Buffy the Vampire Slayer: First Date (2003)
Season 7, Episode 14
6/10
The Truth about the Principal
29 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
In "First Date", the First tries to convince Andrew to kill the Potentials and cut off the bloodline. Buffy goes on a date with Principal Wood and learns he's the son of a Slayer and is in town to help with the upcoming war. Xander goes on a date with a new girl who ends up worshipping the First and attempting to use him as a sacrifice. The gang tried to trick the First into giving away its weaknesses through Andrew. In the end, the First reveals to Wood that the vampire who killed his mother was Spike.

This is a fairly middle of the road episode but a few important things are cleared up. The principal seems to be a good guy (as it seemed earlier he might not be). But a schism between him and Buffy may soon emerge if he decides to go after Spike. Anya and Xander's complex relationship seems to still be a story thread. Seems possible that they may get back together at some point. Time will tell.
