Giles (to Snyder): I do enjoy these pep talks. Have you ever considered, given your abhorrence of children, school's principal was not, perhaps, your true vocation?
Meanwhile, the Anointed One (Collin) plans to bring back the Master. When Buffys goes to visit the Master's grave, she finds that remains are gone. Giles looks up the ritual and finds that it requires the presence of those who were with the Master when he died. Buffy misunderstands this by thinking it involves only her, and leaves to fight on her own, after saying that she doesn't want to have to look after the others as she is fighting. However, the real targets are Miss Calendar, Cordelia, Willow and Giles, the last two captured as Buffy is lured into saving Cordelia. Buffy realises too late, and finds Xander in the library alone. He tells her off for the way she has been acting, putting Willow and Giles in danger.
Buffy, Xander and Angel arrives in the warehouse just as Collin begins the ritual to bring back the Master. She starts dusting vampires as Angel and Xander set about freeing the other four. One vampire goes up to her with a sledgehammer, but she burns him before he can attack. As all the vampires are gone, Buffy raises the hammer, and smashes all of the bones of the Master. The next day, Buffy tells Giles about what a moron she has been, but Willow and Xander forgive her most readily.
Xander: Well, what else do you wanna do? We already played rock, paper, scissors. My hands cramped up.
Giles (to Snyder): I do enjoy these pep talks. Have you ever considered, given your abhorrence of children, school's principal was not, perhaps, your true vocation?
Willow: Tsk! Tell me about it. The other night I dreamt that Xander... Euh, It wasn't Xander... In fact it wasn't me. It was a friend's dream, and she doesn't remember it.
Buffy (annoyed at Angel): So, some of your cousins are in town for a family barbecue, and we're all on the menu!
Xander: Oh, hey, did you guys hear that Cibo Matto's gonna be at the Bronze tonight?
Willow: Cibo Matto? They're playing?
Xander: No, Willow, they're gonna be clog dancing.
Willow: Cibo Matto can clog dance?
Buffy: Cordelia, your mouth is open and sound is coming from it. This is never good.
Willow: That's the only explanation that makes any sense. I mean, you should've seen her last night. That wasn't Buffy.
Xander: Are we overlooking the idea that she may be very attracted to me? (gets looks from the others and concedes) She's possessed.
Giles: Possessed by what?
Willow: A possessing thing!
Giles: Well, that narrows it down.
Buffy: This is Cordelia's. (reads the note) 'Come to the Bronze before it opens, or we make her a meal.'
Xander: They're gonna cook her dinner? (gets looks from everyone) I'll pretend I didn't say that.
Buffy (to vampire): So, are you gonna kill me or are we just making small talk?
Giles: What are you gonna do? Crawl inside a cave for the rest of your life?
Buffy: Would it have cable?
