Buffy seems abit odd to willow and xander and willow wonders about the possibility her being possessed, but Giles points out that she infact just has issues.
Buffy has trouble dealing with her experience with the Master, but when Cordelia and Ms.Calendar are kidnapped she realises she has to. However she is convinced that she has to save them on her own, which results in her walking into a trap, not set for her but for Giles and Willow who are needed to help restore the Master.
Angel and Xander help Buffy rescue the gang and Buffy works out her issues by smashing the Master's bones with a sledgehammer. The gang all forgave Buffy for being (in the words of
Xander) a bitca, understanding that she had been through a lot.
