So one day Buffy's fighting some of Angel's minions and she's telling them to tell him that she's tired of waiting and that she's taking the fight to him.
Later that very same day, she and Willow find a spell that Ms. Calendar recreated before she died to restore Angel's soul. Buffy decides that this might be a fun possibility.

Xander gets a little bit testy.
Everybody has a great big argument about it. Nothing comes of it, except that everyone except Cordelia seems to be angry with me.

In the middle of an exam, a vampire walks in with an extra-flamey message for Buffy that more would die if she didn't face Angel that night. So since Kendra mysteriously showed up, Buffy has Kendra keep an eye on the Let's-Give-Angel-a-Soul proceedings while Buffy herself fights Angel and tries to prevent him from destroying the world.

Oh, did I not mention that fun part yet?

Construction crews dug up an old tomb thing. Giles says there's some stone demon named Acathla in it. It was recently stolen from the museum where it was staying, and we suspect quite strongly that Angel stole it for his own fun purposes.
Acathla is supposed to suck the world into hell when awakened by someone worthy. Giles says that according to prophecies or legends or something, Angel is the worthy guy. He puts his own blood on his hands, and he can pull the sword out of Acathla, thus ending the world.

See? Fun.

So while Buffy's fighting Angel, our little Soul Party gets interrupted by Drusilla and her fun friends who break my arm, kill Kendra, and give Willow head trauma to the point where we don't know if she's going to be all right.

I'm still at the hospital. I figure Buffy will show up eventually when she realizes it was a trap.

Giles and Cordy got away, thank God.
Willow's too pale.
I can't lose her.
