Buffy, unsatisfied with her options for her future, endures Career Week at school while balancing slaying and dating. Spike, wishing to get rid of Buffy for good so that nothing will impede Dru's recovery, calls in the Order of Taraka, an ancient order of assassins; three strangers subsequently arrive in town. Spike and Drusilla get closer to finding her cure when they find the key to decoding the ancient text, and Angel is imprisoned by an unidentified assailant. Buffy, awaiting his return, falls asleep in his bed. When she wakes, she finds herself fending off Angel's attacker, who identifies herself as "Kendra, the Vampire Slayer."
