    Synopsis Season 2

    After moving to Sunnydale, California, Buffy Anne Summers just


    wants to be a normal teenager. Back in Los Angeles, her first Watcher had died; she inadvertently burned down
    the school gymnasium at her old high school; and her parents got a divorce. The move to Sunnydale is supposed
    to give both her and her mother, Joyce, a clean slate. But then she meets the school librarian, Rupert Giles, and
    quickly learns there is no escaping her destiny.
    With Giles as her new Watcher, she reluctantly steps back into her role as the Slayer. But this time she is not
    fighting alone. She now has an inner circle of special friends — Willow, Xander, Cordelia, and a mysterious young
    man named Angel — ready to join the fight and drive in a stake or two if need be.[1]

    Summary
    Buffy moves to Sunnydale with her mother, Joyce, arriving with the hopes of leaving her Slayer duties behind.
    However, Buffy inevitably came into contact with her Watcher, the librarian Mr. Giles,[2] and two friends who are
    willing to fight demons alongside her. They soon realize that the town is located on a Hellmouth, a portal to
    demon dimensions,[3] which attracts supernatural phenomena to the area.[4]

    With the Scooby Gang formed, they have to deal with problems faced by the student population as a result of the
    centrality of the Hellmouth. Such issues include: witches and controlling mothers,[5] demon teachers taking
    advantage of virgin students,[4] ignored students turning invisible,[6] and bullying students
    becoming possessed.[7] All along with the never-ending supply of vampires.[2]

    Buffy's inevitable love interest comes in the form of Angel, who frequently turns up with cryptic warnings for her.
    However, the relationship becomes complicated when the truth about his past is uncovered. Angel is a vampire
    with a soul that was restored by a Romani tribe many years before.[8]

    Meanwhile, the overall concern is the Master's attempts to reach the surface and take over Sunnydale. He is an
    ancient and powerful vampire who was trapped by an earthquake caused by his attempt to open the Hellmouth
    decades ago. Buffy and her comrades manage to stop each supernatural threat, typically employing a
    combination of detective work, frequent physical combat, and extensive research of both ancient mystical texts
    and computer-accessible records.[3]

    Ultimately, the Master recruits the prophesied Anointed One,[9] who leads Buffy to her death in the Master's
    underground prison. The vampire uses her blood to escape to Sunnydale High School, which is located atop the
    Hellmouth, but Buffy is quickly revived by Xander, who had tracked her with Angel's help. She manages to throw
    the Master onto a shard of wood, and the Hellmouth is closed again.[10]
