Innocence
Angel's soul is again lost, and he has reverted to the same old vampire he was prior to the Romany curse. Spike and Drusilla are thrilled to find their sire back in the saddle, and invite him to join them in destroying the world with the Judge. Buffy, meanwhile, knows only that Angel has disappeared, and the Slayerettes are no closer to finding out anything useful about how to stop the Judge. When Buffy finally finds Angel, he is standoffish of her feelings. Then he attacks Willow at the school, though Xander and Buffy manage to drive him off. Jenny, under pressure from Buffy, reveals that she knew about the curse, that it was removed, and that she had been sent to Sunnydale to keep an eye on Angel. She takes Buffy to her uncle, but Angel has gotten there first and killed him. Xander meanwhile, comes up with a plan; to use a missle launcher, a weapon that is made, not forged, against the Judge. It works, but Buffy finds it impossible to kill Angel when she confronts him.
Angel and Buffy obviously are on the out; indeed, Angel is disgusted with the way he acted around the Slayer, and is determined to hurt her in much the same way he hurt Drusilla before he turned her into a vampire. Xander and Cordelia are caught kissing by a devastated Willow. Xander's attempt to explain that it doesn't mean anything fall on deaf ears, as Willow realizes that;"You'd rather be with someone you hate than be with me". Later, Willow asks Oz if he wants to make out with her, wich he politely declines, knowing that she's only doing it to get back at Xander; the maturity of his response charms Willow. The Giles and Jenny coupling comes to a screeching halt with the revelation of Jenny's true reason for being in Sunnydale. Buffy continues to have prophetic dreams and Xander's memories of his transformation into a soldier remain intact("Halloween") and allow him and Cordelia to successfully break into an armory and make off with the missle launcher, and also allow Xander to instuct Buffy in its use.
