Here is the promo breakdown for the next Buffy episode, "Showtime" :

Narrator: UPN Next Tuesday -

We open with a shot of Buffy walking through what looks like a cave, with torchlight seen on the walls behind her. One can see that she is still healing from her encounter with the Ubervamp, as the cut abover her eyebrow is fading but still visible.

Narrator: Is there a creature even Buffy can't slay?

The screen goes dark, then we get three frames of a shot of the Ubervamp inside the Summers household. The Ubervamp has his arms waving around.

Cut to black, then we get another quick shot of a blond girl lying face down on the floor, with a fallen lamp next to her. A bloody wound is visible on her right shoulder, and blood can be seen soaking the carpet next to her. This looks like it may be Buffy. She is wearing a biege jacket and pants. A figure flicks in and out of the frame of the shot, but it can't be made out what it is. This shot is four frames long.

Cut to black, then cut in on a shot of some kind of creature that looks like a round ball of flesh covered with eyes, one big and many smaller ones. It looks very similar to a Beholder, for any D&D players' reference. This shot lasts only one frame.

Cut to black, then cut to a shot of the Ubervamp approaching the Summers' front door. Four Bringers can be seen standing behind him. The Ubervamp moves toward the house. This shot lasts three frames.

Cut to black, then we get a close up of the Ubervamp approaching the Summers' house. That shot lasts four frames.

Cut to black, then cut to a one-frame shot of the Ubervamp inside the house, holding up it's talons and showing of its fangs. We then cut to black and see a four frame shot of the same thing.

Cut to black, then cut in on a shot of Buffy, wearing a dark leather coat, with a stake in her right hand. She reacts with wide eyes to something off-screen. This shot lasts two frames.

Cut to black, then cut to a shot of a Bringer being belted by somebody (presumably Buffy's) elbow. This shot last four frames, then cuts immediately to the opening close up of Buffy walking through the caves.

We then cut to Buffy seated in the living room, wearing her dark leather jacket.

Buffy: "I want to hurt it real bad."

We cut immediately to a shot of the Ubervamp, outside, glowing in some kind of lighting. His face is glistening, as though this is after he took the bottle of liquid to the face.

Cut to the Beholder, which we now can see is held in a round cage. Strong-looking iron chains hold the cage up above ground level.

Beholder: "It cannot be fought. It cannot be killed."

We switch angles from behind the Beholder to see that it is about seven feet up from the ground, and that Giles (still wearing the same outfit he wore in "Bring on the Night", including his coat) and Anya are talking to it. Anya is wearing a long red coat. Wind appears to blowing at them. The surrounding area is all black, as though this might be some other dimension.

Fade to black, then fade in on two Bringers at a doorwar (but the door doesn't look like the Summers' door), hlding their curved knives.

Fade to black, then fade in on a side shot of Giles, Anya, and the Beholder. We now see a third chain holding the cage in place from the ground, and that the beholder has a stalk extending out of its back and out of the circular cage.

Cut to a shot of four floodlights as they switch on.

Cut to a shot of another set of floodlights switching on. Both sets of floodlights look like they are set up underneath the eaves of a house.

Narrator: Buffy gives the Slayers-in-training their first taste of true evil.

We see (from right to left) Dawn, Kennedy, Molly, and Willow, standing outdoors somewhere. Everyone is holding a weapon. Dawn has an axe, Kennedy has a crossbow, Molly has a short sword or a long knife, and Willow looks to be holding a hatchet. They all turn towards their left and back as the floodlights come on.

Cut to a shot of the Ubervamp reacting to the floodlights.

Cut to a shot of Buffy doing a flip in the air. Buffy is wearing her dark leather coat and jeans and seems to be lit by the floodlights as well.

We cut back to a shot of the Slayers-In-Training, as they wheel back around from reacting to the floodlights. Kennedy brings up her crossbow and aims it at something.

We then cut to a shot of Buffy getting hammered by a flying kick from the Ubervamp. This appears to be from her fight with it at the industrial site during "Bring On the Night".

We see Buffy flying into the metal wall of the warehouse, as a graphic "TRUE EVIL" flashes on the screen.

We cut to a shot of the Ubervamp holding up Buffy by her neck and choking her, also from "Bring On the Night".

We fade to white, then cut in on a shot of Kennedy stanidng inside the Summers' house, in front of the door, talking to Willow.

Kennedy: "How's evil taste?"

Cut to a reaction shot of Willow, with a bit of a frown on her face. The boarded up front window is visible behind her.

The shot finishes focused only on Giles and Buffy, seated in a chair in front of the fireplace.

Giles(?): I think this Turok-Han is here as an agent of the First."

Narrator: Next week, Angel, now on its new night, the WB Wednesday, the first of 6 all-new episodes...

We open with a shot of the logo "The WB Wednesday", complete with fire streaming from the "sky", then we actually start off with a shot from an enclosed space, peering up at a flashlight beaming down. There is a lot of dust/smoke swirling around, so there is no way of knowing who is holding the flashlight, but whoever it is is holding an axe or sword in their left hand and the flashlight in the right.

Cut to an angle peering down into a shaft or something, where we see three people holding flashlights pointing up, and a fourth person is standing with them. One of the people holding the flashlight is Gunn, because I can see his axe. My guess? Gunn, Wesley, and Fred are holding the flashlights, Angel is the other person, and Connor is the one we saw in the earlier shot.

Cut to a shot of a group of monsters (either zombies or vampires, but very human-looking in appearance) crashing through a battered office or hotel room door.

Cut to a shot of Wesley and Fred standing behind a pair of swinging doors as they close, while a group of the same zombie-types reach out their hads to tear the doors open. Both Fred and Wesley appear to have some blood on their faces, but not a lot. Fred is sceaming "Charles!"

Cut to a shot of Gunn standing in front of a single hotel room door as he closes it, with Wesley and Fred behind the door. Wesley and Fred don't appear to be bloody like in the previous shot. Zombie-types are charging after Gunn.

Reverse angle to see Gunn wallop the lead zombie-guy. A horde of zombie-types can be seen streaming through a door behind the lead guy. Gunn seems to be wielding some kind of light that affects the zombie.

Cut to a shot of the elevator doors closing in on the people.

Narrator: But something even darker will turn Angel against his son.

We see Cordy hugging Connor in the lobby of the Hyperion.

Cut to a shot of Angel, standing in front of the office doorway, turning towards the lobby. He looks avery angry.

We see a shot of Connor standing in front of a wall, turning towards his left and glaring through his hair.

Cut to a different shot of Angel (wearing different clothes than the above shot), as he stands in the Hyperion lobby and turns away from whatever he sees. He has another angry look on his face.

We see Angel grab Connor and throw him up against a wall.

Cut to see a close up of a very pissed-off Angel as he holds Connor up to the wall.

Reverse angle to from behind Angel as we see Connor's pissed-off reaction.

We then see a shot of Connor flying through the air and crashing into a pillar. The pillar crumbles from the force of the crash. We don't see who tossed Connor, but we do note that it is the same setting as the shots of Angel pushing Connor up against the wall that we just witnessed.

Cue the new Angel logo, which is just like the old one, except the sky behind the city background is on fire, and fireballs stream from the clouds.

Here is the promo breakdown for the next Angel episode, "Long Day's Journey" :

Angel (VO): "Sure, it's slightly"

Here is the promo breakdown for the next Buffy episode, "The Killer In Me" :

Narrator: Next Tuesday, on an all-new Buffy event...

NOTE: The entire promo is backed by a boy singing something (in Latin?). The music is very solemn, with a foreboding undertone.

We open with a shot (at night) of Willow and Kennedy walking into Willow's room. Kennedy saucily moves into the room, and we see Willow turn around ansd say something to her (but don't hear what she says).

We fade to a close up shot in profile of Willow standing and looking to something to the right of the scene's edge. Superimposed over the shot is a graphic "WHAT'S ONE LITTLE KISS?" Instead of any dialogue, we hear a boy singing a song (the song is not in English, someone will have to help me out here).

The scene overlaps to a close up profile of Kennedy, facing towards Willow. We can tell that she is saying something, but we can't hear it. She moves in close to Willow. The graphic fades out.

Fade to a different angle, just a little to the right of the previous one, to where we are seeing Willow more head-on. Her face moves closer to Kennedy's as they awkwardly move in to kiss each other. As they get closer to each other, almost kissing, but no contact, the scene fades to black as some flash or lightning effects peek out from behind their faces.

We get a quick flash of light, then cut to a shot of Kennedy, in color. We see just the right side of her face, as the other side is blocked by Willow. (We are viewing the scene from behind Willow). Kennedy opens her eye, and that eye conveys a startled look.

SMASH cut to a shot of Willow's right eye, this time in black and white. Her eye opens and similarly conveys a startlement.

Cut to a shot of the Summers' living room. We see what looks like Warren standing in the middle of it. "Warren" looks horrified as he tells everyone in the room:

"Warren": "I'm Willow."

Cut to a shot behind Warren. We see Buffy, dressed in black, looking to her left, then turning to look at "Warren". Fade to black.

Cut to a shot from behind Buffy. As Buffy charges towards "Warren", we can see Xander, Dawn, and Anya standing over by the end of the couch that's furthes from the door as they look on.

Swing back to the shot from behind "Warren", as Buffy charges up to him and swings a left cross at "his' jaw.

Cut to a shot from behind and to the right of Buffy, as she connects with "Warren", and "he" tumbles to the floor. It looks as though that's Kennedy standing next to the wall behind "Warren", as she looks in in shock.

Cut to a shot of Kennedy in the Summers' back yard, during the day. This shot is from her right side, as she slowly walks straight ahead (our right).

We pull back to an angle in front of Kennedy, where we can see she is standing in front of the bench in the yard where Warren shot Buffy last year at the end of "Seeing Red". "Willow" pops up in front of the camera, facing Kennedy and pointing a gun at her in a manner very close to how Warren held his gun.

Switch to a close up of "Willow", but the shot is a photographic negative of her holding the gun.

The shot switches back to normal color as "Willow" waves the gun around.

Cut to a closer shot of the negative of "Willow" that quickly cuts back to color.

Cue the Buffy logo.

Narrator: All-new UPN next Tuesday at 8, 7 Central.

Angelus from the past, as seen in Cordelia's "memory vision"
Angelus staring through the bars of the cage.
Angelus from Cordy-vision again, this time with more of the ruined landscape visible behind him.
Fade back to Angelus staring through the bars of the cage.

Angelus: "You look all fresh and sweet."

Cut to a shot of Fred, as seen from Angelus' viewpoint.

Cut to Angelus glaring through the bars again, but now he has his hands wrapped around the bars and there's a slight smirk on his face.

Narrator: An Evil...

Cut to a shot of Cordelia, looking sad and grim.

Cordelia: "He lies with the truth."

Cut to a shot of Wesley arming some kind of weapon and pointing it towards the camera.

Angelus (OS): "Oh God, yeah!"

Cut to Gunn raising a loaded crossbow and pointing it towards the cage.

Narrator: ...that can't be caged.

Cut to a shot of Fred walking slowly towards the cage.

Cut to a vantage point from above the room, where we can see that Fred is wheeling a rolling cart slowly.

Cut to a shot of Angelus growling, then cut to his leg and foot going through a gap in the bars to kick the cart.

Cut to a shot of the cart careening towards someone.

We then see a shot of Angelus reaching his arm through the cage bars and grab Fred, dragging her up next to the bars and holding her by the throat.

Fade to black, then fade in on a shot of Gunn trying to pry Angelus' arm away from Fred's throat.

Angelus (OS): "Provocative! Get me all riled up."

Cut to a medium shot of Angelus standing in the middle of the cage.

Cut to a shot of Angelus leaning on the side wall of the cage, grinning and twitching like a maniac .

Cue the Angel logo, only this time it says ANGELUS, with the "US" letters a little bit faded.

Narrator: An all-new Angel, next week on the WB Wednesday night.

Grr. Arrgh.

Here is the promo breakdown for the next Buffy episode, "First Date" :

Narrator: Acuvue-cam presents a preview of next week's all-new Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

We open with a shot of Buffy walking through the upstairs hall, in daytime, and Spike comes into the hall in front of her. Buffy stops short.

Reverse to an angle from behind Spike, as we see that Buffy, dressed in a slip, appears to be just stepping out of the bathroom and looks a little startled.

Reverse back to an angle from behind Buffy, as Spike talks to her.

Spike: "Heard you got a date."

Cut to a shot of Anya standing in the living room, as she tosses her head in exasperation.

Anya: "Everybody has a date."

Cut to a shot of Principal Wood, standing in front of a cabinet, as he turns his face towards the camera and has a sinister look to his expression.

Fade to s shot of Principal Wood opening the cabinet, as we see that behind the cabinet door there are a bunch of knives and other sharp weapons arranged on the wall.

Narrator: With an extra-hot, extra-twisted Valentine just for you.

The scene fades to a new one with a flash of fire in a heart shape (get it? Valentine's?), as we see Buffy in a restaurant. She is leaning forward as Principal Wood feeds her something from his fork. Buffy opens her mouth wide to eat whatever it is.

Quick reverse angle to focus on Principal Wood, noticebly dressed down for the occasion (sweater, no suit).

Cut back to Buffy, reacting to the food she just tasted.

Buffy (laughing): "That might be the best thing I've ever had in my mouth."

Cut to a shot at a construction site, where we see Ashanti talking to Xander. The shot is from behind Xander's shoulder.

Reverse angle to see Xander shake his head at something Ashanti says.

Narrator: R&B diva Ashanti guest stars...

Cut back to a close up of Ashanti, grinning a little wickedly, as "ASHANTI" is posted on the screen.

Cut to a shot at the Summers' house. In a shot from behind Buffy, we see Willow talking to Xander.

Willow: "Is she evil?"

Pull back to include Xander in the wide shot. We see that Buffy is seated on the couch, Willow is standing next to her, and Xander is standing on the end closest to the door. Buffy turns towards Xander to hear his reply.

Reverse angle to focus on Xander.

Xander: "Well, she's interested in me, so there's a good chance, but I'm hoping for the best." (Xander pumps his fist in hope.)

We get the "heart-shaped fire" again and cut to a scene where we see Ashanti, in a dark room, tugging on a rope dangling from above.

Narrator: ...as Xander's freaky date from hell.

We pull back to reveal that this is the basement of the school, and that the seal of Danzilthar has been uncovered. Ashanti is pulling on the ropes to move the wheel mechanism that was used to suspend Spike while he was bled, only this time, Xander is strapped into the contraption.

Cut to a close up of Ashanti.

Ashanti: "Do the ropes hurt?"

Cut to a close up of the bound Xander.

Xander: "Yes."

Return back to Ashanti.

Ashanti: "Good!"

Cut the Acuvue logo, rather than the Buffy logo.

Narrator: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, brought to you in part by Acuvue contact lenses.
