Plot
buffy takes the potentials to a demon bar and then to a vampire nest, in order to teach them the art of slaying. when willow casts a spell to seek out the next potential, the spell leads them to believe that dawn may be a future slayer.
Behind the Scenes
buffy tells the potentials that her death could make one of them the next slayer. dawn also makes the same assumption, stating that if she were to become the slayer, it would mean that buffy had died. it's known that faith became a slayer after kendra died, but the possibility of the line continuing due to another death of buffy is never clear in the series, even after her death, when no new slayer is discovered or mentioned.
