Lie To Me Drusilla sings a lovely song before stopping to terrorize a little boy waiting in a park for his mother to pick him up. Lucky for the boy, Angel is there to step in. After getting the boy to run home, he turns around not to stake the vampire Drusilla, but to offer her an out. He tells her to take Spike and get out of town. This doesn't fit into Dru's plans, however, and she tells him that there meeting is just the beginning of things. He watches her walk away leisurely before turning and walking in the opposite direction. From above, Buffy spies the duo and jumps to the conclusion that Angel is seeing another gal on the side. She gets a pick-me-up the next day, though, when Ford, a friend from Hemery, shows up at school. Meanwhile… Spike isn't taking the news of Drusilla's rendezvous with Angel well either, snapping when she unintentionally avoids the conversation… and quickly taking it back when she starts to cry. The overall feel is that Spike is jealous of Angel when it comes his girl. Ford turns out to be the not-so-best person to trust when he shows up at Spike's doorstep ready to cut a deal that will make him immortal. Spike doesn't give him much of a chance to plead his case before attacking, we once more get to see Dru's control when it comes to Spike, halting further assault with a calming hand on his shoulder. Ford jumps to the chase, saying that in exchange for immortality he will hand over the Slayer (( along with a whole basement filled with vampire-wannabe's )). It's also during this scene that Spike obtains the book that contains the cure to Drusilla's weakness. Angel later visits Buffy and she confronts him about Drusilla. Reluctantly, Angel confesses his history in brief with Drusilla. Sparring the grueling details he tells her that when he first saw Dru, she was a chaste young girl and that he drove her insane by killing everyone she loved and visiting every mental torture on her he could devise. She fled to a convent and on the day she was to take her vows, he turned her into a vampire. The next evening, Buffy follows Ford to the vampire-cult bomb shelter where she becomes knowingly trapped. She saves the people in there with her by taking her own hostage - Drusilla. Spike, not about to let his lady become dust, releases his own victim (( re-occurring character Chantarelle [Lily, Anne] )) and allows the others to escape. Buffy tosses Dru down the stairs to Spike.
