Primeval
Buffy tries to find Riley at the burned down Sunnydale High, but Riley is
actually at Adam's cave. Professor Walsh implanted a chip into Riley's chest
that chest that Adam has just activated. As Adam gives Riley a heart-to-heart
about their lives and Professor Walsh's plans, Spike shows up, wanting the chip
taken out now. Spike brags about separating the Scooby Gang from Buffy but
realizes a problem. Willow and Tara show up at Giles's place in search of
Willow's laptop and find him enjoying the effects of his drinking the night
before. Buffy regrets her fight with her friends, but realizes she has to find
Riley and stop Adam.
Anya finds Xander naked in bed, moping over his
fight with his friends. She curls up in bed with him and tells him how much she
cares for him. Battle-ax in hand, Buffy goes hunting for Adam in his cave, but
finds his workstation abandoned. Adam brings Riley into a secret area of the
Initiative. Very dead, but still moving versions of Professor Walsh and Dr.
Angleman are working on a body. The body sits up, revealing itself to be
Forrest, now party demon and machine. Buffy runs into Spike in the caves and he
pretends to know nothing about Adam's plan or work in the caves.
While
working on decrypting the disks, Willow discovers that the disks decrypt on
their own at a certain time. She finds out information that Adam wanted them to
know, specifically his plans for a superior race. Forrest tells Riley about
Adam's plan to make him a demon hybrid as well. Buffy arranges for a meeting on
campus with her Scooby Gang, and lets them know that Spike was the reason why
they were all fighting. Adam has been getting the demons on the inside of the
Initiative so that they will fight with the soldiers and he'll have plenty of
body parts for his new race.
Xander suggests that Buffy's strength,
Giles's language skills, and Willow's Wicca powers combined will be the only
thing to defeat Adam. They break into the Lowell house, and smash the mirror
doors that lead to the Initiative. Repelling down the elevator shaft, Buffy
apologizes to Willow and the two make up as friends again. The gang reunites as
good friends but are caught by Initiative soldiers before they can get inside
the facility.
Buffy and friends are brought before Colonel McNamara and
Buffy makes it very clear that he doesn't know anything about Adam and the
forces he's dealing with. He refuses to acknowledge any mistakes. Power is shut
down in the Initiative, and then Adam opens the doors to all the Hostiles. War
has broken out between the Initiative soldiers and the demons. They find Adam's
secret lab, but they have to fight their way to room 314 to get there.
While Buffy sneaks into Adam's lab, the gang is left in room 314 to
perform a ritual to help the Slayer defeat Adam. Riley doesn't do anything while
Adam orders Forrest to kill Buffy. While Buffy fights with Forrest, Riley cuts
into his chest with a broken piece of glass. The pain overwhelming, Riley rips
the chip from his chest. Riley kills Walsh and Angleman, then he fights with
Forrest while Buffy goes after Adam.
Buffy and Adam fight, and he
reveals his newly upgraded arm, that is now a sophisticated weapon, part
machine-gun, part rocket launcher. The ritual begins as Buffy causes an
electrical explosion, and she rises, her eyes glowing yellow. Adam fires at
Buffy, but she blocks the bullets, and turns a rocket into doves. Cornering Adam
against a wall, she reaches into his chest and pulls out his uranium power core,
killing him. A demon barges into room 314, but Spike kills it before it can hurt
him. Higher authorities discuss the Initiative operation, and decide to have it
destroyed. They suggest that all records be destroyed, and the building burned
and filled with concrete.
