DARKNESS AND LIGHT The Creature from the Black Lagoon’s less attractive cousin has hit the Sunnydale scene, and Buffy and Co. are all over the new threat. So the Scoobs are stunned, naturally, when members of the Watcher’s Council arrive, explaining – or rather, insisting – that they’ve got the matter under control. Enter Faith. The Council has found a way to spring the rogue-but-repentant Slayer from jail to combat the water beast, and she is enjoying her stint as the Good One. Buffy, a self-declared independent operator for quite some time, thinks she is going to have to do a little digging. What connection could the Council have to these horrific creatures? There’s some soul-searching in store for the Slayer. Even if Buffy is ready to align with the Council, is this a battle worth fighting?
