While the rest of the girls party, Buffy and Xander discuss the matter of a rogue slayer. Later, Buffy and Satsu discuss affairs of the heart as they take on a nest of vampires. And, when Twilight attacks, an epic brawl leaves Buffy reeling and questioning her own moral certainty.

Buffy and Satsu's amorous encounter is rudely interrupted when a gang of transmogrifying Japanese vampires storms the castle and steals Buffy's scythe. Later, Xander seeks the help of an old friend.

Realizing that the Japanese vampires have stolen his secrets, Dracula agrees to help Xander stop them. And, as Buffy's crew prepares to go to war, a Japanese slayer named Aiko tracks the vampires, with disastrous results.
