Two words: Faith’s back. And oh, how we missed her!
This week’s ep kicked off in Faith’s dreamworld. Even
though she’s still in a Buffy-induced coma, she’s dreaming
of revenge. But in Faith’s dreams, Buffy’s the stalker
and Faith is innocent. She also imagines the Mayor looking out
for her until Buffy slashes his throat. Faith’s eyes pop
open and she escapes from the hospital, after pummeling some girl
and stealing her clothes. A nurse notifies the cops and some sort
of mysterious authorities.
Meanwhile, Buffy is determined to bust Riley out of
the Initiative hospital. No need: Riley shows up at Giles’,
determined to help Buffy, no matter what his Initiative cohorts
think. Then Buffy receives the call that Faith is on the loose.
Now she has two objectives: destroy monster-guy Adam and protect
those she loves from Faith.
The Scoobies hunt for Faith. Willow fills Tara in on
the sitch, while Giles and Xander run into a sulking Spike and
tell him about the hunt. Spike, to their dismay, feels that he
and Faith might make good pals. Meanwhile, Faith roughs up a demon
who delivers a tape to her that the Mayor made before he was destroyed.
On the tape, he advises Faith to use a strange little weapon he
has created for her.
Some strangers with British accents show up at Giles’
place – probably from The Council…?
Buffy explains to Willow that she hasn’t told
Riley the whole story about Faith; she sorta left out the details
about Angel. But Buffy doesn’t have to hunt long for Faith
(now wearing red lipstick--so much cuter!); the toxic avenger
shows up on campus where she and Buffy duke it out before Faith
runs away. And where does she run to? Buffy’s house.
Faith taunts Buffy’s mom, Joyce (where has she
been all season?), for thinking that Buffy would show up for a
rescue. Doesn’t Faith know better by now? Buffy bursts in
and the two slayers fight the dickens out of each other. Suddenly
Faith whips out that mysterious weapon from the Mayor and clasps
it in Buffy’s hand. Holy Freaky Friday, Batman! Faith is
now in Buffy’s bod.
