Becoming, Part I

In a classroom, Buffy and the gang are taking an exam as a shrouded figure walks through the hallway towards the Scooby's class. No one really notices the figure entering until it pulls the shawl off of its face and says, "Tonight. Sundown. At the graveyard," before beginning to smoke. "You will come to him or more will die," continues the vampire, while pointing at Buffy. But then the indirect sunlight that Angel so effortlessly avoids on a daily basis becomes too much and our message bearer is overcome. Man, that Angel is such a drama queen. You'd think he could've just called or something.

At the library, everyone is researching except for Giles and Buffy, who are on the mezzanine level discussing recent events. Kendra overhears Buffy say, "She said more would die. I have to go," and decides that she should go "wit'" Buffy. Buffy tells Kendra that she should stay at the library "just in case." Willow says that she needs to cross-check the ritual, but Buffy cuts her off, saying that they're out of time. Willow tells Buffy that she needs thirty minutes to perform the ritual once they're all set up, and Giles advises Buffy to just "hold Angel off. Don't let him close on you." Xander cautions Buffy to take care, and she starts to leave, but Kendra stops her to hand over her lucky stake, "Mr. Pointy." Buffy is amused but touched by the gift, and then leaves to go walk into the trap Angel has set.

At the cemetery, Buffy is pacing alertly as Angel walk out from behind a mausoleum. "Hello, lover. I wasn't sure you'd come." Buffy: "After your immolation-o-gram? Come on, I had to show." Yet again, I'm finding it hard to believe that a girl who knows the word "immolation" wouldn't know that there's more than one definition for "dyke." Anyway, Angel tells Buffy that she's "the one thing in this dimension I will miss." Buffy, steely-voiced, deadpans, "This is a beautiful moment we're having. Can we please fight?" Angel quips that he was actually interested in getting back together with Buffy, but upon catching her look says, "All right. We'll fight," and rushes her.
