"No Future for You, Part Two" is the seventh issue of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight comic book series and part of the Season Eight meta-series.
Synopsis
Faith thinks back to her fight with Buffy many years ago just before Buffy's "Graduation Day". She stops reminiscing when she arrives at Genevieve's party, with a knife concealed in her hair. She hears Giles through an earbud, but throws it away, saying "I've got enough voices in my head already." When Faith gets to the entrance, she is confronted by tight security, inspecting guests who came to the party. Faith acts like a snooty rich girl, which allows her to pass in without an invitation. When Faith is inside, she pulls the knife from her hair, ready to attack Genevieve. However, Faith wonders why she is so nervous about this, when she had killed people before. Meanwhile, Roden watches over the party, and speaks to two gargoyles, telling them to be wary of the fourth person in Genevieve's receiving line: Faith.
In Scotland, Dawn and Willow have a conversation, and it turns around to the subject of Kenny, with whom everyone thinks Dawn had sex. Despite Willow's attempts to cheer Dawn up, she cries a little, when suddenly, Renee brings the message that Buffy needs Willow's advice on computer security.
Later, Faith is outside Genevieve's house, smoking a cigarette. Faith is determined to go back in and kill Genevieve once she had finished smoking. However, Genevieve startles Faith, who introduces herself as Hope Lyonne, daughter of the Viscount Avalon. As they chat about life and family, Faith slowly draws out the knife from her hair. Suddenly, Faith is lifted off her feet by Roden's gargoyles. She climbs onto one and sends it crashing to the ground. After disposing of the other, she faints.
In Genevieve's room, she and Roden are arguing whether or not to kill the unconscious Faith. Genevieve doesn't want to and thinks Faith would be a great asset as a partner. Faith wakes up and talks to Genevieve. Genevieve mentions that she wants to overtake the queen, Faith asked if Genevieve is going to kill the current queen of Britain. Genevieve opens her closet, which is filled with pictures of Buffy, the symbol of Twilight marked on one of them, and answers "No, Hope. Not Elizabeth."
