enough who the next Potential is.
Somebody's life is about to change.
How long will it take? Will you find out who it is right away?
Pretty much. The spell will conjure up this brilliant light.
And the light will find the Potential,
and it will illuminate her with a glowing aura.
- Cool. - I've enchanted this map...
so that we can track her basic location.
We'll have to hotfoot it, but I'm betting we find her tonight.
You know, if it is Margo,
she's so gonna faint.
To light the aura of the new, skin of snake and chrysalis too.
To indicate the fresh reborn,
tumbleweed and rosebush thorn.
An egg that means the life to come.
Take this, oh spirits, and my spell is done.
[ Coughing ]
Oh, good God! What is that smell?
Fairly sure that's the smell of a hard-boiled egg being thrown into a fire.
- Uh-huh. - The smell will lead us to the Potential.
Or some poor soul who ate too many chimichangas.
She'll also be lit with a-- a brilliant aura.
Is it supposed to be shimmying all over like that?
I don't know. I don't think so.
[ Anya ] So you messed up a spell again.
At least it smells otherworldly.
No, look. Pretty.
[ Sighs ] I suck.
I'm sorry, you guys.
Maybe we could figure something out on the computer.
Good call. I'm gonna open the door and let this place air out.
Don't worry, Wil. It's really no big.
I just-- I was sure that it was gonna work.
- [ Whooshing Sound ] - [ Willow ] Dawn!
[ Grunting ]
I think it worked.
[ Xander ] Dawn!
Dawn, are you okay?
Maybe y-you did it wrong?
Was it ambiguous in any way?
Did you maybe say "potential sailors"? 'Cause I do like the water.
I did it right. Wow. She-- You're a Potential.
You could be the next Slayer.
Oh. Wow.
It's like one second you were this klutzy teenager with fake memories...
and a history of kleptomania.
Then suddenly you're a hero, a hero with a much abbreviated life-span.
This is huge! We have to think about this.
I can't think about this. It doesn't fit in my head.
A Slayer. Makes sense, I guess.
Remember that thing about they share the same blood or whatever?
Yeah, I never got that.
She has to die.
I mean, if I was ever the Slayer, it would mean she died.
Well, it's a lot like being the pope in that way,
except you don't have to be some old Catholic.
We've gotta call Buffy. She's gonna be so excited.
No, we can't. She didn't bring her cell phone.
Well, sure, 'cause all the important people are with her.
- You're important now. - Wh-What happens now?
Well, you could start by maybe sitting still for a sec.
[ Sighs ] I can't. I need to know what happens to my life.
- I guess Buffy trains you. - Right.
I train with the Potentials, o-other Potentials,
learn to do the stuff they're learning.
We also have to protect you from the, uh, eyeless guys,
the ones with the sharp, sharp knives.
- Bringers. - It's okay. We'll protect you.
- What if they saw the spell? - Saw the spell?
Dawn, they can't see flash cards. Big ones.
We did a big, orange, powerful spell.
What if they sensed it? What if they're on their way?
Are we gonna replace the microwave? I was thinking Orville Redenbacher with butter.
- What's going on? - Dawn's gonna be a Slayer.
Holy crap! Excuse me.
Plucked from an ordinary life, handed a destiny?
- Say "Skywalker," and I smack you. - Does Buffy know?
She didn't take her phone.
- Incommunicado. - Well, we'll tell her as soon as she gets back.
- Let's not. - What? Dawn, she has to know.
I-I know. Just not right away.
Guys, when Mom appeared to me, she said--
- Dawnie. - No. Please.
She said something about Buffy, and I'm thinking...
I'm just not so sure Buffy will be happy for me.
- Of course she will. - Will she?
I'm not even sure I'm happy for me. Everything's different for me now.
That's because you're a part of something larger, like being swallowed...
by something larger.
This-- This is too much for my head again.
I-I can't-- I need to be--
Nice job with the getting-swallowed analogy.
It is a mixed bag, you know.
If she gets to be the Slayer, then her life is short and brutal.
And if she doesn't, then it smells of unfulfilled potential.
- My swallowed analogy looks pretty sweet right now. - It's not like that.
It's like she's part of this huge power.
I know what that feels like. It feels wonderful.
Yes, Willow so captured it. It's like--
Well, it's almost like this metaphor for womanhood, isn't it?
The sort of flowering that happens when a girl realizes...
that she's part of a fertile heritage stretching back to Eve and--
I'll pay you to talk about Star Wars again.
This isn't about womanly power.
This is about the fact that Dawn might have bought herself an early death.
We don't know that. Right. All we know is that everything just changed.
[ Willow ] Why don't you go find Buffy? I still think she needs to know.
[ Xander ] What if she doesn't like it?
[ Willow ] Are you worried about what Dawn said, about the ghost?
We don't even know if that really was Joyce. We don't know what she meant about Buffy.
I'm not talking about that. What do you think Buffy's gonna do with this information?
Jump up and down, teach Dawn the secret handshake? She knows what this means.
Short, brutal life. Sharp, sharp knives. I covered this.
Right. You think Buffy really wants that for Dawn?
And besides, Dawn doesn't want any of us telling her yet.
[ Willow ] Dawn's freaking out. Her input--not worth that much right now.
[ Anya ] She's a child. Of course she can't handle this.
[ Xander ] Something out there said she could handle this and a hell of a lot more.
Something out there chose her. I'm chosen.
[ Willow ] She can handle it. Is that why she's hiding in her room right now?
[ Xander ] She's just getting used to it. Let it happen.
She doesn't have to rush. [ Anya ] He's right.
We shouldn't rush her.
Rushing's only gonna get her killed.
[ Male Voice Laughing ] Take that!
[ Rona ] This is a bar. Best damn field trip I ever took.
Look, they're all-- they're demons.
It's a demon bar.
It's like a gay bar, only with demons. Spike!
Long time.
Nice of you to bring snacks.
Touch them and lose your privates.
- I didn't like him. - Nice job of blending in, girls.
We're 15-year-olds in a demon bar. How much blending did you think we were gonna do?
Look, it's okay. Usually, you come to a place like this, you want to be seen.
You want to scare someone or make contact.
- Or have a strong drink? - Not usually that.
You don't drink? Sure, I do.
I mean, no. It would be wrong.
- Do they card? - Nope. Go ahead.
Down all the yak urine shots or pig's butt spritzers you like.
- Gross. - Got that right.
The prices they charge, you could get human blood straight from the body.
- Vampire. - Look, if I come here,
it's because I gotta wring information out of something large, scary, drunk,
with a room full of friends who don't care very much for the Slayer.
Remember that. Not a being in here that wouldn't gladly rip your throat out.
Buffy? Girl, how you been?
Clem! You look great, so toned.
- He's ripping out her throat right now. - It is so good to see you.
I saw this great show on the History Channel the other night that I knew you would love.
Then something went all flooey with my TiVo. Can I talk to you?
- Yeah. - You think she dated him too?
Okay, everyone. This is the girls. Howdy.
So, you girls are gonna deal with demons, huh?
Just let me tell you this.
[ All Screaming ]
I could use a shot of that yak urine right about now.
Hey.
Hey, Dawn. What you doin'?
Uh, just walking. You?
Um, yeah. Just walkin' too.
Okay. Well, have a good walk.
I guess I'll see you Monday morning? Yeah.
You all right?
Sure. Just walking, you know?
A-Are you all right? You've got a thing.
I guess I-- I had a bit of a--
It's been a bizarre night.
What happened? Who did that to you?
Uh... nobody, exactly.
I don't think you'd exactly believe me. Try me.
I was at school late because of, you know, Swing Choir.
And I tore my sweater, the striped ones we wear.
So I went to Home Sciences to sew it up. Uh-huh.
And by the time I was finished, the place was empty,
so it was all echoey and lonely and--
Then there was this guy, or thing,
and it was-- it scratched me,
and I kind of dodged it, and it kind of hit its head.
What kind of thing?
I don't know.
It was messed up.
In the face, around hereabouts.
And when it scratched at you, did it--
was it scratching with its teeth?
Is it real?
Was it really a vampire?
I bet you think I'm crazy.
I believe you.
Well, cool.
The thing is, after it hit its head, I kind of freaked out.
I trapped it in a room, and it's still there. I don't know what to do.
It's okay. This is totally dealable. Don't worry.
I was thinking of getting your sister.
You know something about my sister?
Well, I've heard people talking.
A lot of 'em think she's some kind of high-functioning schizophrenic,
but I also heard that maybe-- like maybe she could help with this kind of thing.
Do you think we should go get her?
She's out.
I'll take this one.
[ Gasping, Groans ] Whew!
I think I strained something.
Maybe something I'll need later in life. Come on.
The vampire's upstairs.
Are you spooked out? No.
I'm all right. I can do this.
It's mostly instinct, I think.
[ Slams ] [ Screams ]
[ Giggling ]
So, if he scratched me with a tooth, am I--
I'm not gonna turn into one, am I?
Only if he slashed open one of his own veins and led you to drink deep of his blood.
Nope. [ Sighs ]
Good. You're lucky he didn't hurt you way more than that.
Right. He can do that.
So, I was thinking,
we don't have to kill the vampire, do we?
What?
Uh, just suppose he got out and was maybe, like,
encouraged toward the gym while the marching band was playing.
Because the way they look down on the Swing Choir, it might be, you know, funny.
I'm just sayin'.
Well, he didn't break down the door anyway.
Yeah. Can they do that?
They're very strong, and although they feel pain,
they don't hold back because of it.
I guess you're some kind of monster expert too.
Let's just say it runs in the family.
[ Sighs ]
[ Dawn ] I thought you said it was locked.
It was.
It was here.
Amanda?
It got out.
Where'd it go?
I don't know, but we have to get out of here.
[ Screaming ]
[ Screams ]
- What are you doing? - I can never remember.
Does it have to be right side up or upside down to work? Which is it?
[ Screams ]
[ Buffy ] A vampire is an animal.
Sometimes they run in packs,
sometimes alone.
- Who can tell us where we are? - It's a nest.
- How can you tell? - Only a vamp could live like this.
Some, yeah. As a group, we're not known for our tasteful decor,
but in all fairness to the race, this place is seriously lacking in style.
Thank you, Spike. Merely saying.
He has a point.
Vampires can live anywhere, any way they want.
Tastes, fashions, living conditions-- they can vary.
The animal inside? Always the same.
Where'd you live?
What, you mean before?
A crypt, actually, but nicer.
A bit more--
I don't know if "posh" is the right word, but it was more like--
- Comfy. - Excuse me?
When did you find it comfy?
Moving on.
You want to stay alive?
You have to spot and identify a nest on sight. Look around, all of you.
Look for signs that last night maybe two dozen vampires were right where we're standing.
Go ahead.
Work, work, work. This little excursion was just in danger of being interesting.
You know something, Spike?
Interesting is not a problem.
Buffy, I think we found something.
It's a body.
It's not a body. It's leftovers.
[ Growling ]
In here!
Help. We need to barricade this.
Too small. Oh!
- [ Grunting ] - Too big.
Stay down.
- You think we're safe? - [ Growling ]
No one's safe. Not here, not ever.
- You see this guy? - He was dead a minute ago.
That was a minute ago. Now--
- Hey! - He's the enemy.
- Amanda? - Yes? - Listen.
I'm listening. We're gonna get out of this.
Both of us. Alive. [ Screams ]
- Do you believe me? - I believe you.
Good, 'cause I got a plan.
[ Buffy ] You can't think too much.
Reacting's better.
It could be the difference between staying alive and that other thing.
This plan of mine? I'm not guaranteeing it'll work.
Better than mine about him eating the marching band.
Besides, your plan will work.
[ Screams ] In case you haven't noticed, I don't know what I'm doing.
You're getting it done.
The question is never, what do you think?
It's always... what do you know?
You gotta know, 'cause if you don't, if you make one mistake--
[ Growls ] It takes just one vampire to kill you.
So you've gotta know you can take him. Know your environment.
Know what's around you and know how to use it.
In the hands of a Slayer, everything is a weapon, if you know how to see it.
When you're fighting, you have to know yourself-- your brain, your body.
Know how to stay calm, centered.
Every move is important. Every blow's gotta be part of your plan.
If you make that one mistake, then it's over.
[ Screaming ] You're not the Slayer.
You're not a Potential.
You're dead. So what do you know?
See now, the only thing you know for sure?
You got me.
[ Stake Clattering ]
Come on, sweetie. Open up.
Want me to kick down the door? Anya.
What? It'd be funny.
Besides, she's been sulking in there forever.
Ah.
[ Anya ] Crap.
Double crap. Gone.
We gotta find her before the Bringers do.
I can do a locator spell, but we've gotta hurry. And find Buffy.
- Amanda, help me! - I can't.
Amanda! [ Screaming ]
No! You don't want her!
You want me.
Amanda!
What were those? Amanda, listen to me.
You remember when you said I was special? Well, I'm not.
You're-- But the thing is, you are.
This is your battle, Amanda. No. I can't!
You can! You've got to.
Look, I've got your back, but this is something you have to do.
It's something you were born to do.
Here. This belongs to you.
Buffy, up here.
- Here! - [ Screams ]
Okay, one minute I'm in Swing Choir,
and the next--
What the hell is going on?
You tell me to come to you with problems.
Turns out a vampire attacked me. Problem.
So I go to your house, only when I get there, this orange cloud hits me.
She was at the doorway.
I don't know if you're into drugs, but that's not my deal, all right?
That cloud hit me, and I got a little dizzy and discombobulated.
It was Willow's spell. She's the potential Slayer.
I'm sure the vampire thought we were, like, what? Four helpless girls.
[ Laughing ] Then Vi actually yells, "We're four helpless girls."
That was part of my plan.
When it started going down, we knew what we were doing, for real.
Yeah, like when you dodged that first attack and then cracked him across the jaw.
No, no. See, I wouldn't have been able to do that if you hadn't took his legs out.
I hurt his arm. Yup. And an arm can be as lethal as a mouth.
When you staked him, seriously, the rush was like--
So, you took one out solo.
Yeah. What was that like?
I don't know.
I mean, when I saw the vampire--
Vamp? Vampire is good too.
Cool.
Yeah, when that vampire attacked me, I felt this... kind of charge.
You know?
[ Kennedy ] Like you realize in one instant...
that your whole life is different.
[ Amanda ] Exactly.
It's that rush you're talking about.
Hey.
You okay? Yeah.
I was thinking of hitting the books, do some research on the First.
It's in retreat mode now, but you're still gonna need to know how to fight it.
Great. Sounds good. Hey, you guys?
You want to head downstairs, get our newest arrival up to speed?
Come on.
What's up?
I'm just thinking about the girls.
It's a harsh gig being a Potential.
Just being picked out of a crowd.
Danger, destiny. Plus, if you act now, death.
They can handle it.
Yeah.
They're special, no doubt.
And the amazing thing is, not one of them will ever know.
Not even Buffy. Know what?
How much harder it is for the rest of us.
- No way. They've got the-- - Seven years, Dawn.
Working with the Slayer,
seeing my friends get more and more powerful.
A witch, a demon.
Hell, I could fit Oz in my shaving kit,
