Billy "Ford" Fordham

    Billy Ford was an old school friend of Buffy's from  LA.  She had always had a crush on him. He had come to Sunnydale, knowing Buffy's slayer secret.

   

Lie to Me

Buffy spies Angel talking to Drusilla, but from her

viewpoint, mistakes it for kissing. The next day in

school, Billy "Ford" Fordham, her fifth grade crush

has transferred to Sunnydale High.

Angel stops by Willow's and asks her to help him

find out stuff about Ford on the 'Net, which she

does — apparently, there's no record of Ford being a

student at Sunnydale High like he said he is. The

next night, Xander joins them in visiting Ford's

hangout, the Sunset Club, where they find the

vampire-wannabes (and Angel disses them). Meanwhile,

Buffy and Ford see a pair of vampires at Sunnydale

High. Buffy dusts one and Ford claims he killed the

other, but when Buffy summons Giles (saving him

from the monster truck rally Ms. Calendar had taken

him to), the supposedly dead vamp appears and makes

off with one of Giles' books. The vamp delivers the

book to Spike, who is being offered a deal by Ford:

if Spike makes Ford a vampire, Ford will give Spike

the Slayer.

     

   Angel visits Buffy that night, and she confronts

him about Drusilla. Reluctantly, Angel explains that

when he became a vampire, he cruelly tormented

Drusilla, driving her insane and then making her a

vampire. Hoping his revelation has earned her trust,

he warns her about Ford. The next day, Ford invites

Buffy for a special surprise that night at nine,

but Buffy gets suspicious and shows up at the

Sunset Club that afternoon, where she confronts

Ford. She figures out his plan, but it's too late.

The doors close and Buffy is trapped until the

vampires arrive at sundown.

       

   We then discover that unknown to Buffy, Ford has

cut a deal with Spike: he will be made a vampire in

exchange for giving him Buffy. Spike makes the

mistake of bringing Dru along to see him kill

Buffy. She holds Dru hostage, and Spike is forced to

let Buffy go. The next night, Ford rises as a

vampire and is staked by Buffy.
