Willow is all set up by now in the library. She's got her orb and some candles and bones and whatnot. She casts some stones and then nods to Giles, who opens his book and starts chanting in Latin. Cordelia walks by waving some sage in the air, and Xander, well, Xander just watches. Probably partly in silent protest, but mostly because he's useless.

Buffy and Angelus duke it out in the graveyard. After Angelus flips her, she mutters, "Come on, Willow."

Kendra is guarding the main doors to the library as Willow speaks aloud part of the spell when suddenly a vampire springs out from behind the stacks and attacks Xander. The main doors burst open and Kendra whirls around, ready to defend, as two more vampires enter. Giles screams at everyone to get out. Willow and Cordelia break for the stairs as Kendra punches the first vampire who approaches her. Another vamp jumps Giles from behind and knocks him into the table. In the ensuing fray, a vampire pushes a bookcase onto Willow, knocking her unconscious. Giles hasn't been knocked out since "Passion" so it's his turn again as well. Xander's arm is broken by a vampire, but he manages to fight on anyway; pushing the vampire that he has been grappling with into the vampire who was in pursuit of Cordelia, who just stands there frozen with fright. Cordelia then screams and takes off through the stacks. Meanwhile, Kendra has just thrown one vampire through the window into Giles's office and is methodically going after another when she's tackled from the side.

At the graveyard, Buffy and Angel scuffle some more. Buffy pulls out Mr. Pointy and says, "Come on. Let's finish this. You and me." Angelus chuckles, saying, "You never learn do you? This wasn't about you! This was never about you." Buffy stands stock still, a slow horror dawning on her face as she realizes that she isn't the be-all and end-all of everyone's existence. Or maybe she realizes that it was all a trap. Either way, she takes off running.
