Summary:
Giles is giving a lecture on slayers versus vamps, that boils down to the fact that while both slayers and vamps are strong, fast, all that good stuff, they are otherwise opposites. Vampires are cool, temperature-wise, while slayers always run a bit hotter than the average human population. Vampires get more powerful as they get old; slayers are always young and always have power. Vampires are male, while slayers are female . . .
When Buffy points out that she has definitely seen female vamps before, Giles gets all flustered before saying it's really the male vampires who are powerful. Of course female vampires exist, but the scary vampires? The ones who go for world domination or really terrorize the world? They're all dudes. Dracula, Lothos, Nosferatu, the Master, even Angelus. Dudes, one and all.
So Buffy decides that the vampire women really need to step up. And maybe, if she can limit the harm they cause, they need the Slayer's help to do that.
Does Buffy help Darla became the new Master of the Hellmouth? Does she partner with Spike to heal Drusilla? Does she train Harmony on how to be a badass? Does she take Sunday firmly in hand so that she's no longer just terrorizing a community college campus? Does Faith walk too far on the wild side, gets vamped, and then becomes, quite literally, the dark to Buffy's light and they can finally be friends because they're no longer vying for the same position? So many options!
As far as how Spike is involved, does he fully support this plan of Buffy's? Does he watch from the sidelines and provide snarky commentary? Is he her partner, or does he work against her to prevent a female vamp from becoming the Big Bad?
Have fun!
