Spoiler Slayer

Short and sweet tonight, as I want to update the Spoiler Slayer page before 'The Amazing Race' comes on.

Spoiler Zone

If you swung by the site today, you will have noticed that I had a note about Wendy updating the Spoiler Zone with summaries about the same time I updated last night.

In the latest update, Wendy covers most of the info that has surfaced in the past week or so, but also provides mini-summaries for Episode 11 through 13.

Episode 11: Showtime Written by David Fury

Buffy picks up--and saves from the Bringers--another Potential Slayer, Rona. They return back to the house to find everyone, including three new Potentials, Eve, Vi and Chloe, awake and discussing the situation. Giles suggests going to an oracle for information. Meanwhile, Spike escapes the First and finds Buffy--but it's only a dream. The First, in the form of Buffy, taunts Spike some more, but Spike insists Buffy will come for him. Giles and Anya visit an old flame of Anya's, Torg, because only a demon can open a gateway to the oracle. While Buffy decides to release Andrew from the ropes, as long as he doesn't run, Willow learns another Potential has come to town. Buffy and Xander go to find her. The Potentials are scared, nervous, and demoralized, and the situation becomes worse when Buffy and Xander find the dead body of one of the Potentials in a motel room and rush back to confront her. But they can do nothing as the First dematerializes. Meanwhile, Giles and Anya find out from the oracle that there is a vulnerability in the Slayer line caused by the Slayer. Giles interprets this to mean that Buffy's resurrection was what caused the vulnerability. Anya feels guilty. Back at the Summers' home, everyone is in an uproar worrying about the coming night. Buffy asks Willow to create a magical barrier to protect them from the Ubervamp. The Ubervamp arrives and attacks. Willow's magical barrier can barely hold, so Buffy urges them all to run. They split up, hoping the Ubervamp will follow Buffy, but it follows the others. Xander has led them to a construction pit where the Ubervamp finds them. But Buffy is there and tells the Ubervamp that they will fight to the death there, and Buffy kills the Ubervamp, impressing the Potentials. Buffy gives another inspiring speech about how they will defeat the First. Later, Spike is alone, bound to the wall, when Buffy arrives. At first he thinks it is the First, but then he realizes it is Buffy, who has come for him. She cuts him down and supports him as they walk away.

Episode 12: Potential
Written by Rebecca Rand Kirshner

This takes place some time after the events of the last episode. Spike and Buffy are training the Potentials. Buffy has Spike attack her; she fights him and makes to stake him, but notices he is in some pain. She shows concern for him and he reassures her that he's going to be fine as the Potentials look on in interest. The next day, Buffy is lecturing the Potentials on what it means to be Chosen as Dawn watches, feeling neglected. Buffy goes to work and meets with Amanda, one fo the students from "Help." Amanda is having boy trouble, and Buffy can't help relating her problems to her own confusion over Spike. Later, Willow reveals that the coven has located another Potential--in Sunnydale. Buffy wonders if she should postpone her patrol with Spike and the Potentials, but Willow urges her to go. Willow does the spell, which indicates Dawn is the Potential. Dawn is overwhelmed and goes to her room while the others argue about whether to tell Buffy. Buffy and Spike take the Potentials to a demon bar where they run into Clem. Dawn sneaks out a window and runs into Amanda, who has just survived an attack from a vampire. Dawn tells Amanda she will help her. They return to the school and find the vamp, who attacks them. Meanwhile, Buffy and Spike have taken the Potentials to a crypt where some vamps have been nesting. They find a dead body--a vampire, which attacks. Buffy fights the vampire, lecturing about technique, intercut with Dawn fighting her vampire, doing the opposite of what Buffy is saying. Buffy fights the vamp for a while, then she and Spike lock the Potentials in the crypt with the stake. Meanwhile, Willow, Xander and Anya discover Dawn is gone. Willow does a locator spell to find her. As the vamp attacks Dawn, the Bringers enter, followed shortly thereafter by Buffy, Spike and Xander. Buffy and Spike dispatch the Bringers. Later, the Potentials celebrate their first slay, and Dawn and Xander talk about whether you need superpowers to be special.

Episode 13: The Killer in Me
Written by Drew Z. Greenberg

Giles takes the Potentials on a retreat to the desert. Buffy goes down to the basement to chat with Spike, who has been living there and who stays chained up unless Buffy is with him. Spike's chip repeatedly fires, hurting him badly. They don't know why it's happening. Buffy promises to help, but Spike suggests that maybe he wasn't supposed to live long enough to survive the chip. Buffy decides to call Riley to see if the Initiative can help. Meanwhile, Kennedy, one of the Potentials, has been playing sick to avoid going on the retreat. She talks Willow into going out with her and flirts with her. Later, Kennedy kisses Willow, and Willow turns into Warren! Willow decides to seek help from the college Wicca group, whose members include Amy. Amy does a spell that doesn't work. Willow runs away. Spike and Buffy return to the Initiative caves. A demon attacks, but Spike is hobbled by chip pain before he can help. The demon attacks Spike and Buffy kills it. As Buffy kneels by Spike to see if he is all right, they are surrounded by Initiative soldiers. The leader of the group says Riley sent them to help with Hostile 17. The leader tells Buffy that the chip will kill Spike unless it is removed or repaired--and that's Buffy's choice to make. Willow-Warren buys a gun and confronts Kennedy in the backyard of the Summers house. Willow-Warren talks about her guilt over Tara's death. Kennedy is able to get through to Willow.

As usual, I believe this to be very solid spoilage and I have no reason to doubt any of it.
