Picks up immediately where the first episode Welcome
to the Hellmouth left off:Luke (Brian Thompson) the vampire, is hovering above
Buffy, Vampire Slayer (Sarah Michelle Gellar), conveniently lieing in a casket,
to
suck her dry, & only a cruzifix conveniently hanging on her necklace saves
her life, & she even can save her friends Xander (Nicholas Brendon) & Willow
(Alyson Hannigan), who have been cornered by a horde of vampires. Whom she
can't save though is Jesse (Eric Balfour), who is abducted by the vampires to
the Master (Mark Metcalf) in their underground lair. & soon, the vampires
decide to use Jesse as bait to get Buffy ...
Meanwhile, above ground level, Buffy, Xander, Willow, & their school's
mysterious librarian Rupert
Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) discuss on how to save Jesse & deal with the
vampires - & their proposed harvest on Sunnydale - & soon Buffy figures
a way to get into the vampires lair & goes there to save him, even though
she knows it might be a trap, with Xander, eager to save his friend, following
her.
What they hadn't accounted for is, when they have finally found Jesse &
freed him from his chains, he turns out to be a vampire too - & Buffy &
Xander can safely escape the lair only with the greatest of efforts.
Back in the safety of their school, Buffy, Xander, Willow & Giles try to
figure out where the vampires would do their harveting - & come up with
Sunnydale's only nightclub, the Bronze.
But as they want to rush there, & 16-year-old Buffy only wants to stop
by her home for some extra stakes & holy water, she gets grounded by her
mom (Kristine Sutherland), giving the vampires a comfortable head start in
sucking dry teenagers.
In the end though, Buffy & co arrive just in time to prevent a blood
bath, & while Xander has to stake Jesse, his former best friend, Buffy
manages to take out Luke, which appears to be a fatal blow to the Master ...
On the next day at school, everything seems to go its normal run again, but
the Master ... is he dead ?
Of course not.
What goes for the first episode is pretty much applicable here as well
(since it is just a continuation anyways): entertaining blend of slasher- &
vampire-motives with high-school-soap- & action-elements.
