GILES: Previously on
Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

You seem determined
to put an end to all my fun,

just like you always did
when we were dating.

You dated a troll?

Well, he wasn't a troll then.

He was just
a big, dumb guy.

-Where is everyone?
-At the new high school.

Buffy's got some kind
of job there.

Spike's been staying
in the basement.
(Screaming)

-Willow?
-There you are.

We're really glad
that you're back.

Did you turn this nice lady's ex
into a giant worm monster?

(Laughs)
Yes.

I got the impression
that you enjoy inflicting--

Causing pain sounds
really cool, I know,

but turns out
it's really upsetting.

-Didn't used to be.
-It's the talk of the order.

-They're calling you
Miss Soft Serve.
-Excuse me?

No deaths, no eviscerations,
you're not goading women
into anything inventive,

and you're not delivering
when it is.

It was a glitch. I am
so back in the vengeance fold.

My advice to you is do exactly
what everyone else does
all the time.

-Got it.
-Do what everyone else does,

wear what everyone else wears,
say what everyone else says.

-Okay.
-People may say something
to you you don't understand.

Just don't be afraid to keep
your mouth shut and pretend like
you know what they're saying.

You know, Dawn,
I've been to college before.

People may say something
like, "My protein window
closes in an hour."

Just nod and smile.
"Mm-hmm."

Turns out it has something
to do with fitness.

BUFFY:
Have you talked
to her lately?

Not since that night
with the Gnarl demon.

And that wasn't exactly
the kind of "How have you
been?" kind of talking.

More the "Pierce its eye
with something sharp"
kind of talking.

I'm thinking
I should call her.

I just don't want you
to get your hopes up.

"Hopes"?
(Scoffs)
Oh, no, no, no.

There are no hopes.
Anya and I are done.
I love being single.

I'm a strong, successful male
who's giddy at the thought...

of all the women
I will no doubt be dating
in the near future.

Strong, successful males
say "giddy"?

-I just worry about her.
That's all.
-Anya?

Yeah. She seems so sad.

She should try acting
like everybody else more.

Apparently,
it's what all the kids
are doin' nowadays.

Well, I'm not sure
I get the sad vibe,

but there's definitely
a vengeance vibe
worth worrying about.

Oh, that? No, no.
I don't worry about that.

She was hurt,
and she just turned back
to what she knew...

when I, you know.

But that's not her
anymore.
I hope you're right.

She turned that worm guy back
before any real damage
happened, right?

It'll just
take some time.

I really think
she's coming around.

What have I done?

(Theme music plays)

(Murmurs)

(Chuckles)

(Speaking Old Norse)

(Speaking Old Norse)

(Battle-ax Clatters)

(Sighs)

SPIKE:
I don't trust
what I see anymore.

I don't know how
to explain it exactly.

It's like I've been
seein' things.

Dru used to see things,
you know?

She'd always be
starin' up at the sky
watchin' cherubs burn...

or the heavens bleed
or some nonsense.

I used to stare at her
and think she'd gone
completely "sack of hammers."

But she'd see the sky
when we were inside,

and it'd make her so happy.

She'd see showers.
She'd see stars.

Now I see her.

Spike.
I'm in trouble, Buffy.

I can help you.

(Exhales)

I could never ask,
not after--

It's different.
You're different.

I could never ask.

Spike, it's me.

It's you and it's me,
and we'll get through this.

Never.

We'll get through this.

Spike.
This basement is killing you.

This is the Hellmouth.
There is something bad
down here--

possibly everything bad.

(Laughing)

Can't hear you.
Can't hear you.

You have a soul?
Fine. Show me.

Scream "Montressor"
all you like, pet.

Get up and get out
of this basement.

I don't have
anywhere else to go.

(Bells Tolling)
(People Chattering)

It's not like I've been gone
for that long, and I've already
done all the reading I missed.

And I can sign up--
Willow, Willow.
It's okay.

We'll get you caught up
in no time.
Really?

What am I gonna say, "No,
I don't want my best student
back in my class"?

Of course I noticed
that drop-off in your grades
at midterms last year,

and I was concerned.
Yeah, that was--

But then, voilà,
you turned it around...

and aced all your finals
like, boom--magic.

(Uneasy Chuckle)
Yeah, similar to but--
Look,

come see me during
office hours tomorrow,

and we'll talk about
what we need to do

to get you caught up,
all right?

Uh, okay.
Thanks, Professor.

Anya.
Anya.

Willow, hi.
What are you doing here?

Oh, I am starting
back up at school again.

Yeah, I can't believe
how great everyone's been.

I-I was a little worried,
but I already have books
and homework,

and they even said they'd give
me periodic surprise quizzes...

just to make up
for the ones
that I missed and--

Wh-What--
What are you doin' here...

walkin' out of
the fraternity house
in the middle of the day?

Oh, I--Um,

I have a new boyfriend now.
He lives here.

-That's great.
-Yeah. We just had
lots and lots of sex.

Okay.

This is so great.
I am so happy
to see you've...

moved on.

Yes, we're tremendously happy
together.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm late for something...
important.

Oh, okay.
See ya later.

Hello?

Is anybod--

(Woman Whimpering)
I take it back.

(Whimpering Continues)
I take it back.
I take it back.

I take it back.
I take it back.

I take it back.
I take it--

I take it back.
I take it back.

I take it back.
I take it back.

(Whimpering)
I take it back.

I take it back.
I take it back.

-I take it back.
-It's okay.
You're okay.

-(Sobbing)
I-I take it back.
-What? What do you take back?

What happened?
There's gonna be a party.

(Crying)
Everyone's gonna be there.

Everyone's bringing a date.
I'll have a great time.

But it was just me...

and them.

(Sobs)
He broke up with me
in front of them.

I was a game.
It was all a game.

Uh, it's okay.
You're okay now.

They laughed,
and they laughed.

And I cried,
and they laughed.

And I yelled, "Just once,

"I wish you could all feel
what it's like to have
your hearts ripped out.

(Sobs)
"Just once, I wish--"

(Crying)
And then it came.

Okay.

Come on. What came?
What did this?

A spider.

Where did it go?

(Breath Quavering)
What do you mean?

The spider--
where is it now?

-(Whimpering)
-(Creature Screeching)

Protect!

(Whimpering)

For God's sake,
shut your whimpering mouth!

(Girl Gasping Softly)

I-I'm sorry.

(Shouting In Old Norse)

(All Shouting
In Old Norse)

(All Yelling)

(All Shouting)

Impressive.
Thank you.

What is that,
a Woodlow transmogrific spell?

Thornton's Hope.
Thornton's Hope?

But how did you get
the troll element?

Eel's-bane.
Eel's-bane.
Brilliant.

What'd he do?

Bar matron.

A load-bearing
bar matron.
Is there any other kind?

I'm sorry.
How rude of me.

Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is D'Hoffryn.

I am Aud.
Are you?

(Chuckles)
I am afraid you don't
see your true self.

You are Anyanka.

I'm a patron
of a family of sorts.
We're vengeance demons.

I'm sure
you've heard of us.
No. I'm sorry.

Oh, well, that's quite--
No, don't feel bad.

I, uh--I don't
talk to people much.

I mean, I talk to them,
but they don't talk to me...

except to say that
your questions are irksome...

and perhaps you should take
your furs and your literal
interpretations...

to the other side
of the river.

(Women Yelling)

I get the sense that
your talents are not fully
appreciated here, Anyanka.

We'd like you to join us.
Why do you keep calling me that?
My name is Aud.

Perhaps.
But Anyanka is who you are.

What would I have to do?

What you do best--
help wronged women
punish evil men.

(Olaf Grunting)

Vengeance.
But only to those
who deserve it.

They all deserve it.
That's where I was
goin' with that, yeah.

(Ringing)
Oh! Hello.

Willow, hey, is everything--

Oh. Spider demon.
Wait. Hold on.

Are you all right?
Uh. Like how?

Uh-huh. Uh-huh, wait.
Okay, go ahead.

No, no, no, no.
It's all good.
I'll get Xander to go.

But, seriously, you just--

What, ripped out the heart?
My God.

Hey, did you get
that physics class
you wanted?

This is just wonderful,
Anyanka.

There's even talk
of having some sort
of ceremony.

I can't tell you
how many times today
I've heard,

"Anyanka is back
to her old self again."

Honey, what is it?
What's wrong?

It's nothing.
I just--

There was just so much
screaming, so much blood.
Mmm.

I--I'd forgotten
how much damage
a Crimslaw demon could do.

Oh, tell me about it.
They can be feisty little guys.

And impossible to house-train.
I mean, once they start nesting,
forget--

Are you okay?
Oh, did something happen?

I guess I'm just
a little rusty.

I didn't think it would
hit me like this.

Oh, sweetie.
This is perfectly normal.

It's a reflex.
You'll get over it in no time.
Trust me.

Oh, Hallie, I can't tell you
how good it is.

Thank goodness you're here.
Oh, sweetie, of course.

It's just, lately,
what with everything
that's been going on,

I've had trouble
even remembering--
(Door Opens)

-Get out.
-Lemon drop.

-If you think I'm gonna--
-Get out.

It's okay.

Well, okay.

If you need anything,
you holler.

Anya, you have to stop this.

Do you know
what they did to her?
Do you?

It was a game.

They were humiliating her.
Anya, listen to me.

You're in trouble.
You know it.

I'm here to help you.

(Laughing)
You're here to--

Well, that's great, Willow.

Flayed anybody lately, have you?
How quickly they forget.

I haven't forgotten
one second of it.

-What do you want?
-I want to help you.

-They got what they deserved.
-No. They--

I am a vengeance demon.
Do you understand that?

No.
Try.

They got what they deserved.

Thanks for sidekicking.
I didn't want
to trouble Willow.

I figure
she's got enough to do,
first day back and all.

Are you kidding?
We're doing vent work
at the site.

Anything's better
than breathing Freon
for eight hours.

So, she say
what this thing is?

Some sort of
spider demony thingy.

She had to go pretty quickly.
I think she had to sign up
for classes or something.

Ah, yes. There is little
that can distract the Willow...

when she's on the hunt
for the mighty syllabi.

I don't know. I think
she's a little more nervous
than she was letting... on.

How big
she say this thing was?
She didn't.

But I can't imagine
she'd send us out
if it wasn't--

The heart's
completely ripped out.
This is our guy.

Or a copycat spider demon.

What's this black stuff?
I don't know.

Oh! It's sticky.
Willow said
it was a spider demon.

Maybe it's his webbing.
This isn't springy,
high-flying fun.

(Scraping)
Xander.

(Scraping)
XANDER:
Is that it?

I can't tell.
There's definitely
something moving up there.

Maybe we can somehow
lure it.

-(Grunts)
-Xander!

(Screeching)

(Straining, Groaning)
(Screeching)

(Screaming)
No!

You okay?

Buffy? Where'd it go?

I think
we need more swords.
Uh-huh.

I say we go home,
pick up more swords...

and some sort of
spidery demon
protection amulet.

We come back and--

(Screeching)

Or--

I'm more concerned with
where that thing came from.

If there are more of those
spider demons running around,
we need to know about it.

We should hit the research.
Find out if--

I know
where it came from.

How many?
WILLOW:
Ten, 12.

When were you planning
on telling us?
I'm telling you now.

XANDER:
Great. Thank you.

Willow, it's Anya.
How could you let us--

How could you
not have told us?

Xander.
How could you
not have told me?

Xander, it's okay.

She didn't tell us
for a reason.

She didn't tell us
because she knows
what I have to do.

I have to kill Anya.

(Person Laughing,
Murmuring)
(Utensils Clattering)

(Laughing)
HALFREK: I swear
I'm in awe of you.

Oh, stop.
Oh, I will not.

I grant wishes.

It's all inside the girl.
I just bring it out.
(Cannons Exploding Outside)

Yes, I'm sure this is
what she had in mind.

Well, I don't know
about her mind,
but it was in her heart.

Besides, Russia
was ready to explode.

All we did is just
give it a little push.

What should we do
with the rest
of our evening?

I hear they're going
to raze the Winter Mansion.

Well, I thought we'd head down
to Madame Dubasov's.

No better spot for vengeance
than a brothel.
Oh.

It's always
work, work, work with you.
(Man Gasping)

-(Man Shouts In Russian)
-Well, of course.
What else is there?

-(Man Screaming)
-"What else is there?" Why,
the whole world, for one.

Darling, take a look around.
There's a lot to see.

There's a revolution
going on outside...

(Gunfire)
that you are somewhat
responsible for.

Aren't you the teeniest bit
interested?

What is there
to be interested in?

(People Screaming Outside)
The worker will overthrow
absolutism...

and lead the proletariat
to a victorious
Communist revolution,

resulting in socioeconomic
paradise on earth.

It's common sense really.
I have better things
to worry about.

But, Anyanka, there's
a whole world out there.

Yes, filled with wronged women
who need my help.

Oh, you're talking
about work.
I'm talking about life.

Vengeance is what I do, Halfrek.
I don't need anything else.

Vengeance is what I am.

She's not the Anya
that you knew, Xander.

She's a demon.
That doesn't mean
you have to kill her.

Don't act
like this is easy for me.
You know it's not.

There are other options.

I've considered them.
When?

Just now? Took you
all of 10 seconds to decide to
kill one of your best friends?

The thought
that it might come to this
has occurred to me before.

It's occurred to you too.

But we can change
what she did, fix it.

These are
mystical deaths, right?
There has to be something.

I don't have anywhere near
that kind of power.

I didn't have
that kind of power when--

And I--I don't think
I trust the power I do have.

It's okay.

Xander, I know this is
hard for you to hear,

but it's what I have to do.

Hard for me to hear?
Buffy, you want to kill Anya.

I don't want to.
Then don't.

This isn't new ground for us.

When our friends go all crazy
and start killing people,
we help them.

Sitting right here.
I'm sorry.
But it's true.

It's different.
Because you don't care about her
the same way I do.

Buffy, I still love her.
I know.

And that's why
you can't see this
for what it really is.

Willow was different.
She's a human.

-Anya's a demon.
-And you're the Slayer.

I see now
how it's all very simple.

It is never simple.
No, of course not.

You know, if there's
a mass-murdering demon...

that you're, oh, say, boning,
then it's all gray area.

Spike was harmless.
He was helping.

He had no choice.
And Anya did.

She chose
to become a demon--twice.

You have no idea
what she's going through.

I don't care
what she's going through.
No, of course not.

You think we haven't
all seen this before--

the part where you just
cut us all out,

just step away
from everything human
and act like you're the law?

-If you knew what I felt--
-I killed Angel!

Do you even remember that?

I would have given up
everything I had
to be with--

I loved him more
than I will ever love
anything in this life,

and I put a sword
through his heart
because I had to.

And that all
worked out okay.

Do you remember
cheering me on?
Both of you.

Do you remember giving me
Willow's message?

-"Kick his ass."
-I never said that.

This is different.
It is always different!

It's always complicated.

And, at some point, someone
has to draw the line,

and that is always
going to be me.

You-You get down on me
for cutting myself off,

but, in the end, the Slayer
is always cut off.

There's no mystical guidebook,
no all-knowing council.
Human rules don't apply.

There's only me.

I am the law.

-There has to be another way.
-Then please find it.

(Door Slams)

I can't.
I'm-I'm sorry.

(Door Opens, Closes)

(Speaking In Latin)

...nomina D'Hoffrynis.

(Exhales, Continues In Latin)

Behold D'Hoffryn,
Lord of Arashmahar,

he that turns the air
to blood and rains t--

Ms. Rosenberg,
how lovely to see you again.

Have you done something
with your hair?

Hello, D'Hoffryn.
I figured I'd be
hearing from you soon.

The flaying of Warren Mears--
oh, truly inspired.

That was "watercooler"
vengeance.

Yes. Lloyd has
a sketch of it
on his wall.

That's not me anymore.
Is that right?

So, I didn't feel
your presence
earlier today?

I didn't feel
a bit of the old you?

We need to talk about Anya.

(Sighs)

Very well.
Let's talk about Anyanka.

(Door Opens)
XANDER: I thought
I might find you here.

Have you forced yourself
to look at the bodies yet?

-What do you want?
-I want to help you.

Everyone
is so considerate today.

I should've slaughtered
people weeks ago.
I'm sorry.

I'm sorry
for everything I did to you,
everything I put you through.

Thank you.
All better.

Thank goodness
you got here in time.
You don't understand.

This isn't an intervention.
Buffy's coming to kill you.

-She's coming to try.
-Did everybody have
their "crazyflakes" today?

You guys are friends.
How could you talk like this?

I have a job to do,
and so does Buffy.

Xander, you've always seen
what you wanted to,

but she knew, sooner or later,
it would come to this.

Buffy, get outta here.

-Get out of my way, Xander.
-No.

-Get out of her way, Xander.
-(Groans)

This is getting to be
a pattern with you, Buffy.

Are there
any friends of yours left
you haven't tried to kill?

Come on, Buffy.
Don't you have
a clever retort for me?

(Anya Yelling)

-Anya, I'm sorry.
-You're apologizing to me?

What fight are you watching?

Or is this like one of your
little pop culture references
I don't get...

'cause I'm a vengeance--

(Moans)

(Murmurs)

I just want...

happy... ending.

Honey.

Honey.
What? I'm awake.

I'm okay.

Honey, was-was that weird--

that thing earlier
with the singing...

and the coconuts?

What?

No. It's fine.

MAN AND WOMAN:
* Oh, no

MAN:
* Mustard on my shirt
WOMAN: * Mustard

* I'll never get it out
* My favorite dress shirt

* Dry-clean it
* How could you serve

(Together)
* Mustard
(Sighs)

Are you still hungry?
Because I'd be--

* Mr. Xander Harris

* That's what he is
to the world outside *

* That's the name
he carries with pride *

* I'm just lately Anya

* Not very much to the world
I know *

* All these years
with nothing to show *

* I've boned a troll
I've wreaked some wrath *

* But on the whole
I've had no path *

* I like to bowl
I'm good with math *

* But who am I

* Now I reply

* That I'm the missus

* I will be his Mrs.

* Mrs. Anya Christina
Emmanuella Jenkins Harris *

* What's the point of loving

* I mean
except for the sweaty part *

* What's the point
of losing your heart *

* Maybe if you're lucky

* Being a pair
makes you twice as tall *

* Maybe you're not losing
at all *

* No need to cover up my heart

* Plus see above
re sweaty part *

* So maybe love is pretty smart
Then so am I *

* I found my guy

* And I'll be Mrs.

* I will be his missus

* Mrs. Anya "Lame-Ass Made-Up
Maiden Name" Harris *

* We'll never part

* Not if we can

* And if we start

* Then here's my plan

* I'll show him
what bliss is *

* Welcome him with kisses

* 'Cause this is a missus
who misses her man *

* He's my Xander
and he's awfully swell *

* It makes financial sense
as well *

* Although he can be--
I'll never tell *

* Just stand aside

* Here comes the bride

* I'll be Mrs.

* I will be his missus

* I will be--*

(Exhales)
Anya.

(Gasps)

(Sighs)

I'd forgotten how much
swords through the chest hurt.

(Yells)

(Gasps, Exhales)

You know better than that,
Buffy.

Takes a lot more
to kill a vengeance demon.

Oh, I'm just getting started.

Stop trying
to save me, Xander!

(Door Slams)

Oh, please, don't mind me.
Continue with whatever it was
you were doing.

(Sighs, Out Of Breath)

Oh! Breathtaking.

It's like somebody slaughtered
an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog.

Easy now. I'd be gone
before you could swing.

Isn't that
just like a Slayer?

Solving all her problems
by sticking things
with sharp objects.

I talked to your friend,
Ms. Rosenberg.

She's a firebrand.
I have high hopes for her.

Stay away from Willow.

Oh, he's gallant,
isn't he?

I understand
what you saw in him.

Ms. Rosenberg seems to think
Anyanka would be better-suited
outside the vengeance fold.

I think we already know
what Lady "Hacks Away" wants.

And the young man, well,
he sees with the eyeballs
of love.

But I'm not sure if anyone's
bothered to find out what
Anyanka herself really wants.

Her name is Anya.
Actually, a funny
historical sidebar.

Her original name was--
ANYA:
I wanna take it back.

I'm sorry.
What was that?

(Crying)
I wanna take it back.

I want to undo
what I did.

Hmm.
You want to take it back.

Must be 12 bodies in there.

Such a thing--
not easily done...

but not impossible.

You're a big girl, Anyanka.
You understand how this works.

The proverbial scales
must balance.

In order to restore
the lives of the victims,
the fates require a sacrifice--

the life and soul
of a vengeance demon.

-(Breath Quavers)
Do it.
-Wait!

-Stay out of this, Xander.
-Okay, right.

That seems smart.

He just said you have to die.

Perhaps there's some sort of...
alternate price.

Xander,
you can't help me.

I'm not even sure
there's a me to help.

I understand the price.
Do it.

You're sure?
This is your wish?

This is my wish.

Undo what I did.

Very well.
(Clap)

-No!
-(Energy Burst)

Anya.

-Hallie?
-(Screams)

(Gasps)

Who did you think
you were dealing with?

Did you think it would be
that easy to get away?
Why?

Why?
(Laughs)
Because you wished it!

But she was yours.
The way you were mine?

Haven't I taught you
anything, Anya?

Never go for the kill
when you can go for the pain.

Hold him back, Slayer.
Wouldn't want anyone
to get hurt.

I've got plenty of girls.

There will always
be vengeance demons,

but now you, Anya,
you're out.

Congratulations.
Your wish is granted.

You should have killed me.
(Scoffs)

(Chuckling)
Oh, I wouldn't worry
about that.

From beneath you,
it devours.

Be patient.
All good things in time.

(Door Opens, Closes)
Go. I'll check
on the boys.

(Frat Boys
Chattering)

Anya, wait.

Xander, please,
just go away.

Whatever's between us,
it doesn't matter.

You shouldn't
be alone in this.

Yes, I should.

My whole life--
(Exhales)

I've just clung
to whatever came along.

Well, speaking as a "clingee,"
I kinda didn't mind.

Thanks... for everything.

(Sighs)

Xander.

What if I'm really nobody?

Don't be a dope.

I'm a dope.

Sometimes.

Well, that's a start.

(Sighs)

(Sniffling)

(Theme music playing)

Grr! Arrgh!
