 A new slayer, Faith, arrives in town and seems like a fun-loving, wild girl who fits right in with the gang. Buffy worries that Faith may be taking her place in her friends hearts, and she then begins to correctly suspect that Faith is hiding something. At the same time, Buffy is admitted back to school, but is still cold and distant, unable to get over or talk about killing Angel or respond to Scott Hope, a transfer student, who asks her on a date. Meanwhile, a very gay and suave vampire, named Mr. Trick, arrives in Sunnydale with his master, the disfigured Kakistos, whom are looking for Faith to settle an old score.
