As Buffy and Spike catch their breaths after a round of boisterous vampire/slayer sex, they engage in a brief, but serious conversation about their relationship, and bring up the issue of trust. Later, Buffy asks Tara to check into the spell that brought her back to find out why Spike can hit her. The Troika test their latest gizmo, a mind-controlling orb, on Warren's ex-girlfriend to turn her into a sex slave, but the plan backfires, resulting in her death, and the trio frames Buffy for murder. Buffy decides to turn herself in, despite Dawn and Spike's pleas. Spike tries to stop her from throwing her life away again, but she verbally and physically thrashes him. While at the police station, Buffy realizes Warren is behind the murder. Later, Buffy learns she didn't "come back wrong," and is forced to confront the wrongness of her behavior toward Dawn and Spike. Distraught, Buffy breaks down and confesses her relationship with Spike to a supportive Tara.
