It is very definitely Faith strangling Buffy under water. As Jilli notes, that's a Faith outfit.

And a history of Faith trying to kill her. Though I thought they were past all that at this point. Wonder if it's real or a dream/fantasy (or that's not really one or the other of them).

I suspect she's another slayer. One we meet at the beginning of this particular arc.
I found the first cover more recognizable for Buffy and Faith. It could be because the same artist has done her enough I recognize the style. I didn't like the Faith on the second cover at all.
