The Yoko Factor
"The Yoko Factor" is the 20th episode of season 4 of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The episode aired on May 9, 2000 on The WB.
Spike, now allied with the hybrid demon/cyborg monster Adam, gleefully separates the Scoobies from each other: Buffy and Riley have some tension when Angel briefly visits Sunnydale; Xander feels unwanted since he is not in college; Willow thinks the others are hostile toward her romantic relationship with Tara; Giles feels unneeded by the others.
Colonel McNamara discusses with a superior how to get Riley back in the Initiative and how to deal with Buffy. Spike tells Adam that Buffy should not be underestimated. Spike has killed two Slayers (Xin Rong and Nikki Wood), yet is unable to harm Buffy because of the Initiative chip in his head. The two plan to separate Buffy from her Slayerette friends.
Still upset about what happened between her and Angel during her visit to Los Angeles, Buffy returns from L.A. to her empty dorm room. Xander brings Riley some clothes, and they talk about their mutual distaste for Angel, Riley having been told by Buffy about her previous relationship with him. However, it emerges that she has not told him the whole truth; while Riley was aware that Angel lost his soul and became Angelus, Xander tells Riley that having sex with Buffy was the trigger that set Angelus free.
Spike visits Giles at home and offers him files from inside the Initiative. He says that Buffy does not respect her former Watcher anymore, which upsets Giles and causes him to turn to drink. Willow and Tara play with their new kitten, Miss Kitty Fantastico, while planning their class schedule for next year. They also talk about future housing plans, as Willow feels that her friendship with Buffy has become shaky.
Spike convinces Xander that the rest of the gang think he's useless and should join the Army. Riley visits Buffy; using a radio, he is listening to the Initiative's plans. She leaves to seek Adam. In the woods, Buffy encounters Forrest; they argue as they enter a cave and find Adam, who launches a surprise attack. Buffy and Adam fight; Forrest shoots Adam with his stun rifle. However, the voltage energizes Adam, who fatally stabs Forrest with his arm bone skewer. Buffy flees, but trips and strikes her head on a rock, knocking her unconscious.
Meanwhile, having supposedly sneaked into the Initiative to steal information, Spike charges into Giles's place with the disks. Giles is drunk, so Willow tries to decrypt the disks. Spike talks to Willow and Tara about their Wicca interest and how her friends think it is just a passing phase, but Willow takes this to mean their lesbian relationship.
Riley hears of rampaging demon trouble on the streets through his radio. In an alley he finds Angel fighting the commandos, and Riley refuses to let Angel go see Buffy. The two fight, and Angel is clearly the victor. Both run off when a military truck arrives.
