With the First temporarily out of commission, Buffy takes the four potential slayers on a training run with Spike helping her. When word comes in that there is another potential in Sunnydale, Willow does a locater spell and it tells them that it is Dawn. Dawn, confused by this, helps her friend Amanda with vampire problems.
Why It's So Good - Dawn had a major role in season 5, but since then, her place in the series has been less clear cut. That's not to say the others haven't had their own existential crises, but there has always been a nagging feeling that Dawn has to justify her existence which this episode plays with very well.
Watch Out For - Xander's speech at the end is arguably one of his best moments in the entire show.
