What's My Line? Part 2
Kendra and Buffy call a truce and realize that the former truly is a Slayer. When one Slayer dies, another is activated, and Buffy did in fact die, however briefly. To Buffy's chagrin, Kendra seems more dedicated, more studious, and seems to get along better with Giles-but she also has had no life to speak of, and is long on duty but short on passion. Meanwhile, Angel has been rescued from his cage by the slimy bartender, Willy, who hands him over to Spike. The two other Tarakan assassins attack, one going after Xander and Cordelia at Buffy's house, the other shooting at Buffy in school. As the Slayerettes figure out for themselves, the ritual to restore Drusilla to full health requires the presence of her sire-Angel. Brutal questioning of Willy by the two Slayers reveals the location of the church where the ceremony will be performed, and they attack. Buffy manages to end the ceremony before Angel is drained of all life, then literally drops a church organ on Spike's head while the church burns around them. With the bad guys defeated and Angel saved, Kendra heads back home. But Drusilla has survived the church burning and rescued Spike-and sh'e stronger than ever. While trapped in Buffy's basement by one of the assassins, Xander and Cordelia get into a knockdown, drag-out argument that culminates a kiss, followed by a heartfelt, "We so need to get out of here"! Oz and Willow make the first steps toward their eventual relationship, as Oz saves Willow's life from one of the assassins, then proceeds to flirt with her while discussing animal crackers. Kendra's activation as the Slayer happened after Buffy died in "Prophecy Girl". Drusilla tortures Angel prior to the ceremony, reminding him of what he did to her. Spike and Drusilla have their roles reversed at the end of the episode, as Spike is badly injured and Drusilla is at full strength.
