Glory has the monk tied to a chair and is torturing him. She wants to know where the key is She complains that she hates being trapped in his body, in this world. The monk refuses to tell her where the key is. There is also a security guard in the room. When he pleas for his life, Glory ignores him. Her hands become transparent and she puts them through his head. Glory seems refreshed after doing that. The guard goes crazy.
Buffy enters the factory trying to find clues about an orb she found there earlier. Buffy sees the monk. The monk warns her about Glory. Glory creeps up behind her. Buffy grabs Glory by the throat. But Glory pulls Buffy off and throws her into a wall with great force. Glory and Buffy fight, but it's obvious that Glory is much stronger. Buffy realizing she can't win, grabs the monk and runs. When Buffy escapes, Glory can't go after her because one of her heels is broken. She gets angry and in a fit of rage brings the building down around her.
The Monk tells Buffy that the key Glory wants is in the form of her sister.
Glory asks for a favor from a A Lei-Ach demon. She wants him to seek out Buffy. The demons fail.
Glory is at the Sunnydale Zoo. She does a spell on a snake. Before they can finish Buffy comes in and hits her. The two fight again and Glory bests her again. Dreg finishes the spell and the snake is transformed into a snake demon. Glory sends the demon to find the key and tell her where it is. The snake finds Dawn at the Magic Box, but before it can return to Glory, Buffy kills it.
Jinx (Glory's minion) enters. He is beaten up (By Ben as a message for Glory). Jinx tells Glory that Ben isn't going to help. Glory is frustrated because all Ben has to do is turn over Buffy. Glory decides she will find Buffy herself.
Buffy comes home and finds Glory waiting for her in her house. Glory demands that Buffy tell her where the key is. Buffy tries to motion Dawn to leave, but Glory catches her. She tells Dawn that Buffy better give her the key. Glory lets Dawn go and tells Buffy that if she doesn't give her the key, she'll kill her mom and everyone she cares about.
At the end of the episode, the watchers tell Buffy that Glory is a god.
At her place, Glory interrogates the knight Orlando. She wants to know where the key is. Orlando does not know. Glory thinks about killing him. Instead she sucks his brain.
When Dawn goes to the hospital to find out what she is, she runs into Ben. They talk and Ben learns that Dawn is the key. Ben suddenly gets horrified and orders Dawn out. Dawn is confused and doesn't move. Ben turns into Glory.
Glory changes into something more her style from one of the lockers. Dawn thinks about escaping, but Glory says she would never make it to the door. When a guard enters, Glory breaks his neck. Glory threatens Dawn. She wants to know where Buffy is hiding the key. Glory explains that the key has been around a long time. Not as long as her though. When Glory thinks that Dawn has no clue where the key is, she intends to suck Dawn's brain. Before that could happen, the scoobies burst in. Buffy and Spike attack Glory while Giles and Xander use weapons. Glory easily takes on all of them, but Willow does a spell on Glory who disappears.
She reappears several hundred feet above Sunnydale, then falls to the ground.
The Minions bring Glory Spike who they have mistaken as the key. Glory chastises them when she realizes he's a vampire. The minions explained that Buffy protected Spike. Glory gets curious and wants to know why. Glory begins to torture him to learn. After she tortures him a little, Spike tells her the key is Bob Barker. Spike gets Glory angry enough, that she kicks him free. After Glory's minions tangle with Buffy, they come back to Glory empty handed. She is not pleased.
Glory is taking a bath while her minions are blindfolded. She complains about the dimension she's trapped in. She asks her minions to tell her everything they saw.
A little while later, Glory thinks she has figured out who the key is. She leaves to go get it.
Tara is sitting on a park bench, she feels a hand around hers. She thinks it's Willow, but when she turns, she's horrified to discovers it's Glory. Glory cracks Tara's wrist. She says she will kill everyone if Tara cries out. Glory digs her nails into Tara's hands to draw blood. When she tastes the blood, she learns that Tara isn't the key. She offers to let Tara go if she tells her who the key is. When Tara's refuses Glory sucks her brain.
