Buffy dreams that she is being pulled underwater by the corpse of Deputy Mayor Allan Finch; when she manages to reach the surface, Faith pushes her back down.
Faith's plan to cover up her accidental killing of the Deputy Mayor fails when Allan's body is recovered from the water.
Giles easily sees through the lie, though he lets Faith think he believes her so the gang can keep closer tabs on her and get her off the slippery slope she is on.
Giles tells Buffy that accidental human deaths do occur in the fight against vampires, and that Faith is in denial about the killing.
