Buffy nurses Angel back to health in secret. Scott breaks up with Buffy, telling her that she seems too distracted. Buffy, angry that Cordelia did not tell her about yearbook photographs, decides to compete with Cordelia for the title of Homecoming Queen. Preparing for the dance, Willow and Xander flirt with each other and share a kiss, despite their ongoing relationships. Spies, working for Mr. Trick, overhear Buffy saying that she and Faith will ride together in a limo to the Homecoming dance. Mr. Trick sends several vampires to kill the two Slayers. In an attempt to restore their friendship, Willow arranges for Cordelia to take Faith's place in the limo. The driver takes them to a clearing with a TV, which plays a recording of Mr. Trick announcing the SlayerFest '98 hunt. Buffy and Cordelia trap one vampire, then retreat to a cabin for shelter. They manage to contact Giles and escape. At the library, Cordelia kills one vampire and scares off another. Buffy tricks two other assailants into shooting each other dead. Mr. Trick visits the Mayor, who recruits him to help control the town's youth.
