The Dark Age
A British gentleman comes to Sunnydale looking for Rupert Giles, but is killed by a dessicated creature he calls Dierdre. After the murder, the creature dissolves into blue goo. Giles later identifies the body as Philip Henry, and he denies knowing what the tattoo on Philip's right arm is-though Giles has the same tattoo in the same spot on his left arm. Later, Philip awakens and leaves the morgue, obviously possessed by what ever had taken over Dierdre. Buffy knows something is wrong when Giles misses a planned meeting, instead choosing to remain home a drink a lot. When Buffy finds Ethan Rayne lurking in the stacks, he informs her that it involves something called the Mouth of Eyghon. Giles tries to keep Buffy out of it, but when the demon moves from Philip to Jenny, Giles realizes he needs Buffy's help. He explains that he and five friends summoned Eyghon; the demon then killed one of them. Now the demon's back. It is Willow who comes up with a solution to defeat the demon without killing Jenny-get the demon to move from Jenny to Angel, who already has a demon inhabiting his body, and one that is much older and stronger. Giles and Jenny share their first kiss after she returns a book he lent her and the planning of a weekend excursion happens as well. Said plans are derailed by the return of Eyghon, and Eyghon's possession of Jenny puts a damper on their passion. At the end of the episode, Jenny makes it clear that she needs some distance from Giles.
