What is the title of the episode where Faith first appears?

The episode where Faith first appears is “Faith, Hope & Trick.” It is the third episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s third season and introduces Faith Lehane, another Slayer who arrives in Sunnydale after Buffy has returned from Los Angeles.

Faith initially presents herself as confident, carefree, and eager to help Buffy fight vampires. The episode also introduces Mr. Trick, a sophisticated vampire working for the Mayor, and the ancient vampire Kakistos, who has pursued Faith for years. Faith’s fear of Kakistos reveals that her bravado conceals significant trauma.

The title combines Faith’s name with the names of Scott Hope, Buffy’s new romantic interest, and Mr. Trick. A common mix-up is choosing “The Wish,” “Consequences,” or “Bad Girls,” all of which involve Faith-related storylines or major developments, but none is her introductory episode. “Faith, Hope & Trick” originally aired on October 13, 1998.
