In "Potential", Buffy teaches the newbies all about what it's like to be the Slayer. The gang learns of another Potential right in Sunnyvale and a locator spell done by Willow leads them to believe it's Dawn. Confused by this knowledge, Dawn runs off, running into a girl from class. The two of them fight a vampire at the high school. Dawn realizes this new girl is the potential and the two of them fight the vamp and the First's followers who show up. The rest of the gang show up and help. They all head back and Dawn and Xander bond over not having any special powers.
Dawn can be the worst sometimes! She's always complaining and just feels like the little brat sister that doesn't know what she wants. She's upset she isn't included as a Potential, then doesn't want to be a Potential, she screams a lot and it gives me a headache. She complains about not being special... DAWN! You were the Key for heaven's sake! An entire season revolved around you being the chosen one or whatever! You weren't even born, you just appeared upon the Earth as Buffy's little sister. To say that you have nothing special about you sounds whiny and pathetic. She really makes it hard for me to root for her sometimes.
Besides discovering this new Potential, nothing of note occurs here. Fairly skippable. Definitely an episode where they're treading water as we hit the midway point in the season.
