First Date

"First Date" is the fourteenth episode of season 7 of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Principal Wood asks Buffy out to dinner, to which she accepts partly because she likes him and partly because she is intrigued as to what he really is. Xander also agrees to go out at night with a girl he meets at a tool demo somewhere in Sunnydale. Things go very differently for them. Buffy finds out Robin Wood is in fact the son of a Slayer, trying to find his mother's killer. Xander in the meantime, discovers that the girl he was out with is a demon, as she ties him up to the wooden structure over the seal beneath the school and sticks a knife between his ribs.

At the Summers house, Willow receives an SMS with a help code from Xander and Spike offers himself to go fetch Buffy. He finds her at the restaurant with Wood and they all rush out to rescue Xander. When they get to the seal beneath the school, they fight and kill the demon and find Xander only slightly hurt. It all turns out to be almost alright but not quite, as Wood finds out Spike is a vampire.

At the end of the episode, the First shows itself to Wood in the guise of his dead mother and tells him it was Spike who murdered her.
