Historian's Note

THIS TELEPLAY IS A FACSIMILE of an original shooting script for a non-existent episode. Efforts were made to have it appear as “authentic” as possible. In addition to fitting it into the established timeline, formatting conventions were matched to existing shooting scripts. This includes draft designations and camera references not normally included in spec scripts.

This episode fits into the timeline as follows:

5V17 - 24 February 1998 - “Passion”
Angel continues to torment Buffy. Jenny tries to curse Angel with a soul again, but he stops her — permanently.

5V17½ - Preempted - “Split Decision”
Originally planned as an extra episode for February Sweeps, pulled for a very special “Dawson’s Creek” where Dawson discovers it’s not actually his creek.

5V18 - 3 March 1998 - “Killed by Death”
A raging fever sends Buffy to a hospital, where her fever enables her to see a normally invisible monster that preys on children.

This script is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents are products of the authors’ imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.
