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.

After a gruesome welcome to Tokyo, Buffy and Willow capture one of the Japanese vampires and learn of a sinister plan to revert all slayers into ordinary humans. Then, while Dawn goes "Godzilla" all over the streets of Tokyo, Buffy's team stumbles into Toro's trap.

After the shocking death of one of their own, Buffy and her team take on Toro's army of vampires. And, while Dawn slugs it out with her own mechanized doppelganger, Dracula and Willow team up to stop Toro and his diabolical spell. Finally, as Xander pays his last respects to a lost loved one, Buffy and Satsu share a warm goodbye.
