Description:

After escaping from Luke, Buffy regroups with Giles, Xander, and Willow. Following up on Angel's cryptic clue, Giles and Willow investigate the Master in books of demon mythology while Buffy and Xander venture into the sewers in search of Jesse. To their horror, they discover that Jesse has been sired into a vampire and only narrowly escape him. Giles and Willow have discovered that Sunnydale is built on a Hellmouth, a portal to demon dimensions, and that the Master was an ancient cult leader who tried to open it only to become stuck after an earthquake disrupted the ritual. The vampires are gathering to the Hellmouth for some reason, and attack the Bronze. Buffy defeats them. In the Hellmouth, The Master reveals that drawing out the Slayer was the first step towards what must happen next. The following day, Giles worries that Buffy and her friends are ill-equipped for the fight ahead of them.
