1. Welcome to the Hellmouth

BUFFY: ...The strength and skill to hunt the vampires, to stop the spread of evil, blah blah. I've heard it, okay?

BUFFY Summers, a high school sophomore, transfers to Sunnydale High. There she meets her "Watcher" and learns she cannot escape her true destiny.

2. The Harvest

BUFFY: God, I am so mentally challenged!

A stranger named ANGEL tells BUFFY that if she does not stop the Harvest, the Hellmouth will open and THE MASTER will roam free.

3. The Witch

BUFFY: *singing* Macho, macho man... I want to be a macho man. Macho, macho--*talking* ooh, hey juice! *downs a cup* Mmm. Quality juice. Not from concentrate.

In an effort to inject some normalcy into her life BUFFY tries out for the cheerleading squad--only to discover the competition wants her dead.

4. Teacher's Pet

GILES: The She-Mantis assumes the form of a beautiful woman and lures innocent virgins back to her nest.
BUFFY: Well, Xander's not a... I mean, he's probably...
WILLOW: Going to die!

8. I, Robot, You Jane

WILLOW: I sort of met someone.
BUFFY: I knew it! This is so important! When did you meet?
WILLOW: Last week, after we did the scanning project in the library.
BUFFY: Does he go here? What's his name? Have you kissed him? What's he like?
WILLOW: No, Malcom, no, and very nice!
BUFFY: You are a thing of evil for not telling me this right away!
.......

BUFFY: Aw! What's he look like?
WILLOW: I don't know!
BUFFY: So you've been seeing a guy, and you don't know what he looks like. Okay, this is a puzzle. No, wait, I'm good at these. Does it involve a midget and a block of ice?

WILLOW unwittingly unleashes a powerful demon named MOLOCH onto the Internet where he turns Sunnydale's computer crowd into his helpless pawns.

9. The Puppet Show

BUFFY: Giles, into every generation is born one who must run the annual talentless show.

GILES: Very funny. You know, if you had

BUFFY: Nah. I think I'll take on your traditional role and watch.

XANDER: And mock.

WILLOW: And laugh.
BUFFY: Okay, gang, I think we'd better leave Mr. Giles to the business he calls show.

BUFFY suspects that a ventriloquist's dummy may be harvesting organs from classmates performing in a school talent show.

10. Nightmares

WILLOW: About the spiders. Did you talk to Giles about...

XANDER: Oh. The spiders. Willow's been kinda...what's the word I'm looking for...insane about what happened yesterday.
WILLOW: I don't like spiders, okay? Their furry bodies, their sticky webs--what do they need all those legs for anyway? I'll tell you: for crawling across your face in the middle of the night. Ew. How do they not ruffle you?

XANDER: I'm sorry. I'm unruffled by spiders. Now, if a bunch of Nazis crawled all over my face--

BUFFY: It was pretty intense.

WILLOW: Thank you.

XANDER: Well, the Hellmouth. Center of mystical convergence, supernatural monsters. Been there.
BUFFY: A little blase there, aren't you?
XANDER: I'm not worried. If there's something bad out there, we'll find, you'll slay, we'll party.
BUFFY: Thanks for having confidence in me.
XANDER: You da man, Buff.

WILLOW: Okay, but we're still caring about the spiders here. Let's not forget the spiders.

The nightmare world of a comatose child sends BUFFY and her friends into a realm where their worst nightmares become reality.

11. Out of Mind Out of Sight

GILES: How exactly do you propose to hunt someone you can't see? You may have to work on listening to people.

BUFFY: Very funny.

GILES: I thought so.

BUFFY: So you come to me for help.

CORDELIA: Because...you're always around when all this weird stuff starts happening. And I know you're very strong and you've got all those weapons. I was kind of hoping you were in a gang.

As CORDELIA prepares for Sunnydale High's May Queen competition, an invisible force starts attacking her closest friends.

BUFFY: We saved the world. I say we party.
