Consequences

In which Faith embraces her dark side, gets physical with Xander, chained by Angel, kidnapped by the Council, and clears the way for her new job as assistant to the Mayor.

Official back-of-box synopsis:

Even though Giles thinks it's a waste of time, new Watcher Wesley orders Faith and Buffy to investigate the murder of Finch. With everyone, including the police, questioning them, Buffy and Faith soon find themselves arguing over whether to tell the truth about their involvement.

From the old WB Buffy website:

KEEP THE FAITH - Buffy is haunted by the consequences of her and Faith's reckless behavior as she battles with Faith's apparent lack of remorse to keep her from continuing on her destructive path. Meanwhile, the new watcher Wesley overrides Giles' objections and instructs Buffy and Faith to get to the bottom of the recent murder, while the Mayor and Trick are thrilled by the possibility of imprisoning a slayer for the murder.
