All three including Cordelia of her main circle of friendship try different ways to make the day Buffy's best birthday but to no success.

Willow's last resort comes to bringing Buffy to a renowned psychic who knows greatly of her power and may know the way to supress her exhausted uncaring feelings.

Buffy arrives at the and is soon put to sleep by a spell just before Willow is knocked violently unconsious.

Buffy comes to back in her home with her mother telling her to get ready for school.

While there finds an injured Willow who believes her wounds to have been caused by a trusty doorknob.

Buffy's memory returns to her recollecting the visit to the psychic and soon the very night on patrol gains heightened abilities of sense and smell.

Buffy stakes 40 vampires in Restfield Cemetary with her new abilities.

Angel oversees her power and consults with Giles.

Giles warns that something powerful, magical and dangerous may be arising in Buffy but she ignores and accidentally harms her friends.
