Spike: “yes, I think it affects ‘normal’ vampires, but not the ones with soul like me”

Willow: “or Angel”

Spike: “hmm…, yes him too”

Willow: “do you know why?”

Spike: “because it is ‘mystic’ and it has to be wear for someone with a soul but more than a human”

Willow: “oh…, do you know who made it?”

Spike: “no idea, but Angel may know, he gave it to Buffy”

After Willow finished talking to Spike, she went back to Buffy’s tent asking for information about the medallion; the slayer told her that Angel got it as a powerful amulet from Wolfram and Hart an evil organization formed by three demons, it was left in the building that belonged to them after they were defeated by Angel and all the evil crew had to move to another dimension; hearing that, Willow decided to talk with Anya, who is also a demon, about the wicked organization, Anya told her what she knew about Wolfram and Hart (the demons were, indeed, Wolf, Ram, and Hart), they never were humans but came directly from hell and built a powerful international and interdimensional law firm dedicated to defend murderers, stalkers, mobsters and corrupted politicians; Anya told Willow also that there is some rivalry between groups of demons because they belong to different realms, and  that was all information Willow could gather and before the night falls, Willow and Angus were back in the lab.

The next day after Willow came back from the wormhole, she had a long conversation with Louise and gave her the medallion and all the collected information; the next day Louise summoned Bette and Tina and convinced them, despite the reluctance from Bette side, to include Willow in the projects related to the Uber-Vamps and the portal to the Hellmouth; Louise also gave them the information gathered by the witch and the need for an exhaustive study of the medallion; though, Louise has her own suspicious, but doesn’t want to influence the girls. On Monday, Bette left again to the cabin, no without warning Willow about restraining herself from ‘hit’ on Tina, the witch promised the brunette, she wouldn’t betray her trust.

When Bette came back, after five days, she joined her girlfriend and the witch in the study of the strange medallion and the location of the portal to the Hellmouth; during the following month and a half the girls got a clear idea of what they were working in; though the research was slow, due to the complexity of the amulet, the evasive portal and the necessary shifts of Bette in the cabin, the preliminary results were promising and overwhelming, Louise was satisfied, the teamwork was producing results, and the mistrust about Willow has vanished, the witch has grown a healthy friendship with Bette and Tina and that was reflected in their research outcomes.
