Summary

When Mrs. Walsh decides Buffy is a threat to the initiative, she decides to kill her. She sends her after dangerous demons with a faulty weapon, and when Buffy kills the demons anyway, she realizes Walsh wants her dead. Riley discovers that Mrs. Walsh has tried to kill Buffy and begins to think seriously of leaving the organization.


Expanded overview

Willow, Anya and Xander play poker and discuss Xander's plans to start selling the incredibly healthy Boost bars. They question the intentions of Riley and the Initiative. Buffy impresses Professor Walsh as she quickly passes a test of her strengths and fighting talents. Buffy talks about her night but Willow's quiet evening spent with friends, doesn't seem to compare. The Scooby Gang has plans that night to meet at the Bronze.


Giles visits Spike at his new crypt and gives Spike his money. Spike tries to make it clear that he has no interest in helping them anymore. Riley takes Buffy into the Initiative, which she is incredibly impressed to see. Led by Professor Walsh, Buffy is given the tour of the facility, and then is basically made a member of their team. Tara tries to give a crystal to Willow, but Willow doesn't want to accept. Professor Walsh enters their secure labs and room 314. After exchanging words with her colleague, Dr. Angleman, Professor Walsh checks up on her special project, a part-demon, part human creature named Adam.


Buffy is an hour late meeting her friends, and when she does show, she brings Riley and other Initiative members. Willow and Buffy talk about things, and Buffy reveals that she's now working with the Initiative. Willow questions how much trust Buffy should put in with them, and then Buffy rushes off with Riley and friends when all of their pagers go off. After being abandoned by Buffy, Willow goes to Tara's dorm room. Buffy and the commandos go out in teams to find and bring back the demon. Forrest is head of his own team, but is still upset because Buffy took his spot on Riley's team.


Forrest spots Hostile 17 and sends his team after the vampire. As Spike is running away, they shoot him with a tracer so that'll they'll be able to keep track of his location. The demon attacks; Buffy and Riley team up and fight it together. Afterwards, they go to Riley's dorm room to spend some quality time together. Professor Walsh watches from a secret camera hidden in Riley's room. Desperate, Spike goes to Giles for help and is forced to give up the last of Giles's money in exchange for that help. That day, Buffy is surprised to see Riley is still in bed by her side when she wakes. They talk, but when Buffy asks about 314, Riley gets a call from Professor Walsh, requesting his help. Walsh talks with Dr. Angleman and they decide it's time to go with their plan to get rid of Buffy.


Giles tries to remove the tracer from Spike's shoulder, but it's difficult and they don't have much time. Buffy gets back to her dorm room just as Willow is also returning from her night out. Buffy is beeped by the Initiative and is sent on a solo mission, which turns out to be a trap set by the Initiative. Wearing a microphone and camera, complete with a heart monitor, Buffy goes on the mission alone, but it turns out to be a trap set by Professor Walsh and the Initiative. Riley goes out with a team to find and recover Hostile 17.


With Willow doing a spell to buy them time, and Spike passed out from drinking, Giles continues his attempts to get the tracer out of the vampire's shoulder. It is finally removed and flushed down the toilet just in time to save Spike from Riley and his team. Buffy fights with two demons, and the heart monitor looses her heartbeat when she drops it to the ground. When Riley returns from his mission, Professor Walsh informs him that Buffy is dead. Having killed the two demons, Buffy comes on to the video camera and informs Walsh that her attempts to kill the Slayer failed. Riley sees this, and then walks out on Walsh.


Buffy returns to Giles's place, now very upset that the Initiative cannot be trusted. Walsh talks to the sleeping creature, Adam. An arm from the demon Buffy and Riley were sent out to capture has been attached to him. The Initiative has not only been running tests, but using various body parts from demons to build Adam. When Adam wakes, he skewers Professor Walsh with a tusk growing from his hand, speaking one word, "Mommy."


Arc significance

In this episode, Buffy and Riley finally realise that Professor Walsh is up to no good. Riley walks out on the initiative at this point, only to help them soon after Walsh is killed by Adam.


Adam will become the big bad of the season.
