Season 1, Episode 2 - The Harvest

Episode 2 picks up where episode 1 left off; Buffy is pinned in a stone coffin by one of the Master's powerful servants, Luke. Fortunately, he's frightened off by a cross necklace that Angel gave Buffy when they met in the first episode. After escaping, she saves Willow (again) and Xander from more vampires in the graveyard. She then discovers that Xander's friend Jesse has been taken by the vampires.

Buffy tries to rescue Jesse and is followed by Xander. They soon discover that it's a trap and Jesse has been turned. After they escape, they discover that the Master is going to try to free himself by using a "Vessel" to drain souls from kids at the Bronze. The gang shows up a little late to save some of the people, but in the end Buffy defeats Luke and the rest of the vampires (though a few run away).

My favorite quote from this episode comes at the end when Giles, after seeing Buffy's light-hearted attitude about the impending dangers of living on the Hellmouth, remarks "The earth is doomed."
