15. Consequences

Complete story — includes the ending

Divers recover Allan's body in the river, where Faith had dumped it. Wesley asks Buffy and Faith to investigate his murder. Buffy confesses to Willow, who advises her to seek Giles. Faith, however, has already told Giles that Buffy killed Allan. Giles orders Buffy into his office, but tells Buffy that he knows Faith has lied. Wesley overhears their conversation and contacts the Watchers' Council. Xander offers to help, revealing that he has slept with Faith, upsetting Willow. Xander visits Faith, but she overpowers and starts to strangle him. Angel rescues Xander and chains Faith up, warning Buffy that Faith may have developed a taste for killing. Watchers led by Wesley arrive, subduing Angel and taking Faith away for judgment. Faith escapes, however. Buffy tracks down Faith, but fails to talk her down, and Buffy hits Faith in anger. They are interrupted by vampires led by Mr. Trick. Faith fights them off, and kills Mr. Trick before he can kill Buffy. Buffy expresses a hope to Giles that Faith may yet be redeemed, but Faith visits the Mayor and offers to replace Mr. Trick.
