Buffy's (Sarah Michelle Gellar) friends begin expressing bad feelings toward the Initiative (see "The Initiative"). Anya (Emma Caulfield) doesn't appreciate their anti-demon policies and Xander (Nicholas Brendon) doesn't trust the secretive commando operation. Buffy couldn't disagree more, especially after Dr. Walsh (Lindsay Crouse) asks her to join the Initiative. Buffy and Riley (Marc Blucas) fight a demon together unaware that Maggie is watching them via hidden camera. Later, Dr. Walsh sends Buffy out to capture a harmless monster which turns out to be two large, strong demons. Dr. Walsh is watching as Buffy is cornered by the demons and the hidden camera cuts out. As she is telling Riley of Buffy's death, Buffy appears in her lab alive and angry. Afterwards, Dr. Walsh enters room 314 (see "A New Man") and awakens some kind of half-human monster who mutters the word "Mommy." It is implied in this episode that as Tara (Amber Benson) and Willow spend the whole night together, their feelings change toward each other. ~ All Movie Guide
Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Riley (Marc Blucas) are getting it on. Like, really getting it on. They don't want to stop -- not even as the Lowell House becomes cold and creepy around them. Preparing for a house party, the commandos try to build a fire in the fireplace which briefly explodes, leaving Mason (Neil Daly) severely burned. Meanwhile, Anya (Emma Caulfield) and Xander (Nicholas Brendon) break-up over not having sex for the first time in their relationship. Anya decides to take Spike (James Marsters) to the Lowell House party where Xander is also getting a little post relationship sympathy from Julie (Casey McCarthy). Soon, some partygoers discover that touching a certain wall fills you with intense sexual pleasure. All the while, Riley and Buffy become more isolated from the rest of the house. Then, Julie kisses Xander and runs away to cut off her hair because she feels dirty. A spin-the-bottle game comes to a disturbingly unsatisfactory end as the bottle explodes. Then, after encountering the ghost of a boy drowned in the bathtub, Willow (Alyson Hannigan) escapes the house to find Giles (Anthony Head). They discover the house was once an orphanage run by a women who tortured the children as punishment for their sinful desires. Buffy and Riley, still making love, are trapped in the house as the repressed children's ghosts threaten to destroy them. ~ All Movie Guide
A young rollerblader is torn between money and his personal morality in this family friendly made-for-TV movie. Andy Brinker (Erik Von Detten), known to his friends as "Brink," is a teenager who lives for in-line skating. Andy and his skating buddies skate for the sheer love of the sport, and view professional skaters with no small degree of suspicion. However, when Andy's family falls on hard times financially, he wants to do something to help, and after Andy is approached by Val Horrigan (Sam Horrigan), the manager of a team of pro skaters, he decides to swallow his pride and sign up. Andy's friends think he's betrayed his principles, and begin to shun him. What's worse, Andy soon learns just how corrupt and underhanded Val can really be, and he has to decide if bringing in a few bucks for his family is worth having to deal with someone so inherently dishonest. Brink first aired on The Disney Channel on August 29, 1998. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
