They enter the tunnels and manage to find Jesse. They are suddenly ambushed by vampires, and Jesse, upon leading them to a dead end, reveals he has been turned. Buffy and Xander barely manage to escape through a vent leading to above ground, with Xander pulling Buffy out of a manhole. Underground, the Master is unhappy about their escape and punishes the vampire Colin by poking his eye out. </p><p>Luke drinks the Master's <a href="/wiki/Blood" title="Blood">blood</a> and has a symbol drawn on his brow, turning Luke into the Vessel. Every <a href="/wiki/Soul" title="Soul">soul</a> Luke takes will give the Master more strength to break out of his imprisonment. </p><p>Buffy and Xander return to the school library. Giles explains that the Master arrived 60 years ago to open the Hellmouth, a portal to another reality, but was swallowed by an <a href="/wiki/Earthquake" title="Earthquake">earthquake</a>. He is now hoping to escape with the help of a Vessel in a once-in-a-century opportunity called the Harvest. To prevent the Master from escaping and opening the Hellmouth, they must kill the Vessel. Xander suggests that the vampires will be at the Bronze. </p><p>On her way there, Buffy stops by her house to get weapons and is promptly <a href="/wiki/Grounding_(discipline_technique)" title="Grounding (discipline technique)">grounded</a> by her mother, who has been called by Principal Flutie (<a href="/wiki/Ken_Lerner" title="Ken Lerner">Ken Lerner</a>) about Buffy skipping classes. Buffy grabs her weapons from a secret compartment in a chest and climbs out of her bedroom window. Giles, Xander, and Willow head to the Bronze to back her up, with Giles warning Xander that the Jesse they know is dead and all they will see of him now is the thing that killed him. </p><p>Luke and other vampires burst into the Bronze and start killing those inside. Buffy arrives in time to save Cordelia before Luke can bite her. She also notices the Vessel mark on Luke's forehead. Xander eventually kills Jesse after a fleeing woman unknowingly pushes him into Xander's stake. Willow pours <a href="/wiki/Holy_water" title="Holy water">holy water</a> on Darla when she is about to bite Giles, causing her to run away in pain. </p><p>After shattering a window, Buffy tricks Luke into believing a streetlight is the <a href="/wiki/Sunlight" title="Sunlight">sunlight</a>, then stakes him in the back when he realizes it's still night. With Luke dead, the Master's plan fails, and he is weakened again. The other vampires flee. Outside the Bronze, Angel realizes that Buffy has stopped the Harvest, saying, "I'll be damned." </p><p>The next morning, Cordelia exemplifies the denial most Sunnydale residents undergo after <a href="/wiki/Paranormal" title="Paranormal">paranormal</a> encounters as she tells a fellow student about the previous night. Giles warns the budding gang of more battles ahead. Buffy, Willow, and Xander walk off while discussing ways that Buffy could get herself kicked out of school. Giles looks on after them and says to himself, "The <a href="/wiki/Earth" title="Earth">Earth</a> is doomed." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Harvest_(Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Whedon hoped to include actor <a href="/wiki/Eric_Balfour" title="Eric Balfour">Eric Balfour</a> in the title credits to shock viewers when his character dies.
