Faith, Hope And Trick

In which we have new boys, and new vampires, and new Slayers. Oh, my.

Official back-of-box synopsis:

There's a new slayer in town, her name's Faith, and she's moving in on Buffy's territory. But Faith and Buffy soon join forces when they are threatened by Kakistos, Mr Trick and a bunch of vampires.

From the old WB Buffy website:

NEW KIDS IN TOWN - Just as Buffy tries to return to her normal life of going to school, hanging out with friends and saving the world, she is faced with the arrival of an ancient, cloven-hoofed villain and his blood-sucking sidekick, Mr. Trick. Another new Sunnydale arrival, Faith, helps Buffy in her battle against the unspeakable demons and ingratiates herself into every aspect ofBuffy's life.
