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 we cut to a shot of somebody smashing a bottle of liquid on the Ubervamp's face. The Ubervamp rocks backward. This 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.

Willow: "A little chalky."

We finish with a shot of Buffy seated in the dining room of the house. She is wearing a white blouse in the shot.

Cue the Buffy logo.

Narrator: An all-new Buffy, next Tuesday at 8, 7 Central.

Grr. Arrgh.

Cut to a shot of Buffy opening the front door, and we see Gliles (or is it really him?) standing there.

Buffy: "Giles!"

Giles(?): "Buffy."

The Slayers-In-Training walk through the door before Buffy can hug Giles. Molly comes through first, then Annabelle, then Kennedy.

Cut to a shot of everyone standing in the living room. At the beginning of the shot, we see Dawn standing in the middle of the shot, with Kennedy, Molly, and Annabelle in a line next to her. Dawn moves towards the right, and the camera pans across the room, where we see Anya and Willow seated on the couch and Giles standing at the end of the couch, explaining what is going on. The shot finishes focused only on Giles and Buffy, seated in a chair in front of the fireplace.

Dawn: "They're all Slayers?"

Giles(?): "Potential Slayers, waiting for one to be called. There were many more like them all over the world, but, now there's just a handful, and they're all on their way to Sunnydale."

Cut to a shot of Molly, Annabelle, and Kennedy seated around the kitchen island, as they stare at Buffy after her first encounter with the Ubervamp.

Reverse angle to see Buffy seated and Giles pacing behind her, explaining more about the new monster.

Giles(?): "What you fought was a vampire, but it was something more than that. It was a Turok-Han

Cut to a shot of the Ubervamp racing down the alley and grabbing Buffy.

We then see the monster throw Buffy up against a wall.

We then see the monster throw Buffy through a wall.

We switch shots to the other side of the wall to see Buffy come crashing through it after the Ubervamp has heaved her through it.

Giles(?)(VO): "...Ferociously powerful killing machine, single-minded animals."

We cut back to Giles(?) talking in the kitchen.

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

We cut to the scene at the end of the episode. An extremely battered Buffy talks to the rest of the group.

Buffy: "They want an apocalypse? Oh, we'll give 'em one."

Cut to a shot of Kennedy (in the foreground) and Molly (further back), seated at the dining room table and lookin on attentively.

Pull back to see a shot of the entire gang seated at the table and looking at Buffy.

Switch back to a close up of Buffy.

Buffy: "We just became an army. There's only one thing on this earth that is more powerful than Evil. And that's us."

Here is the promo breakdown for the next Angel episode, "Habeas Corpses" :

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 Wesley in action in front of the same door. Wesley is wielding swords in both hands as he attacks the zombies.

Cut to a shot of Cordy and Connor, now clothed, sitting on their bed and looking out the window as a fireballs stream from the sky.

Narrator: The end of the world, brought forth by an invincible evil.

We get a quick shot of a wall of flames, then cut to a close up of Angel with a dead cold stare on his face.

Cut to a shot of Connor, sprawled out on a floor. The shadow of the Big Bad Rubber Suited Satan (BBRSS) is visible on the wall behind him.

Connor: "Everybody dead."

We then see a shot of Connor attacking the BBRSS with a sword, only to have thw sword break on the shoulder of the monster.

Cut to a shot of Angel turning towards the camera in surprise. Angel is waving a sword around.

We see a low-angle shot of the BBRSS lurching down a hallway.

Cut to a shot of the zombie-people crowded up in a room.

Cut to a shot of Wesley, Fred, and Gunn, holding their beaming flashlights down as the look through a darkened hallway.

We see a shot of a bunch of people in an elevator car, waving their arms for help. These may be zombie-people, though.

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.

Narrator: Next week, an all-new Angel, now on its new night, the WB Wednesday.

ELAPSED TIME - 0:30

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

Narrator: Angel has moved to the WB Wedenesday.

We open up with the gang in the Hyperion lobby during the daytime. Angel is trying to rally the troops. We see Cordelia seated on the round couch, Wesley seated way in the back on the red couch, Fred and Gunn standing together next to the hotel desk, and just a bit of Lorne (or is it Connor?) on the other side of the desk. Angel is stanidng at one end of the room.

We cut back to the Hyperion pep talk, this time focusing in on Angel.

Angel: "...beaten"

Cut to a shot of a girl in red leather pants and a black leather top as something falls on or is thrown at her. This is Gwen, the electric girl from "Ground State". The setting that she is in is a warehouse-like environment, with mystic runes in black on the floor.

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

Cut to a shot of an alley or street in the daylight. Connor is sprawled on the ground with his eyes closed and blood on his face.

Angel: "...demoralizing"

Connor is seen as he is grabbed by the Big Rubber Satan, then we see him crashing through a glass window of a building and fall from a bit of a height, perhaps four or five floors.

We then cut back to Angel's speech to the gang.

Angel: "But from here on out we're going to find out what this thing's weaknesses, we're going to go in prepared, and we're going to fight smart."

We cut to shots of the gang attacking the BRS. Gunn is shoved out of the way by BRS as Angel attacks it with a sword. We see Angel's attack from various angles and can see Fred and Wesley standing back next to a wall as they look on. This appears to be at Connor's hideout.

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.

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."

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.

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.

We open up with a shot, in sepia tone, of Buffy, wearing a jean jacket and white top, in a cave-like setting as she looks around her environment with a shocked look on her face.

Cut to a scene in the Summers' living room. This shot is also in a sepia tone. We see in the center of the room a portal or dimensional gate, sitting in mid-air, as it closes. Buffy dives head first into the closing gate. Other members of the gang are standing behind Buffy, next to the far wall of the room. Furthest to Buffy's left is Dawn, holding open a large book. Standing next to her is Willow. Closest to the camera, and to Buffy's back and right, is Xander.

Narrator: She's trapped in another dimension when all hell breaks loose. Now the world depends on Buffy's next move.

We cut to a shot, panning from low to high, of a very muscular demon. This shot is also in the sepia tone.

Switch to normal color as we see the demon crashing through the set of glass doors that separate one room from another.

Cut to a shot of the living room, where we see the demon crouching in the middle as Dawn comes charging straight at it (and the camera) with an axe high above her head as she prepares to chop.

We see a scene in the kitchen or dining room. This is a night shot. Standing closest to the camera is a figure clad in white and apparently floating in the middle of the room (only and arm and hand can be seen of the figure). Facing the figure, standing just in front of the doorway, from right to left, are Buffy, Kennedy, and Dawn. Kennedy reacts to the figure by bringing her right hand up to her mouth. Rona then walks in behind them, but the scene cuts before we can see how she reacts.

Back to sepia tone, as we see someone lighting a candle.

Still in sepia tone, we see a shot of the living room. In the center of the room is a fire. Xander is walking away from it. Arranged in a semi-cirlce at a distance from it are, from right to left, Dawn (holding open a large bood), Willow, Kennedy, Anya, and perhaps Spike in the left corner. Shadows are swirling aroung and projecting against the wall.

Still in sepia tone, we cut to a close up of Dawn with the large, open book. Shadows swirl on the wall behind her.

Cut to a shot of Buffy, standing next to the light switch and the glass doors with a surprised look on her face. Shadows swirl on the wall.

Cut to a close up of the fire. Small figures can be seen circling around the fire.

Cut to another shot of Dawn with the open book. She turns and looks at the shadows being projectend on the wall behind her. A "jack-o-lantern" shadow can be seen forming behind her in the direction she isn't looking.

Cut to a shot of Dawn (with the book), Willow, and Kennedy. All three seem to recoil from a shadow figure.

Cut to a shot of Xander recoiling from something in the swirling shadows.

We then see Dawn and Kennedy get hit by a big flash of light.

Pull back from that scene to reveal that the flash of light is coming from a figure seated in the center of the room. The figure is probably Willow, seated facing the camera, but she turns to look behind her as the flash of light hits Kennedy and Dawn. Xander is standing furthest to our right, and Anya is standing furthest to our left, so that they don't get hit by the energy blast. This is the last "sepia tone" shot of this stretch.

As we switch back to normal color, a song begins to play over a montage of scenes.

'Cause I'm just a little girl, you see

We see a shot of the SIT's working out in the back yard during the day. Buffy is standing on the back porch with Prinicpal Wood. Kennedy seems to be leading the Potentials in an exercise regimen. There are many more SIT's together in one place than we have seen this season.

Cut to another shot of the Potentials exercising. In this side shot, we can see that Rona is one of the Potentials present.

Cut to a shot of Spike being thrown through the basement ceiling to a room on the first floor by some kind of demon.

Don't ever underestimate what I can do

Cut back to another training shot, again focusing on Rona.

We see Spike, in vamp-face, standing in front of a brick wall. He screams and charges at something off-camera.

Back in sepia tone, we see Buffy standing in the upstairs corridor. Some figure graps her and throws her down the staircase.

Still in sepia tone, we see Buffy tumble down the staircase.

Cut to Buffy landing at the bottom of the staircase, and a figure pounces on top of her.

Reverse angle to reveal that the First Slayer is the one that attacked Buffy. She snarls for the camera.

In normal color, we cut to another shot of the exercises for the SIT's. Again, Rona is a focus of the shot.

Cut to an interior shot of Xander being thrown on to a table that collapses under him.

Back in sepia tone, we see Buffy standing in the middle of a strange location. She appears to be held down by chains that are strapped to her wrists and bolted to the floor of the cave-like location.

Still in sepia tone, we cut to a shot of an older black woman wearing something like a turban and holding a staff of some kind, as though she were a shaman or priestess.

Still in the sepia tone, we cut to a shot from above the weird location. The priestess is standing to the left. A figure is standing in the center, and on the floor are many concenctric circles. Another figure is standing to the right. At the top/far end of the shot, I think Buffy is standing. If one looks at the shot long enough, they may be convinced that Principal Wood is the figure to the right, and Spike is the figure in the center of the rings.
