"Lie To Me"
An old crush of Buffy's comes to Sunnydale. His name is Billy Fordham, or Ford. Anyways, he is apparently dying of cancer, and wants to have eternal life. In exchange for his eternal life, he has to give Spike the Slayer. And Ford knows that Buffy is the Slayer, *gasp* Conspiracy! There is a club called the "Sunset Club" for people who wanna become Vampires. They think Vampires are the greatest things since sliced bread. Angel puts it best when he calls them all "fools". Giles and Ms. Calendar had another date, they went to a Monster Truck Rally. When Buffy introduces Angel to Ford at the Bronze, she wanted to make Angel jealous because the night before, he was talking with a girl in the park, which was Drucilla, and Buffy thought that he might have been cheating on her. Anyways, Angel was very suspicious of Ford when he met him, so he asked Willow for some help. She did, and they found out that Ford wasn't even registered at the school. So one night, Willow, Xander, and Angel went to the "Setting Sun" and saw a lot of clueless-Vampire-wannabes who couldn't dress even if there life depended on it. They wanted to see if Ford was there, he wasn't, he was with Buffy slaying vamps. While Buffy's back was turned he let the Vamp go, and the Vamp stole a book from Giles'. Buffy didn't realize what Ford had done, so she called Giles back to the school. Later that night, Ford goes to Spike's lair in hopes to become a Vamp. Spike said "Do I have anyone on watch here? It's called security, people. Are you all asleep?" Anyways, Spike and him make a deal. Ford asked Buffy to meet him at nine o'clock at the "Sunset Club" She confronted Ford about him wanting to become a Vamp, and the trade. Just then, Spike, Dru, and the other Vamps came into the place and feasted on the gullible people. Buffy grabbed Dru and held a stake to her heart, demanding for everyone to leave. Spike let everyone go, and Ford was knocked out cold, on the floor. The next day Buffy and Giles buried Ford in the graveyard, suddenly Ford rose from his grave and tried to kill Buffy, but she drove a stake right through his chest. Eternal life denied.
Buffy asked if life would get easier, and Giles didn't know what to say.
Buffy:
"Lie to me."
Giles: "The good guys are stalwart and true. The bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats and we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after."
Buffy: "Liar."
Review:
This episode was super! I liked the fact that Vampires can get jealous too. A funny part that was kinda cute was when Angel went over to Willow's house. Theirs is a forbidden love. And Spike looked really hot! And he was funny too!

My Two Cents:
Why would Buffy be so nonchalant about Ford knowing that she's the Slayer? Ford told her that he knew when she was booted from Hemery, and that everyone else knew too. And yet she's like okay with it. I personally would be freakin'.
