Xander struggles to come to terms with actually working and Giles starts up his own magic store with mixed results.
We see relationships move on. The biggest move sees the departure of Buffy's love, Angel, from Sunnydale and the introduction of her new man, the mysterious Riley. Riley is involved with a government-run organization headed by Professor Walsh called The Initiative. The Initiative places a chip in Spike's head that makes him unable to kill humans. Oz leaves Willow (and Sunnydale too). But this leaves the door open for another relationship for Willow and her newfound college/ witch friend Tara. And finally, Anya moves towards understanding the fruits of love with her man Xander.
But one thing that remains the same is the evil that is trying to take over the world. Powerful new demons and creatures arrive on Sunnydale's doorstep, which means Buffy, and the gang must kick some serious demon butt.
