04E11 - Doomed

Buffy tells soldier Riley, who insists to be a nice, otherwise normal Iowa boy, she knows all about his secret military commando unit and that she is the slayer, and they agree on discretion and a time-out. However mismatched the involuntary house-mates are, frustratingly 'implant-innocent' Spike fails a suicide attempt by falling on a stake. Willow is sad to find Percy drove to Sunnydale all the way from USC to visit Laurie but considers her a negligible nerd. Giles presumes Buffy's panic after an seismic tremor unjustified, till he checks the triangular mark carved into a corpse Willow found a bed, left by a demon associated with the sacrifice of three. Buffy and Riley find one in the cemetery, each team is alerted, and the Word of Valios, it robbed by the demons, who may now be able to open the apocalyptic Hellmouth in the high school ruins left from the mayor's ascension.
