Running time: 43:32
Previously: Buffy's return from the grave, Spike confronting Buffy
on her wrongness,
Buffy meets tres geeks, Dawn's recent anger with Buffy, Tara leaving
Willow, Spike
telling Buffy he loves her.
In Spike's crypt, we see a mess! Furniture and items tossed about
as the sounds of
"mad" love can be heard in the background. Buffy and
Spike are seen literally UNDER
a rug, having just finished an intense lovemaking session. They
start talking back and
fourth about his decorating, and her re-doing her room (as the
New Kids on the Block
posters are dating her). Just then, they realize that they're
having a conversation! Talk
turns to the sexual escapades before Spike unintentionally insults
her by calling her an
"animal." She is hurt and starts searching for her underwear
when Spike asks what this
"thing" they have is. Buffy says it's just what it is,
sex. Spike then asks the big one: "Do
you even like me?" "Sometimes." is all Buffy can
answer. Spike then asks her if he
trusts him as he pulls out some handcuffs. "Never" she
says seriously.
Sorting through some LP's, Andrew and Jonathan are bickering about
being forced to
"share" their new lair with the others. The two start
to push, then punch and wrestle
each other as Warren "interrupts" them from a nearby
workbench, saying the "Cerebral
Inhibitor" is ready. The two stop fighting and trot up eagerly,
with Andrew pulling out a
baggie with the last key ingredient: the musk gland of a demon
which SMELLS!
Jonathan takes the gland, says some magical Latin spell, and PAF!
The gland
disappears from his hand and a small burst of light enters a silver
ball sitting on the
workbench. Warren takes the ball, announcing "the Cerebral
Dampener is on-line!"
Now they can make any woman their willing sex slave "and
I know just where to
start"
Behind the counter of the Doublemeat Palace, Buffy serves up someone's
order as
Tara walks up, saying she got there as quick as she could. Buffy
tells her co-worker
she's taking a break as the two friends go into the back room.
Tara sits at a table as Buffy very seriously tells her something's
wrong. Tara instantly
thinks that Willow is in trouble again, wondering if she's hurt
someone? Buffy says it's
not about Willow, which concerns Tara. Buffy says that Willow
is ok, but she wants to
talk about Spike. Buffy tells Tara that Spike can hurt her without
his head exploding, but
it only works with her, not other humans. Buffy says that she
thinks she came back
"wrong" and wants Tara to investigate the spell that
was used to bring her back.
A bar is seen on a computer monitor back at the supervillians
new lair. Andrew and
Jonathan watch Warren's "tie cam" and communicate with
him with a hidden earpiece
and mic. Warren pans the tie camera around, letting the two other
geeks see lots of
"hot babes" wandering the bar. The two start to tell
Warren to go for this one, or that
one, but Warren spots someone he knows sitting at the bar. Tired
of their requests and
fighting, Warren takes the earpiece/mic off and drops it in a
nearby unfinished drink
(sending waves of a squelchy feedback to the headphones of Andrew
and Jonathan)
and approaches Katrina, his old girlfriend (before the Aprilbot
incident).
She instantly recognizes him and is instantly disgusted. Warren
makes some genuine
apologies to Katrina, but she is clearly not ready to forgive
and wishes to go. Warren
stops her, quickly dons some protective eyewear, and pulls out
the silver "cerebral
inhibitor", which flashes a bright red blast of light briefly.
Katrina sees the light and
suddenly says "I love you Master." Warren smiles "I
love you too, baby."
Buffy walks in her front door to find Dawn and Xander dancing!
"Is there singing?!?
Are we singing again!?!" No demon spells this time, though
Xander and Anya (who
sits nearby with Willow) are teaching Dawn how to dance for the
wedding. Buffy looks
tired and dragged out (which Anya of course comments on). Xander
and Willow
suggest going to the Bronze to loosen up a little, but Buffy wants
to just relax at home
with Dawn. Just then a car honks outside and Dawn starts to get
ready to go. "I'm
spending the night at Janice's?" Dawn asks awkwardly, but
as Buffy objects
(remembering the last time she told that one at Halloween), Willow
says that she
checked it out and it's legit. Buffy is hurt and asks Dawn to
stay. Dawn looks
uncomfortable "you're never around anymore I didn't know
you'd be here." Dawn
leaves as Buffy, hurt, turns to the others, wanting to suddenly
go to the Bronze!
The pop of a champagne cork is heard as Katrina "serves"
Warren a glass. She is
dressed in a French maid outfit and, with a blank stare on her
face, continues to pour
glasses of bubbly for Andrew and Jonathan. The three toast "To
crime!" as they revel in
their newfound sex-slave! Jonathan and Andrew giggle as they ask
who gets to "have
fun" with her first, but Jonathan calmly says he gets her
first, they can have her when
he's done.
Leading her off to a side bedroom, Katrina says "I never
should have left you Master"
and "I love you Master" at Warren's coaching as she
and Warren kiss passionately.
Warren orders her to kneel, and she answers "Yes, Warren."
The spell is wearing off!
Katrina suddenly comes to out of her hypnotic state and is furious!
Thrown through the bedroom doorway into the view of the other
two geeks (who are
light-saber fighting), Warren asks who the hell they are? Warren
tells the other two to
find the Dampener while he tries to talk to Katrina, but she is
hurt and pissed! Jonathan
and Andrew scramble to find the Dampener, and upon finding it,
Andrew uses it to no
avail! The Silver ball sparks and fizzles out, and Katrina now
knows what they used to
control her! Warren says that he just wanted Katrina back, which
clues Andrew and
Jonathan in on the fact that she was Warren's ex. She turns to
the others, asking them
if they think it's some sort of game? Well, it's not, it's real.
"It's rape!" The impact of
that statement sinks into Andrew and Jonathan and they are suddenly
silenced. Katrina
tells Warren to get lost as she turns to go.
"Stop her" orders Warren as Andrew and Jonathan grab
onto her, but the two geeks are
no match for the highly pissed off woman. She easily downs them
both and continues
out up some stairs as Jonathan races after her, grabbing onto
her several times, trying
to stop her from continuing up the stairs, but she kicks and fights
and claws at his face.
He grabs a nearby bottle and swings it down hard on her head and
she falls limp.
"Charge the Cerebral Dampener." Warren orders, but Andrew
and Jonathan look on in
horror. Warren says they'll just give her another dose, everything
will be ok, as he has
Andrew go and help Katrina up. But Andrew says everything isn't
going to be ok as he
raises a bloody hand from her head. "I think she's dead."
Andrew sits on the stairs in shock, crying. Jonathan ask how Warren
he could do it, but
Warren throws Jonathan up against a wall, saying "WE did
this ME, and ANDREW,
and YOU! It's on all of us" They wonder about teleporting
the body out, but it's too
big. They consider summoning something to eat the body, but Andrew
says what they
summon would be out of control and would try for them, too. Jonathan
starts to panic,
saying that Buffy is gonna find out, link Katrina to Warren, and
then they're all finished!
Andrew and Jonathan want to turn themselves in, but Warren refuses,
having a better
idea that would take care of both of their problems (Katrina and
the Slayer) with one big
stone
Xander and Anya are dancing to big-band music at the Bronze as
Willow looks on in
uneasiness, not wanting to have to dance like that! Xander and
Anya invite Willow and
Buffy onto the dance floor, but only Willow accepts as Buffy goes
to get another drink.
She abandons her drink at the bar, though, to go up into the catwalk
to overlook
everyone.
"You see you try to be with them, but you're in love with
the dark with me. What
would they think of you if they found out? The things you've done?
If they knew who
you really were?" Spike's voice is taunting and seductive
as he approaches Buffy from
behind and starts to slowly touch her arm, her thigh... "Don't"
she responds. "Stop
me" challenges Spike.
Buffy is seduced by the vampire's touch and words. He orders her
to continue watching
the "other world" below, saying that she belongs with
him, as they well, obviously are
"doing" something not so public.
"I think I pulled a Jive muscle" Xander quips as he
massages his leg. He and Willow
walk down the street as they see Tara coming out of the Magic
Box. With a large magic
book. Xander beats a hasty exit into the shop as Willow and Tara
talk awkwardly.
Willow says that she's doing better Tara tries to hide the book
from Willow, but Willow
says it's ok, she doesn't have to stop using magic just because
she herself went out of
control. "No spells for 32 days!" and says that she
can even go in the Magic Box now
as long as someone's with her. Tara says she was just looking
for Buffy, but Willow
hasn't seen her lately. The two continue to walk on, but Tara
turns to say "Will I'm
I'm glad you're doing better." She smiles at Willow but the
smile is surrounded by pain.
Willow watches her lover walk away, confused.
A hauntingly slow song starts as Buffy walks in the graveyard
on patrol in the dark.
Spike is in his crypt, lights a cigarette as he walks up to the
crypt door. Buffy stands on
the other side, hesitating. Spike whips the door open to find
nothing. Buffy walks
away, trying to convince herself not to think of "the evil,
bloodsucking fiend." Off in the
distance, she hears a scream and runs to investigate!
A hooded figure chases a woman under a tree with Buffy in hot
pursuit. Buffy dives on
the figure and tackles it, only to wind up sprawled on the ground,
all alone. The woman
lays nearby, sobbing. Suddenly voices are heard in the very air,
making Buffy look
around confused. "What did you do? What did you do? What
did you do?" they repeat
over again, sending Buffy to her knees, clutching her ears
"Bloody hell" says Spike as he is thrown to the ground
by Buffy, who stands there above
him, not knowing or remembering what she did. Out of nowhere,
three hooded demons
attack, two on Buffy, one on Spike. Spike easily dispatches his,
Buffy has some trouble
with her two before she is really hit hard across the face, sending
her into a sort of
"shift."
"Spike? What's happening?" Buffy stands alone as Spike
calmly walks up to her,
commenting that she can't get away that easily. She stands confused
as suddenly she
shifts again
Mid combat with the hooded demons again, Buffy and Spike fight
them off. The woman
is seen running by Buffy again, collapsing into the leaves and
crying. Then things
happen WAY too fast: Buffy throws Spike, Hooded demons attack,
She stands alone,
scene after scene is replayed, until Buffy spins and punches a
figure which turns out to be the woman, sending the woman to the
ground and rolling down a hill. Spike finishes off one of the
hooded figures as he
sees Buffy follow the woman's rolling body. He tries to follow
but is attacked again by a
hooded figure, who he punches in the chest HARD and we hear the
squelching of guts.
Spike arrives at the bottom of the hill to find Buffy kneeling
at the woman's side. "She's
dead, I killed her." Katrina's body lays at Buffy's side
as a figure watches from behind a
distant tree a figure that looks like Katrina!
Buffy still wonders what happened, but Spike urges her to go quickly.
Spike escorts her
away from the scene and orders a clearly in shock Buffy to go
back home and crawl into
bed and forget about everything. He tells her not to worry, nobody
saw.
But on a computer monitor, all IS seen! In their van, Warren and
Andrew watch and
record the scene as the door opens and "Katrina" steps
in. She then morphs into
Jonathan! Andrew asks what they do next? Sarcastically, Jonathan
says "The night's
young there's gotta be some more girls we can kill" as he
stares right at Warren.
Warren says they stick to the plan: "Buffy thinks she killed
Katrina It's her problem
now."
Buffy tosses in her bed as Spike tries to calm her. They start
to make love, but things
aren't quite right. Buffy has visions of a handcuffed Spike, which
shift to a handcuffed
Katrina. Buffy straddles Spike, pulling out a stake, and then
slams it down into Katrina's
chest.
Buffy jolts awake, fully clothed, alone in her bed. Still confused
and scared, she goes to
check on Dawn who is asleep in her room. Buffy gently wakes a
sleeping Dawn. "I just
wanted I love you." Dawn raises up out of bed and is concerned,
scared, asking
Buffy why she's talking strangely. Buffy tells Dawn that she hurt
someone in an
accident in the forest, and when Dawn asks if the person is alright,
Buffy admits "no
I'm sorry." Dawn embraces her sister as Buffy says that she
has to tell the police.
Dawn worries what will happen, but then starts thinking that Buffy
simply doesn't want to
be there. "You're never here anyways." Dawn says that
Buffy never wanted to come
back and doesn't like it here, then Dawn storms out, crying and
hurt.
In an alley by the police station, Spike grabs Buffy and thows
her to the ground. Buffy
says she has to tell them what happened, but Spike says "Nothing
happened." Buffy
says that she'll show them the body, but Spike answers back that
he "took care of it."
No one will ever find her
"Where'd they find her?" One officer says from around
the corner. "In the river, about a
half a mile away from the cemetery." Another answers.
Spike and Buffy continue to argue in the alleyway. Buffy almost
pleads that she has to
do this, but Spike says there's nothing linking her to the crime.
Spike says he can't
allow her to turn herself in, he loves her. "No you don't."
she answers. "You think I
haven't tried not to?" Buffy then BELTS Spike a good one,
sending him flying. "Try
harder!"
Buffy storms off but it stopped again by a game-faced Spike. Spike
tries to get her to
vent, to explain why this is bothering her so much. So Buffy does.
She begins to beat
the crap out of Spike, and her speech is telling:
"I am not your girl! You don't have a soul. There is nothing
good or clean in you. You
are dead inside. You can't feel anything real. I could never be
your girl!" She punches
the hell out of Spike's face again and again, leaving him with
swollen eyes and cuts.
"You only hurt the ones you love, pet" is his only response.
She looks horrified. She
gets up from him and walks slowly into the police station, trying
to get the desk
sergeant's attention, but the phone rings. Buffy overhears the
conversation, learning
that they now know the dead girl's name: Katrina Silvers. Buffy
has a flashback of
memory to a confrontation between Warren and Katrina at Warren's
place (from "I was
made to love you"). Buffy starts to get suspicious and walks
quickly out.
Back at the Magic Box, Anya shows Buffy a picture of the Hooded
demons she fought.
The demons can create a localized time distortion field around
themselves apparently
and are very rare. Buffy now knows that she was tricked into thinking
she killed Katrina,
and that Warren has something to do with her death. Xander and
Willow are relieved
but Dawn asks coldly "does this mean you're not going away?"
Buffy tries to comfort
her sister by saying she's not going anywhere, but Dawn storms
off.
A confidential coroner's report is on the monitor in the supervillian's
lair. They have
gotten away with it, even though they weren't able to pin it on
Buffy. Andrew says "We
really got away with murder. That's kinda cool" as a slight
grin appears on his face.
Jonathan agrees that it's cool, but doesn't look nearly as convinced.
Sitting in the Summers living room, Buffy talks to Tara who has
good news! Nothing is
"wrong" with Buffy, but she is different. The spell
that pulled her back into this
dimension altered her molecular structure, allowing Spike's chip
to be confused. Buffy
is shaken and worried, saying that Tara must have missed something,
asking her to
check again. Tara assures her that she's ok, but Buffy wonders
why she is feeling the
things she is feeling.
"Why did I let Spike do those things to me?" Buffy asks?
Tara says "hit you?" Buffy
shakes her head, and a concerned, surprised look comes over Tara
as she gets the
picture. Buffy continues to question why she's having these feelings
for him, why she
keeps going back to him. Tara has no answers, but instead asks
a question: "Do you
love him?" Buffy is silent. Tara says that it's ok to admit
she loves him, and if she
doesn't, that's ok too, she's been under such pressure lately.
But Buffy still wonders
why she keeps going back to him. Buffy then begs Tara not to tell
the others, and Tara
promises her she won't. Buffy feels it's wrong to see him, she
breaks down and says
she is wrong "Tell me that I'm wrong please don't forgive
me." Tara rocks Buffy
back and fourth gently, comforting her.
