After a brief confrontation with Buffy, they seek out Mel's employer Gunther to tell them the name of Harth's powerful benefactress. In the present, Willow and Kennedy try and find a way to return Buffy to the present while the Scottish HQ suffers at least 7 casualities from mystical fires and demons. Xander orders the other Slayers to escape, while Dawn rides him to safety.
