At the cemetery, Buffy spies Angel talking to a strange girl -- who we recognize as Drusilla, the evil Spike's spaced-out paramour.
                                      The next day at school, Buffy runs into an old friend, Billy Fordham.
                                      "Ford" has transferred to Sunnydale from their old school in LA (from which Buffy
                                       was suspended).
                                      Later at the Bronze, Ford sees her fighting a Vampire and admits that he knows
                                      she's the slayer.
                                      We later see him enter a building which is crawling with ghoulish people and find out
                                      he is plotting something with them.
                                      Angel, who's gotten a bad vibe from Ford, enlists Willow's help in investigating the
                                      kid on the Internet.
Meanwhile, Buffy and Ford encounter some vampires on school grounds, Buffy runs off to slay one, leaving Ford to deal with a female Vampire. Ford tells the girl vampire he'll spare her if she'll give him information.
When Buffy returns, he pretends that he killed the girl.
Even though Willow doesn't find any incriminating evidence against Ford, Angel's still sure he's bad news, and he, Willow and Xander go to Ford's hangout.
t seems all these creepy kids are not really undead, but just vampire wannabes.
Concerned that the vampires have come to Sunnydale High, Buffy beeps Giles, who's out on a date with Miss Calendar.
They all meet at the library, and Buffy spots a picture of Drusilla in Giles' book.
Suddenly, a girl vampire runs in, grabs the book and flees -- the vampire Ford said he killed.
Back at Spike's lair, Ford enters and offers His Evilness a deal -- if he'll turn Ford
into a vampire, Ford will give him Buffy. Spike, at Drusillas prompting, agrees!
Angel finally warns Buffy about Ford. When she confronts him about Drusilla, he
reluctantly reveals that he was responsible for her death -- as a vampire, he had
been obsessed with her, and he tortured, made her insane and killed her.
Buffy finally trusts Angel, and agrees to go out with Ford to set him up.
When she goes to his hangout he and his friends lock her in.
Buffy tries hard to explain to them that becoming a vampire doesn't mean living
eternally, but Ford takes her aside and confides that he has only 6 months to live, and this is the best alternative to death he can find.
                                          At sunset, Spike, Dru and company bust in and start ravaging the group.
                                          Buffy grabs Dru and tells Spike she'll kill his girl unless everyone is released.
                                          The wannabes are released and Buffy escapes, but leaves Ford inside to the
                                          death he prayed for.
                                          As Buffy and Giles chat at the cemetery, Ford pops out of his grave and she
                                          slays him as easily as swatting a fly and goes back to her conversation.
