What's My Line?
It's Career Week at Sunnydale High for everyone but Buffy -- her fate as the
Slayer has already been sealed. While Buffy is bummed, Spike seeks out a
cure for Drusilla by having a transcriber go through a book stolen from
Giles. They realize the book is in code, and through tarot cards, they can
figure out what to do. While at the cemetery, Buffy enters a mausoleum and
sees the transcriber and another vampire -- she's able to kill the vampire,
but the transcriber eludes her. When she returns home, Angel is waiting for
her and warns her of trouble. She's still upset about Career Day, and
reveals her secret childhood obsession with ice skater Dorothy Hamill.
Giles worries about the missing vampire and what was taken from the
mausoleum. We see Spike with a coffin pillow adorned with a cross -- part of
the cure. He knows if Buffy keeps interrupting, he'll never get the key to
curing Drusilla, so he decides to summon bounty hunters -- the most savage
of killers. Giles chastises Buffy as they examine the mausoleum together and
Giles finds the name "duLac" -- he was the author of the stolen book Spike
has; a book of evil spells written in archaic Latin. They realize the cross
has been stolen from his crypt, and it is the tool which will allow Spike to
wreak havoc -- Giles says he must decipher the book first in order to save
them. Meanwhile, we strangers start hitting town and doing their damage--
one is a door-to-door cosmetic salesman, one is an evil-looking guy, and one
is a beautiful woman.
Buffy blows off the deciphering session to go skate with Angel, but Evil Guy
is already there. Angel tries to save her but she's able to cut the guy's
throat with her skate blade. Angel wigs when he sees the guy's ring -- Giles
identifies it as the symbol of the Order of Teraka -- the deadly assassins.
These are not the ordinary vamps; they'll stop at nothing to kill everything
in their paths. Buffy freaks and goes to Angel's house while Angel goes to a
local bar, trolling for information about the bounty hunters. The beautiful
woman arrives and attacks Angel, locking him in a cage where he'll be
vulnerable to deadly sunlight within hours. While working with the
transcriber, Spike has finally found the answer to curing Drusilla. As
Xander and Cordelia go looking for Buffy at her house, Cordelia lets the
cosmetics salesman in. Back at Angel's house, the beautiful woman tries to
kill Buffy with an axe, identifying herself as Kendra, The Vampire Slayer...
