Afterwards attempting to start a new life in Los Angeles, Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) returns to Sunnydale in season three, and is reunited with her friends and her mother. She is no longer a criminal doubtable, but Principal Snyder, who took vindictive pleasance in expelling Buffy, refuses to reinstate her until he is told down past Giles. Angel (David Boreanaz) is resurrected mysteriously by the unseen Powers That Be.^[2] While Buffy is happy to accept Angel back, he seems to have lost much of his sanity in Hell. Buffy helps Angel recover but, having seen Angel'southward demonic side, Buffy's friends distrust him until he saves them from a monster.

Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) is fired from the Watchers' Council considering he has adult a "father's love" for Buffy, and towards the end of the season Buffy announces that she volition also no longer work for the Council. Early in the flavor she is confronted with an unstable Slayer, Organized religion (Eliza Dushku), who was activated after Kendra'south decease near the end of flavor two.

Angel, subsequently getting his soul back, is once again tormented by his guilt and personally by an entity called the First Evil, who takes credits of bringing Angel back for wicked intents and goads him into attempting suicide. Though Buffy is unable to prevent Angel from killing himself, the Powers That Exist intervene and convince Angel that he has a greater purpose.

Although the First is still out there, the antagonist of the flavor is shown to be the affable Mayor Richard Wilkins (Harry Groener), who is nigh completion of his plan to "arise" to become a giant serpent-like demon – having already gained immortality through a Faustian bargain with demons when he founded Sunnydale a century ago. The concluding stride is to be a massacre of students on Sunnydale High'south graduation day.

Although Faith works with Buffy at first, after accidentally killing a human, Faith becomes irrational and sides with Mayor Wilkins, whose charismatic behavior influences Organized religion's night side. She helps Wilkins in his plan, and eventually she poisons Angel. The only antitoxin for the poison is the blood of a Slayer, so Buffy tries to catch Faith to feed her to Angel. Faith, though severely wounded, jumps from her roof onto a passing truck, out of Buffy's reach. Buffy is forced to permit Angel beverage from her, putting her in a brief coma. Wilkins, who had a fatherly affection for Faith, gets angry and attempts to suffocate her, but is stopped by Angel. During her time in a blackout, Buffy shares a dream with Faith where they make peace.

At the climax of the season, Wilkins speaks at the graduation ceremony, as the time for his transformation has come and he finally morphs into the demon Olvikan. He eats Principal Snyder and kills several others; merely Buffy and her friends have organized the graduating students to fight back against Wilkins and his vampires. (A solar eclipse allows Angel and other vampires to exist out in daytime.) Buffy confronts the demon, taunting him about Religion. She lures the provoked Mayor into the library which has many explosives. The explosion destroys Wilkins in his Olvikan form, too as the schoolhouse.

Meanwhile, Angel becomes convinced that Buffy's love for him will be bad for her in the long run. After the boxing with the Mayor, he leaves Sunnydale, leading to the spin-off serial in Los Angeles.
