The Scooby Gang resurrects Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), after her death in the previous episode.
Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) returns to England, and a group of biker demons wreak havoc on Sunnydale.
With Buffy having been dead for five months, the Scooby Gang continue to patrol, led by Willow, whose power is progressing steadily.
After the bikers destroy an essential artifact of the resurrection spell, the Scooby gang members flee in multiple directions from the attacking demons, convinced the ritual has failed.
The disoriented Buffy roams through the town, coming upon demon bikers - Hellions - as they complete the destruction of the Buffybot.
As Spike investigates her, the head suggests to Dawn the real Buffy has returned; distraught, she runs away.
As the tower collapses, Buffy's instinct to protect Dawn takes control, and she carries her sister down a rope to the ground.
