    Now that the First has officially set its sights on removing the Slayer line in totality and formally waged war with Oogles the Ubervamp, the gang goes into recon & research mode. The Hellmouth (and the Summers' Residence by extension) are LOUSY with potential slayers-- with the emphasis on LOUSY because the amount of naysaying going on behind Buffy's back has KENNEDY looking like the best in class! Giles and Anya go on a walkabout in a hell dimension to get some intel as Buffy plots a way to give the potentials a wake up call AND position herself to get Spike out of Ooogles' cavern and into…
