Plot synopsis

Summary

Faith's plan to hide her accidental murder in the last episode fails when Finch's body is quickly found. Wesley orders her and Buffy to investigate and see if anything supernatural was involved. Privately, Faith asks if Buffy is going to turn her in, and Buffy isn't sure. After some deep thinking she decides to tell Giles what happened, only to discover that Faith has already told him that Buffy was the killer. Luckily Giles instantly sees through the lie, though he lets Faith think he believes her so the gang can keep closer tabs on her and get her off the slippery slope she's on. Xander tries to reason with Faith, only to have her try to kill him. He's rescued by Angel, who tries his own brand of reasoning and seems to be making progress. Unfortunately, Wesley has also learned what happened and goes by the book, yanking Faith away for trial in England. She quickly escapes, and plans to hop a boat out of Sunnydale. Buffy finds her, but their meeting is interrupted by several vampires led by Mr. Trick. As he is about to bite Buffy, Faith stakes him and saves her. Buffy returns to the library, sure now that there is still good in Faith. However, in the final scene we see that Faith offers her services to the Mayor.

Expanded overview

Buffy dreams that she is underwater and being held there by Alan. As she breaks away, and reaches the surface, Faith is there and pushes her back under. When Buffy wakes, she finds her Mom is watching the news and they're covering the murder of Alan Finch.

The next day, Wesley instructs the two Slayers to investigate the murder, which Buffy is fearful of doing. Cordelia shows up briefly, looking for a book, and Wesley ogles at her before he finds out that she's a student. Buffy and Faith go to an empty classroom where Faith wonders if Buffy is going to rat her out; Buffy wants to tell Giles what happened. Buffy tries to talk to Willow but she's still hurt by Buffy spending so much time with Faith and ignoring her. The police inspect a dumpster which a woman saw blood on, as Angel watches from the shadows. The Mayor shreds Finch's files, and Trick provides Finch's autopsy report that describes splinters of wood in a wound straight through the heart with a pointed object-- and the news that the Slayers were out hunting not a block away.

Meanwhile, the Slayers go to Finch's office in search of answers but find all his files are gone. Faith does find a picture of Finch and The Mayor together, and shows signs of remorse. As they try to leave, they spot the Mayor and Mr. Trick talking, but luckily aren't caught. While walking on the streets later on, they get into an argument over Faith's lack of emotion for her situation. Buffy tries desperately to convince Faith that just because they're Slayers doesn't mean they have the right to take the life of a human. They were born with their strengths to fight demons and evil, not humans. Faith still doesn't want to listen, claiming that she's not going to feel remorse for killing a human that maybe deserved to die. As Slayers, they are above the law. The police interview both Slayers and their two stories are pretty close to the same.
