Previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Spike asks Buffy why
she won't sleep
with him again, Tara and Willow talk clothes after making up,
Buffy
destroying Warren's magic powers, Spike's assault on Buffy, Spike
leaving
town, Warren's shooting of Buffy and Tara.
An ambulence races down the daytime street and stops in front
of the Summers
home. Xander quickly shows the paramedics into the back yard where
Buffy
lies motionless. The paramedics kneel by Buffy and start doing
their thing.
Up in the bedroom, Willow cries while holding Tara's body, begging
Tara to
come back. The room turns dark as Willow looks upward with red
eyes of fury.
"By Osirus, I command you, bring her back..."
Outside, the paramedics report Buffy's pulse is weak.
"Hear me, keeper of darkness" Willow pleads as a demonic
face appears in the
smokey clouds that now cover the room's ceiling. The demonic face
speaks,
saying that Tara cannot be brought back. Willow questions why,
to which the
demonic face explains that Tara was taken by natural order and
cannot be
brought back. Willow screams in pain/fury.
Opening Credits: Nothing new (Amber Benson's credits removed from
last show)
Out front, Xander follows the paramedics as they load Buffy
into the
Ambulance. Willow walks outside, blood still spattered on her
shirt, walking
quite calmly, as if in shock. Seeing the paramedics and ambulance,
She asks
Xander "How did this happen?" "Warren, he had a
Gun" Xander says.
"Warren..." Willow responds with hatred in her eyes
as she walks off...
Xander jumps in the ambulance at the paramedic's invitation.
At the police station, Andrew and Johnathan talk nervously over
their
situation. Jonathan is paranoid that another guy nearby is going
to make
Johnathan his "buttmonkey" while Andrew keeps hoping
his Aunt will come get
them out. Johnathan turns cold, saying that they're screwed, that
Andrew's
Aunt isn't going to come and get him out, and neither is Warren.
Johnathan
then starts talking about how Andrew and Warren were turning against
him,
which Andrew denies. Andrew still holds out hope that Warren will
come get
them after devising a plan to break them out.
Warren walks calmly into a seedy, vampire/demon bar (Willies?)
and buys a
round for the house. He starts gloating that he killed the Slayer
and a
vampire and the demon vampire take notice! They smile and start
to question
Warren how he did it. He tells how he explored all the dark arts
and other
magiks, but when it came right down to it, all he needed was a
good ol'
fashioned gun. The vampire and demon-bartender start to laugh,
but
something's wrong... they're laughing AT Warren, not with him.
Turns out
they both just heard a report on the TV that a girl was shot in
her back
yard, but survived and is in the hospital. They then reason that,
with the
Slayer's fast healing, she's gonna be pissed and want vengence
against him.
A worried look comes on Warren's face.
The door to the Magic Box bursts open as lights flash and spark.
Willow
walks in with a purpose! Anya instantly senses something's wrong
and tries
to calm Willow down, but Willow simply asks where the black arts
books are.
Anya starts forward, saying she can't let Willow take them, but
Willow
raises her hand and says "stop" and Anya is suddenly
still, unable to speak
and barely move.
Willow looks up to the upper loft as books of all sizes start
floating and
flying down onto the Magic Box's main round table. Dozens of books
fly down
and land in a large pile, with one book landing open towards Willow.
Willow
walks over and stretches her hands out, onto and INTO the book.
The very
words of the book start to creep up her hands and arms, slowly
onto her
chest and face. Suddenly they fade into her forehead as her hair
turns pitch
black to match her now black eyes. "That's better..."
she mutters as she
removes her hands from the text.
Commercial Break: Come to the Magic Box in Sunnydale, California.
Just the
place for all your vengeful supernatural needs! Mummy hands now
on sale!
Dawn arrives home to an empty house. She calls out for Buffy here
and there,
eventually going upstares and noticing Willow's Bedroom door open.
She walks
in and is sees Tara's body as a look of shock comes across her
face.
Rack comes out of his room into his lobby to ask who's next. Warren
instantly bolts up, pushing ahead of the another "patron."
Warren is there
to get some extra power and protection, saying he needs help because
he
tried to kill the Slayer but failed. Rack says that the Slayer
is the least
of his problems, and that he should worry about the witch. Anyone
who's with
it can tell that "the witch" is the new power in town
and she's gonna "blow
this place apart." Warren questions why the witch would be
so angered,
understanding that he did shoot her friend, but that her friend
is going to
be ok and is a fast healer. Rack says there's something else,
he detects
death, and that is what the witch is wanting vengence for. Warren
begs for
help,l wanting both offensive and defensive help. Rack agrees
to help, but
he says that he can't guarentee anything. "She's running
on pure fury...
I've never felt anything like it."
At the hospital, Xander anxiously awaits as doctors work furiously
to remove
the bullet from Buffy's chest. Suddenly the lights start to flicker.
Willow
has arrived! "Leave" she orders and the doctors and
nurses hesitently obey.
Xander comes in, asking Willow what she's doing. Willow says she
won't die
and approaches Buffy's body. Slowly the bullet rises up out of
Buffy's wound
and floats in the air above her. "It's so small" Willow
remarks as she looks
curiously at the bullet before she grabs it.
Buffy stirs and starts to come to on the operating table. She
is confused,
but fine as Xander walks up, happily hugging her. Buffy asks what's
going on
as she sees a very different Willow, looking very calm and...
different
(black clothes, black hair, natural but darker eyes. Willow says
she'll
explain all but they have to get moving now.
At a bus station, Warren anxiously buys a ticket for the boarder
and makes a
mad dash for a bus.
Driving down a deserted desert highway, Willow orders the driver,
Xander, to
go faster. He argues back but she "magically" forces
the accelerator down
from the back seat. From the passenger seat Buffy tells Willow
they have to
calm down and think for a while as Xander questions Willow's new
"makeover."
Willow senses something and orders Xander to turn the car. Xander
looks
confused for a road, but Willow takes over magically, forcing
the car off
the road and continuing on. The car drives for a short while before
they
come upon another road and Willow stops the car.
Willow gets out and Buffy and Xander follow, but Willow walks
into the
middle of the road and tells the other two to stay back. Down
the road a bus
approaches, heading straight for Willow, but Willow stands firm.
The bus
driver loses control over the bus's steering as it heads directly
towards
her, but then screeches to a halt mere feet in front of witch.
Willow calmly
walks over to the bus door, which opens. "Get out" she
orders. The bus
driver and passengers look confused, except for one passenger,
Warren. He
gets up and head out of the bus, instantly starting to apologize
to the
witch, but Willow grabs him by the throat and slams him up against
the bus,
pure hatred in her eyes. She squeezes her hand around his throat
and his
left eye pops out, making the eyesocket "spark."
Buffy and Xander run up to Willow who looks down at the Warren-bot.
"I could
feel his essence. He tricked me. I'll find him another way.
"And then what?" Buffy asks frantically.
"And then we'll kill him."
"OK, you need to calm down."
"Calm down?"
"Look, you're angry... I... I am to. there's no excuse
for what Warren did
but that..."
"He shot Tara. when he shot you he hit her too, upstairs
in my room. The
last shot was the charm. "
"She's dead?"
"She's dead, now he's dead too." Willow says coldly
"Oh my god... Tara." Buffy says in shock
"Christ, will, why didn't you say anything?" Xander
asks?
"I've been busy..." Willow comments.
Willow starts to walk off but Buffy stops her, saying that
while what Warren
did was wrong, killing him is not the way, not THEIR way. Willow
will not
listen, though, and walks off, casting a spell behind her which
sends Buffy
and Xander to the ground. When they shake off being dazed, they
look around.
Willow is no where to be found!
Commercial Break: United Airlines. Now only two and a half hours
to get
through security!
Buffy and Xander arrive at the Summers home at night. They call
for Willow
and Dawn, but no answer. Buffy goes upstares into Willow's room
and finds
Tara's body. "oh god..." she trails off.
"I didn't want to leave her alone" says Dawn, who huddles
in the darkened
corner in fear and shock, crying. Buffy tells Dawn they have to
go down
stairs as she hugs her sister. Xander walks in silently and stares
at Tara's
body for a moment, pain on his face.
Downstairs, Buffy and Dawn sit on the couch as the coroner takes
Tara's body
down the stairs in a body bag on a gurney. Xander is asked to
sign some
papers at the door as the coroner gives him some instructions
as to where to
call tomorrow for more answers. He then walks into the living
room, sitting
with the two girls. Buffy says they have to find Willow soon.
Xander
comments that if Willow finds Warren, he's a dead man. "Good"
Dawn chimes in
coldly. Dawn argues that Warren needs to die and she doesn't understand
why
Buffy doesn't agree. Xander also shows similar feelings. Buffy
tells them
that "Being the Slayer doesn't mean having a license to kill."
She explains
that the "human world" has it's own laws and while they
don't always work,
they usually are for the greater good. There are limits to what
they can do.
Willow isn't following those limits, and she doesn't have the
right to take
another human life. Buffy promises that Warren will get what he
deserves,
but she will NOT let Willow take charge.
Xander asks what the next move is. Buffy suggests finding some
sort of
locator spell at the Magic Box, which Xander says he can handle.
Buffy then
says that she wants to take Dawn somewhere safe. Dawn says she
wants to go
with Buffy, wanting to help Willow, but Buffy wants Dawn to be
safe first.
Dawn says the only place she feels safe is at Spikes, which angers
Xander.
While Dawn gets some things ready, Xander and Buffy talk in the
hall. Xander
argues that Spike isn't safe, especially after what he did to
Buffy, but
Buffy says that Spike wouldn't dare hurt Dawn, and he can't hurt
humans
anyways.
At Tara's dorm room, Willow casts a locator spell, using the blood-stained
shirt she was wearing. On the shirt, the blood swirls into a pattern,
a map,
and a point of it glows brightly.
An old black and white movie plays on Spike's television in his
crypt. Buffy
and Dawn silently enter, then Buffy call's Spike's name, but up
out of the
chair leaps CLEM, who is startled. He smiles as Buffy apologizes
for scaring
him, then she asks where Spike is. Clem says that he left town
and that he's
watching his place for him, otherwise someone else would snatch
it up.
"Besides, I don't have TV." he admits. Clem is friendly
and offers them some
snacks and Country Time lemonade, but they politely refuse as
Buffy asks
where Spike went? Clem answers he doesn't know, but it could be
for a long
time. Buffy then asks Clem for a favor and wonders if he could
watch after
Dawn for a while to keep her safe. Dawn at first objects, but
Clem gladfully
agrees, saying they can play parcheesee and rent "The Wedding
Planner." Dawn
smiles at his invitation as he cleans off the "comfy"
chair for her. Buffy
and Dawn hug, with Buffy promising to be back as soon as she can.
Walking through an african tribe's area, Spike is confronted by
a native who
issues some sort of warning, which of course we (or spike) don't
understand.
Later in a cave, Spike wanders around in the near dark, looking
at cave
paintings, when he is suddenly startled by a large, mysterious,
dark demon
with green, glowing eyes. The demon knows Spike was searching
for him. The
Demon knows why. "Something about a woman... the Slayer."
Spike argues that
it's the chip in his head, and the Demon asks if he wishes to
return to his
former self. Spike says yes, but the Demon laughs. "Look
what she's reduced
you to. You were a legendary dark warrior and you let yourself
get
castraited." Spike argues again that it's the chip, but the
demon laughs
again, wondering how he had the guts to come to him for his restoration.
Spike comments that the demon will see, that he can take anything
he's gonna
throw at him. "The bitch is gonna see a change."
"you feeling any change? Can you talk?" Xander helps
a disoriented Anya to a
chair as Anya explains what happened and admits that she knows
what happened
to Tara. Xander is uncomfortable but straightforward, asking Anya
if there's
some way she can help find Willow with a spell or something. Anya
says that
she doesn't have to use a spell, she can sense where Willow is
and can feel
her thirst for vengence. At first Xander asks if that is something
that's
left over from her vengence demon days, but Anya says "no,
not left over."
Xander then realizes that she's gone vengence demon and asks "When?"
"When
do you think?" she answers him coldly.
Buffy walks into the Magic Box, asking if everything's ok.
Xander says that
Anya can help find Willow, but when asked how by Buffy, Xander
tells that
Anya got her vengence back on again. Xander then wonders why Anya
doesn't go
to Willow and help her out, as that is her "thing" to
do. Anya agrees that
normally she would have to as part of her job, but Willow wishes
to do this
alone. Buffy gets to the point, asking which side Anya's on, saying
that
they need to know quickly if she'll help them. Anya says yes,
she will help
them, but only to help Willow. She says she can tell Willow is
close to
Warren in the woods.
Willow walks through the nighttime woods with a purpose. Warren
is seen
running through the woods. Willow slows when she enters a clearing
"Run all
night, Warren... I'm still gonna..." Thwap! Willow falls
face down into the
ground, an axe deeply embedded in her back. Warren stands over
Willow's
body, looking tired.
Commercial Break: Apple Computers. We still make really good stuff,
but you
still can't eat them.
Warren looks down and smiles at his handywork, but then Willow
rises up and
turns toward Warren as she pulls the axe out of her back. "An
axe isn't
gonna cut it..." she quips.
Warren takes off, running frantically through the woods with Willow
calmly
in pursuit. He pulls out a square box and presses it's sides.
Metallic wings
spring out the sides and it takes off into the air as he smiles
to himself.
The box flies off and starts to dart around Willow's head. Then
it EXPLODES
in a fireball, just as Willow is heard to shout "Freeze!"
The fireball is
suddenly still, grows cold and dim, then turns to a clear ice
that surrounds
her. It shatters as she continues to walk through the barrier.
He continues to run, looking behind him for signs of pursuit,
but then turns
his head back and runs STRAIGHT into a pissed off Willow. Warren
slowly
starts backing up, saying that it was an accident. "Oh, instead
of killing
my best friend, you killed my Girlfriend." Willow retorts.
Warren reaches in
his pocket for something as he turns to run, but Willow blasts
him with a
dark and light blast of lightning, sending him to the ground.
Warren shouts
"catch this!" and throws a round globby thing at Willow.
It hits her and
slowly envelopes her entire body in a clear fluid, but unable
to be stopped,
the vengeful witch's eyes glow red and burn holes right through
the barrier
and she continues to walk towards Warren, who has run off again.
Willow casts a one-word spell and we suddenly see Warren's arms
and legs get
ensnared by vines from the trees and ground. Outstretched limbs
hold a
scared, cocky Warren up as Willow approaches. Warren tries to
act smart by
threatening Willow, saying she will soon join her girlfriend,
but Willow
sees something in Warren's eyes. "She wasn't the first."
Willow can spot
that Warren has killed before and shouts "Reveal!"
Katrina comes walking out of the forest, asking how Warren could
do
something so vile, to someone he supposedly loved? Warren tries
to shake the
image off and begs for Willow to make the image go away. Katrina
continues
pressing Warren as to how he could do it. "Because you deserved
it, bitch!"
Warren yells back... to nothing! Willow then confronts Warren,
saying that
he actually enjoys the killing, that he gets off on it, and that
Buffy's
death was to be the "big O."
Anya leads Xander and Buffy through the forest, pointing a route
out and
saying that they are close, that Warren is still alive.
Warren starts to shout for help in a panic. Willow asks him what's
wrong,
she thought he wanted to talk? He becomes silent as she pulls
out the bullet
that struck Buffy. Willow rips open Warren's shirt and then releases
the
bullet in mid air. It floats over towards the center of Warren's
chest,
hovering for a moment before it enters his chest. He howls in
pain as Willow
slowly describes the pain of the bullet's path as it enters a
body. Warren
continues to cry in pain, but Willow silences him by magically
sewing his
mouth shut. Warren is in INTENSE pain as the bullet burrs itself
slowly into
his chest, but he is unable to make a sound as Willow continues
to describe
and gloat over the pain he must be in.
Willow then starts remembering Tara. "Amazing, isn't it?
One tiny piece of
metal, takes everything away." She wonders why Tara is alive
and scum like
Warren is alive? Willow questions Warren if he can feel it inside
him as she
releases his mouth's bonds. Warren screams in pain, then begs
for help and
forgiveness. Just then, Buffy approaches from the distance, calling
Willow's
name. Warren tries to slowly reason with Willow as her friends
approach, but
Willow simply says "Bored now..." and flicks her hand
towards Warren as she
walks away. Warren's skin is RIPPED from his body upwards, a mass
of blood
and muscles being left strung up between the trees.
Xander, Anya and Buffy look on in horror as they ask Willow what
she did?
Just then, Warren's body starts to burn, and it quickly consumed
in a firey
blaze! "One down..." she remakrs, as she looks at her
friends, then a swirl
of magical energy surrounds her and she dissapears into thin air!
Grrr... Arrrg...
