Episode 209

What's My Line?: Part 1

Career Week looms over Sunnydale High, and Buffy is reminded once more that her career is likely to be unpaid, antisocial, and short. Angel suggests the two of them go ice skating to cheer Buffy up. Spike and Drusilla are planning something big, but they need to keep Buffy occupied, so they send for the Order of Taraka, deadly semi-human assassins. The first assassin attacks Buffy and Angel at the ice rink but is stopped by a Buffpowered ice skate to the jugular. The second is a man made of bugs, who is unwittingly let into Buffy's house by Cordy. Angel tries to beat information out of Willy the Snitch - an owner of a local bar that caters to demons - but the presumed third assassin appears and locks Angel in a cage, with the sun rising fast. This third assassin then finds and attacks Buffy, and the episode ends with her telling Buffy, "Me name is Kendra: The Vampire Slayer.”
