"Homecoming" is the fifth episode of the third season of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was written and directed by David Greenwalt, and first broadcast on November 3, 1998.

Old enemies have returned to kill the slayers and when Cordelia is mistaken for Faith, she has to help Buffy fight for their lives.

Scott breaks up with Buffy the day after asking her to the Homecoming dance. Buffy continues to feed a weak Angel in secret, telling him the others would not understand that he is now better.

At school, Buffy is monitored by two men in a van that are somehow connected to the vampire known as Mr. Trick. They overhear Buffy mention that a limo will pick up both her and Faith to take them to the Homecoming dance. The gang sends Cordelia to remind Buffy that yearbook photos are about to take place, but Cordelia is too busy campaigning for Homecoming Queen. After discovering that her favorite teacher does not remember her, and that it was Cordelia's fault that she missed yearbook photos, Buffy decides to compete for the Homecoming Queen title.

Meanwhile, Mr. Trick introduces a competition, "SlayerFest '98", with a group of participants including German twin assassins Hans & Fredrick Gruenstahler, "The Most Dangerous Game" hunter Frawley, Kulak, a demon of the Miquot Clan, and Lyle Gorch from "Bad Eggs" and his new wife Candy. When Xander and Willow try on their Homecoming outfits, tension builds until they finally kiss.

On Homecoming night, Buffy is collected by a limo containing Cordelia instead of Faith. Cordelia gives Buffy a note from the rest of the gang who hope that Buffy and Cordelia will make up. Upon exiting the limo, the girls find themselves isolated in a remote location. They find a video tape message, addressed to Buffy and Faith, detailing the hunting of the slayers in SlayerFest '98. The participants attack and after Buffy defeats Frawley, the girls seek shelter in a cabin.
