Summary
Taken from Dusk
'til Dawn
Angelus' voices tell us it's Galway, in 1753. A human Angelus and
friend exit a tavern rather drunk. His friend drops to the floor while
Angelus sees a young and beautiful girl, it's Darla. They talk and Darla
makes him a vampire. Back to present day Sunnydale, Angelus is watching
Buffy fight two vampires with Xander. Giles is called to visit Sunnydale Museum to look at an artifact newly
found. He asks if they've tried to open it, but asks them not to, until
they've deciphered the text.
London - 1860, Drusilla enters a church and begins her confessions.
Angelus had murdered the Priest, and so takes his place listening to
Drusilla. She pleads for some instructions, and Angelus does so. She was
his next target.
Sunnydale, present day - Angelus hears about this artifact, but he
knows exactly what's inside, so he and Drusilla go to steal it. Meanwhile
at Sunnydale High Willow is coaching Buffy in chemistry. Buffy drops her
pencil and it rolls down the side of Jenny's desk. Buffy had a feeling of
deja vu, and repeats what she just did. The second time she found a yellow
disk, the same disk with Angel's cure on it, or the curse. Buffy and
Willow look at the disk on the computer and find out what it is.
Romania - -1898, an old lady is chanting. Angelus appears. His soul has
been restored, and he feels all the pain of his victims. Back to present
day in Sunnydale Willow and Buffy spread the good news. However Xander
disagrees and only thinks that Buffy wants her boyfriend back. At the
mansion Angelus tells Spike of Acathla, the demon in the stone. A special
ritual is needed to free Acathla. Angelus tries but fails. While this was
going on Buffy was outside and met up with Kendra who was directed to
Sunnydale by her Watcher. She has the sword that can force Acathla back
into the demon dimension, if the curse doesn't work.
Manhattan - 1996, Angel meets Whistler who tells him that his life
could be so much more. Whistler and Angel make their way to Los Angeles
where Angel sees Buffy at Hemery High for the first time. After some more
watching Angel finds out about Buffy's mother and father, and their
fights. He wanted to help, so he did. Sunnydale - present day, a female
vampire goes into the high school, into one of Buffy's exams. She tells
her of the meeting with Angelus that night, and then bursts into
flames.
Buffy goes to battle with Angelus. They duel it out, and then Buffy
realises it was a trick. In the library a hoard of vampires had invaded,
including Drusilla. Willow was knocked unconscious, Cordelia ran, Xander
had his arm broken, Giles was taken by the vamps and Kendra was killed by
Drusilla. After Buffy realised she ran back to the school, but was too
late, and also bumped into the cops...to be continued...
Buffy manages to evade the cops, and runs through gunfire. Buffy
disguises herself and heads to the hospital. She meets up with Xander, and
they hug. She finds out about Willow in a coma. But Giles wasn't there, he
was kidnapped by Angelus so that he could help him in the ritual. Buffy's
investigations starts at Giles' apartment. Here Buffy meets Whistler. He
says that things weren't meant to go this way and that Angel was meant to
be helping Buffy. Buffy heads for her home, and bumps into some police
officers and Spike. Spike gives a hand to Buffy in evading the police
officers. Spike admits that he doesn't want the world to end, and he wants
Drusilla back, but needs Buffy's help. Buffy reluctantly takes the alliance.
Spike and Buffy discuss further in the house. One of Angelus' vamps comes
in and Buffy stakes him.
Willow emerges from her coma with Oz just rushing in. At the Mansion
Giles is being tortured for the information that Angelus wants. At the
Summers' home Buffy and Spike come to an agreement, when it's over Spike
and Drusilla leave and never come back. When Spike leaves Joyce demands an
explanation. Buffy tries to give one, but Joyce wants more. Buffy's about
to walk out of the door when Joyce says, "If you walk out that door,
don't even think of coming back!". Buffy walks out of the door to
Joyce's dismay.
Willow wants to try the curse again in the hospital. Buffy retrieves
the sword which Kendra had brought. On leaving the library Buffy's told
that she's expelled from school by Principal Snyder. Drusilla is trying
her hypnotic skills on Giles. Giles sees Drusilla as Jenny, and tells her
everything. Buffy returns to Giles' apartment to know from Whistler how to
use the sword. All he said was that only Angel's blood will close the
vortex to hell. One blow of the sword will trap Angelus and Acathla in the
hell. Buffy heads to the Mansion, on her way she sees Xander. Xander wants
to help, and volunteers to get Giles. But he fails to tell her that Willow
is trying the curse again.
At the Mansion, as Angelus is about to pull the sword from Acathla,
Spike rises from his wheelchair and hits Angelus over the head. An angry
Drusilla attacks Spike for what he just did. In the mean time Angelus ran
over to Acathla and pulled the sword out. Xander goes to free Giles, and
they escape.
Willow, Cordelia and Oz try the curse again. This time Willow does some
channeling thing and speaks in the same tongue as the old gypsy did. While
this is going on Buffy and Angelus are dueling it out. As Willow finishes
the spell and Angel's soul is restored, Buffy was about to plunge the
sword into him. Angel doesn't remember a thing. Buffy and Angel kiss for
the last time, Buffy tells him to close his eyes and the she plunges the
sword into him, sealing him and Acathla into hell. Buffy breaks down into
tears.
Buffy packs up her things and leaves. Joyce goes into her bedroom only
to find a goodbye note. The last we see of Buffy is her leaving Sunnydale
on a bus.
