Season One

Episode 11: Out of Mind, Out of SIght

Joyce sends Buffy away to stay with an oft-forgotten aunt for a few weeks. (Your choice why - maybe she is suspicious of older boy Angel, maybe it's some lingering divorce drama with Hank, whatever.) The aunt lives in south Boston and drops Buffy off at school every morning. The invisible force targeting people at the high school is none other than pre-Slayer Faith Lehane. OR (twist!) - Buffy and pre-Slayer Faith could team up to figure out who the invisible force is.

Episode 6:The Pack

Faith is an outsider and loner at Sunnydale High, but she'll take an excuse to go fuck around at the zoo for a day. And while she might not be anybody's "hero," she's not big on bullies. When she sees a notorious band of assholes drag a kid into the hyena house, she goes after them - and damned if she doesn't find herself becoming the thing she hated.
 

Season Two

Episode 6: Halloween

Faith's watcher (Diana) has insisted she and pre-Slayer Faith travel to Sunnydale to coordinate future training plans with Giles. Diana falls asleep while trying to research, tired after all the road trip driving. Faith knows vamps take the night off, so she leaves to get some dinner. Never one to turn down free food, she decides to do some trick-or-treating too. Half as a joke she picks up some fangs and a cape from Ethan's shop.

Season 4
Episode 1: The Freshman
Buffy is convinced her roommate is a demon. She listens to heavy metal, fills the refrigerator with beer, has unnatural strength and disappears to parts unknown every evening. 

Faith Lehane was never one for academia but now she’s been sent to investigate something called a Hellmouth. She’s convinced her overly perfect California blonde roommate is a demon, or at least in league with the forces of darkness. Who eats that much nofat yogurt anyway?

 

Season 6

Episode 16: Hell's Bells

Previous to this episode, Faith left prison (for reasons) and is on rough speaking terms with everyone. Xander and Faith greet each other warmly (but platonically) when she shows up to the wedding, they have clearly been in touch. This surprises Buffy, as does Faith appearing with one of Anya's demon friend who she has been dating / seeing / sleeping with. (Faith is the demon's plus one, not the other way around. Anya beams as she reveals she was the matchmaker.) The old man still shows Xander the visions to ruin the wedding. Xander breaks down, worried he cannot escape becoming his father. Faith interjects, and the two of them have a heart-to-heart in private. Faith more than anyone understands Xander's fears.

Season 7

Episode 14: First Date

Faith returns to Sunnydale earlier in S7, compared to canon, and has already been around for a while. She and Buffy are on speaking terms and patrol together but are not super close. During patrol they briefly discuss Buffy's lack of love life. After hearing Faith say "I did alright in prison," Buffy feels a flash of jealousy she does not fully understand. Spurred on by that feeling, she accepts a dinner invitation from Principal Wood. Late when Buffy mentions her dinner date with Wood, Faith quickly stammers that she also has a date. Faith and her date end up at the same restaurant as Buffy and Wood. Faith is clearly distracted by watching Buffy.
