Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Omnibus #2

In "Act One Deceit," Angel tries to quietly ease Buffy’s pain over her parents’ divorce, but his well-meaning interference accidentally unleashes four Malignancy demons. As Buffy faces the first demon, who twists her fears into a false memory of her father’s betrayal, she must confront not just the monster, but the emotional shadows it stirs. Meanwhile, Giles arrives in Sunnydale, setting the stage for the slayer’s next chapter.

In "Act Three: Abandonment," Buffy and Dawn grapple with the emotional fallout of their parents' divorce, drawing the attention of a Malignancy Demon that thrives on their sense of abandonment. As the sisters confront the creature, their mother Joyce makes a pivotal decision—pulling a name from a hat to choose their next home, leading them back to Sunnydale, where Giles begins to settle into his new role at the school library.

In "Act Four: Trepidation," Buffy, Dawn, and Joyce settle into their new life in Sunnydale, unaware of the darkness that follows them. When the last Malignancy Demon—set loose by Angel—attacks, the town’s hidden horrors begin to surface. Angel, too, arrives in Sunnydale, drawn by forces he can’t yet understand.
