Synopsis[]

In the final issue of Season 10, the fight for the world has come down to Buffy, her friends, and their gamble...^[1]

This article needs a plot summary.

Buffy wishes she'd never given D'Hoffryn powers, which happened in In Pieces on the Ground, Part Three.
Xander is made temporally invisible, which previously happened in "Fear, Itself."
D'Hoffryn kills Anya making her burn alive, similarly to the way he killed Halfrek in "Selfless."
D'Hoffryn makes the Scoobies various offers they were tempted before in this same season:
- Buffy and Dawn fought against a fake Joyce in I Wish, Part One;
- Willow denied Tara's resurrection in Return to Sunnydale, Part Two;
- Xander let Anya be without his influence in In Pieces on the Ground, Part Four;
- Giles faced the disadvantages of a sudden adulthood in Freaky Giles Day;
- and Spike denied forcing the Shanshu Prophecy in I Wish, Part Two.
This issue invokes the recurring joke from the series in which someone doesn't know who Andrew is ("Gone," "Never Leave Me," Turbulence).
A new Magic Council is established after D'Hoffryn killed all members in Own It, Part One.
Xander and Dawn resume their relationship; they had began their break in New Rules, Part Five and grew closer during Own It, Part One.
Cedric the Slime Man and Lucky Cat, now Magic Council members, were attendees in Buffy and Willow's hearing in Day Off (or Harmony in My Head).
