Season Three Image Gallery Coming Soon!
Buffy's trying to make it in the big city...and trying to forget the events of the previous year. But she discovers, *sigh* yet again, that her destiny won't be put on hold.
Upon her return to Sunnydale, Buffy tries hard to resume her life. Things would be ever so much easier if Principal Snyder would readmit her after her expulsion the previous year.
All is not quiet in the 'Dale, however. For starters, Kendra's replacement, Faith, is just a bit on the wild side. (A bit?!) And complicating matters (but pleasing fans) is Angel's return from Hell. Too bad he had to do it right after Buffy got into a new romantic relationship with Scott Hope, another senior at her school. Ouch. Bad timing, man.
Buffy tries to keep Angel's return a secret as Willow and Xander struggle against their attraction to one another. Ahh, poor Scoobies. You have no idea what's coming.
Xander catches Buffy with Angel, thus exposing their secret. Shortly after, Cordy and Oz discover Xander and Willow kissing, thus ending two relationships. Though Ox and Willow eventually get back together, Xander and Cordy never do, (*tear*) though they do begin to build a shaky friendship by the season's end.
Meanwhile, Faith is getting more in tune with her bad side, Giles is fired by the Watchers' Council, and a new Watcher, Wesley Wyndham-Pryce, is sent as Giles's replacement.
Things go to far when Faith kills an innocent man and blames it on Buffy, who was invloved but didn't actually do the killing. Faith's downward spiral (and her season arch, consequently) begins.
Turns out, Mayor Richard Wilkens III is evil. Duh, politician. But I mean really evil. Like "I-wanna-wipe-out-my-town-so-I-can-ascend-to-be-a-big-honkin'-demon" evil. And who should join forces with him but Faith, who's now double-timing the Scoobs.
As things progress, the Scoobs realize what's going on and set up a trap for Faith. After she unwittingly clues them in on all the Mayor's plans, the Scoobies are sure she's a lost cause for the most part. Faith sinks even furthur downward.
The Mayor hatches a plot to Ascend during the Sunnydale High graduation ceremony. In the meantime, he sends Faith to poison Angel to distract Buffy from her duty. It works.
The only cure for Angel is to drain the blood of a Slayer. Buffy sets out to find Faith.
In an awesome fight sequence, Buffy and Faith duke it out, which results in Faith being thrown into a coma. Buffy makes her way to Angel's mansion and forces him to drink her blood, after which he immediatly brings her to the hospital, where a dream gives Buffy a plan to stop the Mayor, though whether it will work or not remains to be seen.
