On the verge of failing her junior year -- thanks to annoying Principal Snyder, who seems to be acting even stranger than usual lately -- Buffy agrees to meet with a tutor.

To make matters even worse, she's tasked with investigating the disappearance of a child. . . a little girl who happens to have gone missing mere hours before a child vampire surfaced in Sunnydale, accompanied by a wheelchair-bound male who fits Spike's description perfectly.

Meanwhile, Drusilla, who has been playing mother figure to the child vampire, is learning how difficult it is to be a parent.
