Summary: Buffy's mother calls a doctor right before she's about to confront Angelus. Dr. Maggie Walsh convinces Joyce she can help Buffy. Unknown to either Summers woman, the Council is backing Maggie's research. Giles and the Scoobies help set Buffy up, rather than letting the Council send their death squad after the Slayer. This is Buffy's personal journey, showing just how far a Slayer can bend before she breaks.
