Summary
Today's tale opens in an elegant study where Andrew, dressed in an equally elegant smoking jacket, begins to tell us a story he likes to call Buffy, a Slayer of the Vampyrs.
In reality, Andrew is hogging the bathroom while he records the introduction to his documentary on Buffy and her friends.
Buffy is the only one who seems to mind the video documenting of their lives. In fact most of the team agrees that it would be nice to have a record of events if they do manage to save the world from the apocalyse. And if they don't, well, then what would be the harm?
Andrew introduces the team one by one and gives a little background on the events in Sunnydale thus far, presenting a bit of a revisionist history on his part in the events. Though he evisions her as a hero, he kind of tunes out when the Slayer lectures the team again with news of her recent vision of ubervamps.
In the meantime, things are heating up at Hellmouth High. It's like all the problems of the past (and some new ones) are popping up all at the same time, causing students and faculty to go quite insane. Even Wood briefly gets caught up in the evil when he and Buffy go to check out the Seal of Danzalthar.
Andrew uses the documentary as an opportunity to get a little background on the players and interviews Anya and Xander on their failed romance. This ultimately leads to a sexual reunion for the former fiancés that turns out to be more of a momentary thing.
Realising the answer to combating the evil oozing from the now glowing Seal may rest in Andrew, Buffy interrogates him for information. He again goes into his stories - taking a brief sidetrack to dream about being a god - and drops a hint regarding an important piece of information. The knife he used to kill Jonathan has ancient writing on the handle, which is just the clue they need to lead Buffy and Willow to a solution to their problem.
Buffy takes Andrew to the high school along with Spike and Wood as backup. Things are looking pretty grim as the team battles the unfortunately possessed students to get to the basement. Buffy leaves Wood and Spike to guard the door as she and Andrew head for the Seal? As the two left behind keep the students away, Wood gets the opportunity to kill the vamp that killed his mum, but fails to take it in time.
Buffy is forced to fight a few more students to get to the Seal, where she finally reveals the plan to Andrew. Only his blood will reverse the power of the Seal. Afraid that he's going to die, Andrew starts to tell his stories once more, but reality eventually wins out. As Buffy holds hiom over the Seal, Andrew finally admits to being a murderer and his tears of repentance are what actually stop the Seal from its evil glow. He returns home to his video camera, but shuts it off, not willing to tell anymore stories.
