Everyone breaks up to look for it. Xander sees Angel in the cemetary with the glove he follows Angel to the mansion. When he gets to the mansion he spies through a window, Buffy and Angel engaged in smoochies. They blame their smoochies on it being a hard habit to break.

The next day in the library, the gang is talking about what Xander saw. Buffy comes in on them discussing that particular event to say she knows someone who has the glove and is keeping it safe for her. Xander declares they Angel is back and that it is dangerous for her to be hanging around him. Everyone is a sourpuss to say the least, especially Giles who is quick to remind Buffy Angel's history of wreaking havoc and the fact that he tortured Giles. Ms. Post goes to Faith's living quarters to start training. Ms. Post makes a little annoyed comment about being kept in the dark while Giles and Buffy's friends have a secret meeting. Faith assumes that they are conversing about her without her knowledge and that they don't consider her a friend, a "bud". At the Bronze Xander is fuming while playing pool, when Faith comes in. Xander vents to Faith about Angel being in town and how much he hates Angel. Faith decides she's going to kill Angel. They head over to the library to where the weapons live. Meanwhile, Giles tells Gwendolyn over a cup of find English tea that the way to destroy the glove is by the living flame. Gwendolyn goes psycho and wacks Giles unconcious when he tells her the wherabouts of the glove. Xander and Faith come in and find Giles there and they assume Angel was the culprit. Xander stays with Giles and calls 911, while Faith goes to do her duty at the mansion. Giles comes to long enough to tell Xander the living flame is the only way to destroy the glove. Meanwhile, Buffy and Willow are discussing secrets and their harm. Buffy says that even though everyone is angry with her it is nice to have her secret about Angel being back out in the open. Willow hints around and she comes very close to coming clean about the entire her and Xander issue. However, before Willow can tell Buffy the demon looking for the glove shows up. Buffy is quick to behead him. When Buffy asks what Willow was going to tell her Willow wimps out and tells Buffy she opened her SATs' booklet 5 minutes early. Fresh off the victory of defeating Logous (the demon) Buffy and Willow go to the library to share the news. Xander tells them his and Faith's suspicions. Buffy doesn't believe Angel could do anything bad like that no At the mansion Angel is in the middle of a ritual (living flame) to destroy the glove. Gwendolyn shows up and introduces herself as someone helping Giles. Angel believes her and gives her his back, but not before telling her where the glove is. Then, Gwendolyn wacks him over the head with a shovel. Whose reaction, of not dying, alerts her to the fact Angel is a vampire. He hits her when she tries to get to the glove. Faith comes in to find Gwendolyn lying dazed on the floor. She believes Gwendolyn when Gwendolyn tells her Angel hurt her. Faith tries to stake Angel and would have succeeded if Buffy hadn't come in at that moment and tackled her. Buffy and Faith fight it out, while Angel lies on the floor, injured. Gwendolyn uses this chaos to put the glove on. Willow and Xander arrive just in time to be blasted at with lightening bolts from the glove. Xander manages to get out of the way but runs into a wall while trying to get Buffy and Faith to stop fighting. Willow is almost hit but Angel saves her in the nick of time. Gwendolyn tells Faith she's a trusting idiot. Buffy uses a piece of broken glass form the window she and Faith crashed through while they were fighting to cut off Gwendolyn's arm that has the glove on it. Gwendolyn is electricuted by the lightening she was using against others. Since, she's dead they are able to continue the ritual and destroy the glove.

Next day, Giles is up and around. He called the Watcher council and they claim they sent out a memo about Gwendolyn being excommunicated 2 years ago for using the Black Arts. Buffy goes to see Faith at her living quarters. Faith is Dariaish in her mood and actions. She does not want to admit she made a mistake that could have cost lives. She isn't very sincere when she tells Buffy that everything is all right. Then, Buffy tells Faith she can trust her, but Faith says she can't trust anyone but herself.
