Faith is approached by Giles with a dangerous assignment--to pose as a British aristocrat in order to assassinate a wealthy, rogue slayer under the tutelage of an Irish warlock.

Posing as a viscount's daughter, Faith infiltrates Lady Genevieve's gala and is attacked by Roden's gargoyle security team. Elsewhere, Willow offers to Dawn with her plus-sized problem and is called upon to upgrade the castle's defense system.

As Giles tries hopelessly to contact Faith, Lady Genevieve explains her rationale for wanting to assassinate Buffy.

As Faith and Genevieve battle to the death, Buffy confronts Giles about Faith's assignment.
