| 20. The Dark Age Original Air Date: November 10, 1997 Written by: Dean Batali & Rob Des Hotel Directed by: Bruce Seth Green Guest Cast: Stuart McLean (Philip Henry) Wendy Way (Dierdre) Michael Earl Reid (Custodian) Daniel Henry Murray (Creepy Cult Guy) Carlease Burke (Detective Winslow) Tony Sears (Morgue Attendant) John Bellucci (Man) A man tries to get into the library to see Giles, but Giles can't hear his desperate knocking as Buffy is doing her exercises to very loud music! The man is killed by a female demon. After killing him, she turns into a puddle of green goo. At school, Giles tells Buffy to meet him later at the hospital for a blood delivery, which tends to attract vampires. Back at the library, a detective is waiting for Giles --the dead man had Giles' address on him. Giles identifies the body as an old friend from London. The body has a tattoo on it, which Giles claims he can't identify. Shaken, Giles doesn't meet Buffy at the hospital, and she battles the vampires alone until Angel shows up. When Buffy goes to Giles' house to see what happened, he's disheveled and sends her away. He calls another friend in London and finds out that she's dead, too. As he rolls up his sleeves, we see he has the same tattoo as his friend. Meanwhile, the dead friend, Phillip, comes back to life in the morgue, his eyes flashing, and escapes. Saturday, Willow, Xander, and Cordelia meet with Jenny Calendar -- Giles' girlfriend -- for a computer class. Buffy shows up to express her concern about Giles' behavior. Cordelia mentions the police visit to the library, which slipped her Cordelia-centered mind. I n the library, Buffy finds Ethan, the costume shop owner and Giles old friend who tried to kill her on Halloween. Ethan tries to escape from her, but she catches him easily. As she calls Giles, Ethan mentions the "Mark of Eyghon." Giles says she's in danger, and the dead Phillip enters the library and attacks them, they manage to trap him in the book cage. A panicked Giles shows up and, after a scuffle which leaves Jenny unconscious, Phillip turns into the green goo. Some of it gets onto Jenny and when she comes to she seems normal, but we see her eyes flash. Giles offers to take the apparently disorientated Jenny home. Meanwhile, research freak Willow discovers some information about the "Mark of Eyghon" in a book: Eyghon possesses the body of a dead or unconscious host. They figure out that he's jumped from Phillip's body to Jenny's. Possessed Jenny, looking and sounding like a demon, tries to seduce Giles. When Buffy comes to the rescue, Demon - Jenny jumps out of the window. Giles explains to Buffy that he ran with a bad crowd when he was young, and they used Eyghon as a temporary high -- directing him in and out of each others' bodies. But one friend died, then later the girl who killed Phillip, and now it seems the rest of the group will die, too. Buffy goes to the deserted costume shop to try to help Ethan but he knocks her out, ties her up and tattoos her. He pours acid on his own tattoo so that Eyghon will take Buffy instead of him. Jenny enters, a full-tilt demon, and Buffy finaly breaks free. Angel arrives suddenly and fights and chokes Demon - Jenny: Feeling itself in danger, the spirit leaves her body and enters Angel's, since he's really dead (Willow's plan: you go, girl!) After a struggle with the Vampire - Demon that lives inside Angel, Eyghon passes through Angel, and Jenny's back to normal, but Ethan once again, escapes. Summary by:EpisodeGuides.com |
