Storyline
| Plot Summary |
When Buffy sees Spike in Adam's cave, she realizes that Spike is causing the Scooby gang to destroy their friendship following Adam's instructions. She meets Willow, Xander and Giles and they apologize to each other. They also realize that the monsters were not captured by the Initiative, but actually they are the Trojan Horse of Adam to fight against the commandos from inside. Once Buffy alone is not able to defeat Adam, the Scooby gang decides to transfer the best of each one of them, i.e., the witch power of Willow, the strength of Xander and the expertise of Giles, to Buffy through witchcraft to make her powerful and capable of fighting against Adam. Meanwhile, Riley finds that he has a chip over his heart and connected to his central nervous system to modify his behavior and obey Adam. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The line "See what you get for taking French instead of Sumerian?" was changed from "See what you get for taking Spanish..." after Nicholas Brendon remembered established continuity. See more » |
| Goofs | Sarah Michelle Gellar had obviously lost weight between the 3rd and 4th seasons, therefore the difference between her and her stunt double is much more noticeable during the fight sequence with Adam. See more » |

Buffy: You know we love you, right? Willow: We totally do. Xander: Oh, God. We're gonna die, aren't we? See more » |
