Angelus bites Faith and turns her into a vampire

she'll be a vampire and quite possibly the Big Bad, instead of The First

after a big fight in the season finale, Faith turns Buffy into a Vampire and for the 8th season - if there is one - they'd drop 'Slayer' off the title and just call the show: 'Buffy: The Vampire' - it'd at least be different and worth a season of shows. You'd have the Scoobies and the SITs along with Dawn the V.S. trying to stop her - and she'd be teamed up with Spike or something.

Will another new slayer be called? and also do you know if Giles is really Giles

Faith becoming a vampire

It's obvious that they're building to Dawn being a slayer - and that Giles may be the First Good. But I hope it'll still be Buffy's show and not Dawn's

I'm not doubting you, I just couldn't find this info anywhere. I've seen spoilers that says she gets bitten but nothing that confirms she's been vamped.

This is what I've gathered so far. With last week's episode, they're setting up a situation where Buffy must die, IMO. They revealed that The First has never tried this before because something is different now (thanks to Buffy) that's never given him the chance before. My guess is that the Slayer power is being stretched too thin from inhabiting both Buffy and Faith. Maybe the power somehow got tainted or something, or it's just weaker. That's why The First has made his move now. I originally thought that Faith would return and sacrifice herself to save them. But, if it's true that she'll be a vampire when she returns to Sunnydale, my guess is that she'll be a (not the) big bad (a vampire with slayer powers), and Buffy will kill her. Dawn (or possibly Kennedy?) will be activated, and Buffy will end up sacrificing herself to cut off whatever avenue The First is using to meets his goals.

"After all is said and done, it would appear that Angelus has tried to either kill or vamp Faith. She's in a near-death state, and somehow her an Angelus are connected. Both of them are reliving events that happened in the past, after Angel was souled for the first time. So it appears that Buffy will not be the only Slayer doing some time-travelling in an upcoming episode."

Wood's mother was a slayer. Specifically, she was the slayer that Spike killed in the 80's on the subway (the one who gave him the eyebrow scar).

Season 1 has an episode called Nightmares that presents this scenario. Buffy is vamped when nightmares become real and The Master turns her. Very good stand alone episode.

While she is vamped, she tries to hide her face from everyone and the little boy she is trying to protect, as she considers herself a monster and is ashamed of what has happened.
