An earthquake hits Sunnydale, unleashing some demons seeking the ingredients to bring about the end of the world -- "Again," Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and her friends groan. Meanwhile, Spike (James Marstens), tied up at Xander's (Nicholas Brendon) and utterly dispirited over losing his ability to kill (see "Pangs"), attempts suicide by falling on a stake. Buffy and friends decide that maybe taking him along to stop the end of the world might cheer him up. Then, Giles (Anthony Head) is attacked by the demons who steal a talisman from him, thereby collecting all they need to start the end of the world. Earlier in the episode, Buffy and Riley (Marc Blucas) -- who fought "The Gentlemen" together in "Hush" -- reveal their secret lives to each other. Buffy keeps the information about The Initiative from Giles.
