oct 6, 1998 - Faith, Hope & Trick

Description:

Two vampires, Mr. Trick and Kakistos, arrive in Sunnydale. Buffy is readmitted to school by a reluctant Snyder. At The Bronze, Buffy sees a young woman leaving with a vampire. Fearing for her life, she follows them, but watches the woman kill the vampire, introducing herself as the Slayer Faith. Faith's arrival causes tension, as she appears more enthusiastic about her role than Buffy, and flirts with Scott Hope, Buffy's potential love interest. Scott asks Buffy on a date. She initially accepts, but is startled after he gives her a ring similar to one Angel gave her. Giles tells Buffy that Faith's Watcher is dead. Buffy goes to warn Faith, but she already knows, having come to Sunnydale to escape from Kakistos. Kakistos leads an attack on the pair. Mr. Trick leaves the fight halfway through, while Faith and Buffy kill Kakistos. In the library later, Buffy reveals to Willow and Giles that Angel's soul was restored just before she had to kill him. Faith stays in Sunnydale. Buffy agrees to go on a date with Scott. She abandons a ring in the mansion where Angel had died.
