It's "Showtime"! As the Potential Slayers continue to arrive in Sunnydale, the Scoobies still lack answers to their questions about The First. Giles and Anya seek out Beljoxa's Eye from their demon contacts. Meanwhile, Buffy and Xander go to greet another Potential, but instead find her dead body. With its disguise revealed, The First sends the Turok-Han to thin the herd. Kristen and Mike discuss the Kennedy controversy, and analyse The First's and the Slayer's respective plans.

In "Potential", Buffy's becoming increasingly exhausted with the Potentials' excuses and timidness in their training. When Willow performs a spell to find the next newbie, it points the way to Dawn. Brimming with newfound confidence and purpose, Dawn attempts to help a classmate Amanda, and slay the vamp solo. But was Dawn really the target of Willow's spell? We examine Sunnydale's lack of fire safety, and the Season Seven Speech Phenomenon.
