Action-packed from beginning to end. Buffy has to kill the vampire Potentials, and they put up quite a fight. Spike gives Dru his analysis of why she's responsible for their breakup, then tries to kill her. Giles is visited by Jenny Calendar. Andrew tries to figure out Connor's genealogy. And Drusilla decides she wants to fight the girl with the power, but she doesn't mean Buffy.
Spike and Buffy race across town trying to find Dru.
BUFFY: How could this happen? How did she know I would be gone and there would be people in my house who didn't know her? She must be working for the First.
SPIKE: Dru's never been a team player. And this isn't the First's style. They've never even sent Bringers after those girls during the daytime. Never tried to attack when you were away. And siring the Slayers-in-Training? The First could never come up with anything that insanely brilliant. Brilliant in an unadmirable, evil way, I mean.
BUFFY: Then how did she find out about the Potentials?
SPIKE: She senses things. And I wager the First's been quite forthcoming with the information. But it's her plan. Her fun. Poor Connor. Boy had no idea what he was going up against.
BUFFY: Least he made it out alive. And when did he start wearing leather pants?
SPIKE: I think those were mine.
BUFFY: When did YOU start wearing leather pants?
SPIKE: Picked them up when I was under the control of the First.
BUFFY: But you never wore leather pants back when you were evil.
SPIKE: I know. The First must have had me confused with some other vampire.
Connor sits on the far right side of the couch. There is a large bandage on the right side of his neck. Dawn sits to his left. They hold hands. Giles sits in the chair opposite them. Xander sits on the chair to the left of Connor. Anya sits on the far left side of the couch. Kennedy's upstairs with Willow while Willow does the de-inviting spell. The rest of the Potentials are arrayed in a semi-circle behind Giles, looking at Connor.
CONNOR: So the Master sired Darla, who sired Angelus, who sired Drusilla, who sired Spike. Then Drusilla made Darla a vampire again, right before she had me with Angel.
GILES: In a nutshell, yes.
CONNOR: My family sucks.
XANDER: Really puts my relatives in a whole new perspective.
Giles stands up and walks to the door.
GILES: Now if you will excuse me, I need to go take care of . . . [his voice trails off in despair] Willow should be finished with that protection spell any moment now.
He leaves. Connor stands up and walks into the kitchen with Dawn. He feels nervous with all the Potentials looking at him, thinking he's some sort of freak. He also believes Dru came to town for him, so he feels guilty for the deaths of the six Potentials.
CONNOR: I'll go outside, keep watch. Warn everyone if she's coming.
DAWN: I can keep you company.
CONNOR: You're safer in here.
Andrew is walking home from the video store. He returned the dvds the girls watched the previous night and bought two Doctor Who dvds for himself. He is looking down, not paying attention where he's going, and he sees two feet right in front of him. He stops, looks up and sees a tall woman. She stares into his eyes. He immediately feels nervous and drops his dvds.
DRU: I see you, a man surrounded by fools who cannot see his strength, his vision, his glory.
Andrew smiles nervously.
ANDREW: I, I, I have redemptive powers. Powerful redemptive . . . I'm on a quest –
DRU: You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.
ANDREW: Are you talking about when I was a super villain? How do you know so much about me?
From several blocks away, Spike could hear her voice. He hears her give someone the same speech she gave William before siring him.
SPIKE: Found her!
Spike races to Dru, with Buffy close behind. Spike arrives to see her with Andrew.
DRU: I thought that would get your attention, William.
SPIKE: Him???
Spike goes bumpy and leaps at Dru, knocking her into the wall. She also goes bumpy and they growl at one another. Andrew is petrified. He runs away, runs back, grabs his Doctor Who dvds off the ground, then runs away again. Spike lands a left jab and a right uppercut. Dru lands a right hook. She blocks Spike's right hook, but Spike hits her with a left cross. She grabs his arms and pushes him back a few feet.
DRU: Have you met your new sisters?
Spike and Buffy turn to their left and see Heather, Vi and Erica standing there at the entrance to the alley. Dru makes a quick getaway.
BUFFY: Go!! Just go!
Spike runs off after Dru. The Potentials smile and close in on Buffy. She looks at each of them in turn. It's incredibly painful having to stake the girls she was supposed to protect.
BUFFY: Vi . . . Erica . . . Heather.
HEATHER: I'm Heather. She's Erica.
ERICA: How could you expect to keep us safe when you couldn't even keep our names straight?
Vi stands in front of Buffy. Heather moves to Buffy's left, Erica to Buffy's right. They surround her on three sides.
VI: You were right. Vampires do have the power. All they want to do is kill, feed, destroy. How many people do you think we've killed tonight? Care to guess?
The girls all go bumpy.
ERICA: Two. Just two.
HEATHER: [smiles] Dozen.
Buffy hits Vi in the face with a right kick. She hits Heather with a left jab, pushes Erica back with her right hand, then knocks Erica down with a left cross. When she turns to face Erica, Heather kicks Buffy in the back. Vi jumps up and kicks Buffy in the chin. She goes down and Heather kicks her in the side of the head. Buffy trips Heather up, then vaults to her feet. She blocks Vi's right cross and knocks her back with a right uppercut. Erica grabs Buffy from behind and drives her into the other wall.
Spike catches up with Dru on a grassy hill next to a grave yard.
DRU: Don't worry, William. Just toying with that boy. Didn't see any burning baby fishes swimming round his head.
SPIKE: Shouldn't you be in LA with Angelus?
DRU: [pouts] Oive been replaced.
SPIKE: Cordelia? Bollocks. Angie could never replace you.
DRU: You did.
SPIKE: And wasn't that your fault, pet?
DRU: You can't blame a girl, Spoike.
SPIKE: I should have let you die, doves. I should have let you waste away.
DRU: Oooooh. I love it when you get all cross.
Spike hits her with a right hook.
SPIKE: I risked everything to give you back your strength. And how did you repay me for my sacrifice? [hits her with a left hook] By bloody leaving me! Not a smidgen of gratitude. I am the only reason you are walking this earth. You owe me, pet. [pulls out a stake] And it's about bloody time I collect.
Erica slams Buffy's forehead into the wall. She grabs her left arm. Vi grabs her right arm. Heather looks down at Buffy from six feet away.
VI: Dru told us you're alive because your enemies were always divided. Well, we're together. Like the Three, but prettier and smarter and without Angel to save you.
Heather leaps over Buffy's head and lands behind her, foiling Buffy's two escape moves. There's no vampire to kick in front of her, and if she does a backflip Heather's still breathing down her neck (figuratively). Just in case, Heather grabs Buffy's waist from behind to prevent her from trying a back flip. She leans her head down and prepares to bite Buffy.
HEATHER: Maybe he'll will drop by for a drink.
ERICA: Better hurry before you're all gone.
Vi and Erica laugh at Buffy's predicament. She tries to hit Heather with the back of her head, but Heather keeps her face the the left of Buffy's head to prevent just this sort of trick. Buffy's run out of tricks. She'll have to learn some new ones quick.
Dru giggles at Spike's threat.
DRU: Killing the one who made you. Isn't that the sort of thing Angel would do?
Spike puts the stake under his right sleeve and hits her in the nose with a right jab.
SPIKE: No, love. I won't stake my sire in the back.
Dru still thinks he's bluffing. Spike grabs the lapel of her coat with his right hand and hits her face three time with his left fist. She pushes Spike away and tries a right hook. He blocks it with his left arm and pops her in the stomach with a right uppercut. She grabs him by the collar. He grabs her and tosses Dru 20 feet backwards. She gets up right away, but Spike leaps at her and knocks her down with a right kick before she has a chance to defend herself. Spike stands over the prostrate Dru. He reaches down to grab her neck. She kicks him in the groin with her left foot. He groans and backs up. Dru returns to her feet and smirks.
DRU: Didn't know you still had those. [knocks him down with a right roundhouse] Haven't used them since you first came here.
Buffy struggles to free her arms. No use. And Heather's hold immobilized the rest of her upper body. Kicking her legs forward did no good, since there was no one in front of her to hit. Heather pierces the previously unbitten left side of her neck with her two fangs. It finally occurs to Buffy what she should do. She moves her two legs backwards, wrapping them round Heather's right ankle. Then Buffy pulls her legs forward, taking Heather's right leg along with her and causing Heather to fall down after only getting her fangs a centimeter into Buffy's flesh. Buffy quickly kicks her right foot into the left side of Vi's left knee. Vi's left knee knocks against her right knee, causing her to stumble and allowing Buffy the free her right arm. Then she punches Erica in the face with a right hook, knocking her down as well. In less than three seconds, Buffy has completely turned the tables.
The vampires get up. Heather charges at Buffy and tries a right roundhouse kick. Buffy ducks. Heather throws a right uppercut. Buffy grabs her right fist and throws Heather into the wall to Buffy's left. Vi comes at Buffy, who runs over to Heather, grabs her and tosses her into Vi, knocking both of them down. Erica kicks and punches Buffy in the face. Buffy tosses Erica onto her back. Buffy grabs Erica's right foot, spins her around 180 degrees and hurls her through the air into the wall to Buffy's right. She stakes the dazed vampire. Heather hits Buffy with a right cross. Vi lands left and right jabs. Heather knocks Buffy on her back with a left uppercut.
VI: Did you enjoy that last kill?
SPIKE: I was hoping you'd go down fighting.
DRU: You awlways did love the rough and tumble.
Spike hits Dru with a right cross. She lands a right punch of her own. Spike connects with a left jab. He ducks under Dru's left hook and kicks her in the chin, knocking her back several steps.
DRU: You know she'll never love you.
SPIKE: Why? Because you never did?
DRU: Naughty, naughty lies.
Spike takes advantage of Dru's surprise to knock her down with a left cross. He lets her get up.
SPIKE: You couldn't love. I know that now. You were like a child who plays nice with the boy who gives her the most candy. You stayed not because you loved me, but because I kept winning. A fair weather bird.
Dru blocks Spike's left jab, but he connects with a right cross.
SPIKE: I didn't drop YOU when you were off your game.
Spike gives her a left kick to the stomach and a right roundhouse kick to the chest.
SPIKE: Could have let you die. Could have taken up with a bird who did more than lie around in bed talking to dead flowers.
They trade left hooks. She grabs him. Spike gets her off balance, pulls her head back and looks her in the eyes.
SPIKE: Someone I could take out on the hunt. A bird who could keep up with me. A girl I wouldn't have to spend all my bleeding energy protecting.
Spike tosses Dru to his left and walks over to her.
SPIKE: I had her trapped in that warehouse. No friends, no family, no one who could help her. No escape. And you ruined it! I let her live so she would let you live.
Dru hits Spike with a right hook. He head butts her, knocking Dru down again.
SPIKE: Get the point, love? You're the reason I fancy her. You're the reason I came to this nothingville. You're the reason I let her live. You're the reason I was in that bloody wheelchair.
He hits her with a left-right combination.
DRU: You were hers the moment you saw her. You never had the heart to finish the job. I knew Angelus would behave likewise. But he could live without her. He could break free. You couldn't. You can't. Because you're weak.
SPIKE: Used to be weak for you, love.
DRU: Naught weak enough, my sweet.
She knocks Spike down with a right uppercut.
HEATHER: And we're the ones who are called dead. Course, you've also died.
VI: At least we still have passion.
HEATHER: [laughs] We're undead. You're UNLIVING.
From Buffy's point of view Heather's on the left and Vi's on the right. She hits Heather with a right cross and throws a left cross at Vi, who grabs her left forearm and tosses Buffy to Vi's left. Her back hits the wall. Heather kicks her in the face. Vi lands a left hook, Heather a right jab, Vi a right uppercut, Heather a right hook. Buffy bends her knees and leans against the wall to keep from going down to the ground. Keeping her back against the wall, Buffy throws her legs outward and above her head, hitting Heather with a left kick and Vi with a right kick. Buffy arches her back and lands five feet away from the wall. She kicks Vi in the chin with a left spin kick as Vi tries to get to her feet. Then she turns to her left and focuses on Heather. She hits Heather with a left cross and a right uppercut. She blocks Heather's right hook and lands one of her own. She ducks under Heather's roundhouse kick, lands a right jab and a left roundhouse kick, then takes out her stake in her left hand and goes for the kill. Heather tries to hold it off with both hands, but Buffy puts her right hand behind the stake and drives in home. She quickly turns to face Vi, who leaps at Buffy and tackles her, knocking Buffy on her back. Vi pins her arms down, by Buffy kicks her away. They both get up.
VI: You barely got to know E and H. But me and you, we spent some time together. Seeing me join the enemy, that has to hurt. I know what you're thinking. It's not me. Just a demon who wears my face. But Spike taught you different.
Buffy hits Vi with a left hook and a right kick, knocking Vi on her back. Buffy stands over Vi and punches her four times in the face. Vi laughs.
VI: Did I hit a nerve?
She grabs Buffy's wrists and pushes her back, allowing Vi to vault to her feet. Buffy charges her. She runs up one wall, does a backflip and lands behind Buffy. Buffy turns and ducks, expecting a blow to the face. Vi sweeps her legs out from under her. She circles around Buffy while she is down.
VI: Damn! A few hours and I'm already getting good. Must be all those latent Slayer instincts finally bubbling up to the surface.
As Buffy gets to her feet, Vi runs sideways along the other wall, leaps off it and kicks Buffy in the head, knocking her to the ground next to the opposite wall.
VI: Not bad, huh?
Vi tries to kick Buffy, who rolls to her right to get out of the way and stands up. Vi's gaining in confidence. She appears right now to be the more energetic of the two fighters.
VI: I knew I should have asked Spike for pointers on killing a Slayer. Maybe the key is wearing them down. You breathe. I don't. The longer this goes on, the more the odds tilt in my favor.
Buffy attacks. Vi backs up, blocking two of Buffy's punches with her arms. Buffy manages to kick her in the ribs with her right foot, but Vi answers this by kicking Buffy in the chin with her left foot. Buffy backs up ten feet.
VI: Think maybe after this I'll go to the Bronze to pick up another guy. Do him just like the last one, in both senses of the word. But human men don't seem to satisfy me. You know what I mean. Guess I'll have to find me a nice vampire to ride until sunrise. And I do prefer blondes. Does Spike like redheads? Maybe not yet, but Dru said he never used to like blondes.
Buffy hits her with a right roundhouse kick. She blocks Vi's right kick, then kicks her in the stomach with her left foot. Buffy blocks Vi's right cross and tosses her into the wall. Vi charges her and Buffy throws Vi into the other wall. She ducks Vi's kick, blocks two of her punches and hits Vi three times. Vi connects with a left jab, but Buffy answers with left and right crosses, then left and right hooks. Vi hadn't factored in Buffy's will, which is stronger than hers. Vi grabs Buffy and tries to throw her. Buffy bends her knees, has the lower center of gravity, and bodyslams Vi. She gets up and tries to back up to give herself time to recover. Buffy runs at Vi and hits her with a flying right kick, then a left uppercut and a right hook. Buffy grabs the stake with her left hand and stakes Vi.
VI: Dying young. Ain't that just like a Slayer.
She turns to dust. Buffy runs off to find Spike and Dru.
SPIKE: How come you were too weak to knock young Connor senseless?
DRU: He has his mummy's and his daddy's strength.
SPIKE: Which is exactly why you should have been able to take the boy.
DRU: You never did respect your elders.
SPIKE: Means they never let me down. Except for you, doves.
Spike approaches Dru. She puts her arms up and slowly backpedals.
SPIKE: [smiling maliciously and singing] "Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, Dru. And with the way you look I understand that you are not impressed."
She's doing a good job of protecting her face and chest, so Spike reaches his right foot out, gets it under the hem of her long skirt, pulls his foot back towards himself, and thereby trips Dru up. As she tries to get to her feet, Spike kicks her three times in the spine with his right foot. When she does stand up, Spike knocks her on her back with a left kick to the face. He picks her up by her hair and tosses Dru face-first the tall stone cemetery wall.
SPIKE: "Dru-sil-la. I know this world is killing you."
When she rises he hits her in the stomach with a left punch. Dru lands a left cross, but Spike blocks a right hook and lands three straight right crosses to her face.
SPIKE: "Dru-Sil-La."
Spike connects with left and right hooks, then a left uppercut. He grabs the stake in his right hand and thrusts it towards her chest. Dru manages to knock the stake's trajectory slightly upwards by hitting Spike's forearm with her right hand. The stake pierces Dru's chest at a 45 degree angle, going three inches into her flesh but passing just millimeters above her heart.
DRU: [smiling] Your aim's not true.
She hits Spike with a left hook to the face and a right kick to the chest. He stumbles backwards by stays on his feet. The stake mark leaves a red circular wound on her upper chest, just above her blouse.
Giles has just dropped off the bodies of Rose, Rebecca and Theresa at the morgue. As he walks to his car, he sees a familiar face.
JENNY: Does it get any easier? After all these years, does it still hurt just as much? Do you still agonize over why you can't save your women?
GILES: You're not real.
JENNY: Didn't seem to bother you the last time Dru made you see me.
GILES: Drusilla is not making me see you. The First is.
JENNY: Rupert, you should know better. The First can't do anything by itself. It's only hardware. Needs someone to program it. Sorry. I know you're the LAST person who would understand a computer analogy. Try this one on for size. Do you still have that 12-string Rickenbacker electric?
GILES: It's at my place back in England.
JENNY: Remember when I wanted you to play it, and you were too embarrassed? Then I implied it would make you seem like less of an old fuddy-duddy. So you got it out and plugged it in. You tuned it meticulously. I think you were just nervous and doing that to stall.
GILES: Yes. I remember. Get to the bloody point.
JENNY: What? No nostalgia? [sighs] The First is the guitar. The Hellmouth is the amp. It needs someone to play it.
GILES: Why her?
JENNY: Because she's here at the moment. Nothing special about her. The instrument's always lying there, just waiting for someone to start strumming the chords. And the beauty is – well, besides myself – you can't destroy the guitar or the amp. You kill one player, another one takes his place. [smiles] Kind of like Slayers.
Giles turns his back on Jenny and opens his car door.
JENNY: By the way. Nice wheels. Does this mean there a mid-life crisis after I died? I mean, after I was killed by the demon you just left prance all around this town. It's gotta eat you up inside. He's untouchable. He can ruin your life, take away the only woman you have ever loved, and you're not even allowed to hold it against him.
GILES: That's not what the real Jenny would have wanted.
JENNY: The real Jenny wanted you. The real Jenny was going to have you that very night. But Angel had other ideas.
GILES: Why is the First taking an interest in him?
JENNY: We haven't. He's too busy walking on the mines he's laid. And if we ever do take an interest in Angel, we'll talk to him ourselves. As you know, we're very good at making him do what we want him to. He loves taking orders from women. Right now, you're the one on our radar screen. Because you're lonely. We prey on the lonely. You should know that by now.
GILES: You're wasting your time.
JENNY: Don't you just want to talk some more? I know you miss me. Okay, you miss the real me. But you have to admit I'm a remarkable simulation. When was the last time you had this good of a conversation?
Giles drives away.
As Buffy runs around trying to find Spike and Dru, she sees Angelus 20 feet in front of her and stops running. He's smirking and wearing black leather pants and a black silk shirt.
ANGELUS: You didn't think I'd pass up this opportunity?
Buffy runs towards Angelus and tries to kick him in the face. He laughs, backs up and avoids the kick.
ANGELUS: Relax, lover. Dru will be by soon. Once she's done with William. This is one time you're not saving him.
Buffy throws a right hook. It goes straight through Angelus's face. She runs away from the mirage.
ANGELUS: And you STILL fall for it every time!
Drusilla walks towards Spike. He kicks her in the chest with a left roundhouse, knocking her back into the wall. She comes back out at him and lands a right jab. Spike connects with a right hook and then bashes Dru's head into the wall. When she gets up, Spike puts his left hand on her chest and pushes her back against the wall so she can't move. They stare at each other for a few tense seconds.
SPIKE: At least we had some good times.
He kisses her on the mouth, lands two left hooks and goes to stake her with his right hand. Dru reaches out and pushes Spike away when the stake has pierced the skin and broken about halfway through the sternum. At that point Buffy shows up. When Spike turns to see her arrive, Dru dashes ten yards to her left where there is more open space and where she commands the high ground. Spike leaps at Dru, tackles her and knocks her off the high ground. When she stands up, Buffy leaps at her and kicks Dru in the face.
DRU: No fun. I wont the girl with the power.
Buffy looks confused and assumes this is just Dru being detached from reality. She goes on the attack and tries a right cross. Dru grabs Buffy's right wrist with her left hand and twists the arm sideways. Buffy lands a left hook. Dru shoves the palm of her hand into Buffy's nose, knocking her back. Spike maneuvers behind Dru, so she has to face attacks from both sides. She blocks Spike's left cross, but he lands a right jab and a right kick, knocking Dru towards Buffy, who connects with a left-right combination and a kick to the stomach. Buffy goes for the kill. Dru brings her hands together as if she were clapping and takes hold of the stake. Then she pushes her hands forward, knocking Buffy's right hand into her own nose. Buffy hears someone breathing hard and running towards her.
WOOD: Buffy! Buffy!! There's something out there. Bodies everywhere. I came straight from school to help. Toss me a stake.
Buffy reaches into her pocket and tosses him her backup stake. It goes straight through his hands. Wood smiles.
WOOD: Oops. [Buffy looks horrified] Go ahead Spike. Tell Buffy what happened. Tell her it was self defense.
BUFFY: Spike didn't kill you.
WOOD: You're right. He's not man enough to do something like that. Guess who is?
SPIKE: Buffy!!!
Spike points out that Dru has used this little diversion to make a run for it. Spike runs after her, following Dru's scent. Buffy follows him.
Giles has returned after dropping the bodies off at the morgue. Andrew is at his easel drawing Connor's family tree.
ANDREW: So Drusilla is his sister through Angelus, his niece through Darla, or his grandmother through Neo-Darla. While Spike is either his uncle through Neo-Darla, his nephew through Angelus, or his grand-nephew through Darla.
Giles rolls his eyes and groans.
GILES: You can't equate vampire sirings with human parentage. It's apple and bloody cumquats.
ANYA: By your reasoning, Angel is Connor's brother, since they were both "children" of Darla.
AMANDA: The levels of in-breeding in Connor's pedigree is pretty frightening.
ANDREW: Perhaps I should differentiate between Connor's vampire DNA and his human DNA. That is if the vampire genome isn't RNA. For me, the most interesting part is that while every vampire receives vamp-DNA from one vampire, Connor received it from two, although both parents possessed variants of the Master's DNA, so there would be little variation.
ANYA: So in your model, the Master is Connor's grandfather.
XANDER: And I thought my family was screwed-up.
GILES: The Master is not his grandfather. That is utterly ridiculous.
WILLOW: Not to mention incredibly frightening. Just imagine little toddler Connor coming by to visit, sitting on grandpa's knee, the Master playing with him, giving him treats and presents. On second thought, please don't imagine that.
GILES: The whole notion of vampire DNA is ludicrous. And completely unproven.
ANDREW: Because no one ever tried. Face it, you're Council's stuck in the Dark Ages.
FADILA: You said God told Angel to kill Connor when he was a baby?
GILES: There was a prophecy that Angel would kill his son. It was a false prophecy.
FADILA: Okay. Cause, you know, miracle pregnancy, really old parents, vaguely reminds me of Ibrahim and Ismael.
ARIELLA: Abraham was told to sacrifice Isaac.
GILES: Girls, please. We've been over this before. As long as you live in this house, you're both God's chosen people. And Ariella, you know that's what the Torah says anyway.
ARIELLA: But we're the most chosen.
GILES: You're both chosen. The rest of us aren't. Try to look at it that way.
WILLOW: Then I'm also chosen.
ARIELLA: You're kinda like the Hebrews who went Canaanite and worshipped Moloch.
WILLOW: I have NEVER worshipped Moloch!
XANDER: But you did date him.
ANYA: Really!? And I thought Xander was the demon magnet.
The Potentials all look shocked, though Ariella looks the most shocked, since she can't quite conceive how this could be possible.
WILLOW: We didn't date. I met him online. We exchanged messages for a few days. I found out he was evil, end of story.
ARIELLA: These weren't erotic messages, were they?
Xander's ears perk up. He had never thought of asking Willow this.
WILLOW: Absolutely not!
ANYA: Moloch's a bigger catch that all of Xander's demons put together. From a prestige point of view.
Connor is sitting on top of the roof when he smells Dru approaching from the back of the house. He sticks his head down the chimney, yells "She's coming!" and leaps off the roof to confront her. He meets her in the yard behind Buffy's. He punches her face with a right cross. She punches him back with a right. Except she's holding a large stone in her right hand. The bludgeoning causes Connor to fall face down in the garden. She smashes the rock into the back of Connor's skull, then pushes his face into the dirt with her left foot. Drusilla continues on. When they realized where Dru was heading, Spike and Buffy raced straight home, approaching the house from the front. They enter when Dru is in Buffy's backyard.
BUFFY: Dru's coming here.
GILES: We know. And don't worry. Willow did the spell. And the other vampires?
BUFFY: Taken care of.
Dru runs to the left side of the house and leaps through the double windows in Willow's room. She snatches Kennedy and leaps back out before Willow can do anything. Willow screams. Buffy, Giles and Spike run upstairs into her room and find Willow on her knees and in tears.
BUFFY: Willow, what happened?
WILLOW: She took Kennedy!
Spike leaps out the window and goes after Dru.
GILES: How?
WILLOW: She came in and took her away. Why did I let this happen? Why couldn't I protect her?
BUFFY: It's okay Willow. We'll find her.
WILLOW: Too late.
Willow puts her left hand on Giles's chest and her right hand on Buffy's. They both grimace in pain. After a few seconds, Willow's hair has turned black, and her eyes turn dark red. Buffy and Giles fall to the ground. Willow leaps out the window and floats away.
NEXT: Drusilla versus Dark Willow. Connor learns why he shouldn't leap on top of a moving bus, Angel's old friends barely escape an ambush with their lives, and Drusilla arrives in Los Angeles, bringing Angelus out of his ennui with her stories of mayhem in Sunnydale and her plans to rebuild their family.
