Featuring more subterfuge than a Shakespearean comedy, the good slayer/bad slayer plot thickens as Faith (Eliza Dushka) and the Mayor (Harry Groener) plan to take away Angel's (David Boreanaz) soul. Meanwhile, Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Giles (Anthony Stewart Head), and the rest of the gang debate the nature of the Ascension -- which says it will make a city disappear; they all agree this would not be good! Following the Mayor's orders, Faith steals the Books of Ascension from a demon she has killed. She then goes to Angel and attempts to seduce him and turn him evil. It does not work, but Buffy comes in on them just as Faith kisses Angel. Later, unaware that Faith is working with the Mayor, Wesley (Alexis Denisof) has Buffy and Faith go look for the Books of Ascension.
