Harmony Bites is the latest reality TV show, and when a rogue Slayer tries to stake Harmony on live TV, the show becomes a ratings hit, and Slayers become the bad guys. The sinister Twilight starts attacking, and suddenly Buffy and the rest of the Slayers have to lie low, victims of a PR disaster. But that doesn't stop Satsu tackling a monster stuffed-toy demon, Faith finding a Slayer hideaway with a hideous secret, or Dawn ending up in a third weird bodyform. Just another typical day in Slayer-ville, then.

The band of Slayers are still in full retreat, desperately fighting off Twilight. Eventually they discover that twilight is tracking them through the magic they are using to hide themselves. So they all retreat to the Himalayas, and Oz's own spiritual retreat, where they are taught how to lose their magic. But then Twilight finds them when they are defenceless...

I've marked this down slightly because it's a bit of a filler, between the beginnings of the retreat and (what I hope is to be) their fight back. Fine, but few added twists (that I spotted, at least).
