Buffy, Willow, Anya, and Xander are still at Giles's pad, looking through books. Willow shows a illustration to Xander, who exclaims, "Okay, that's a giant vulture. I'd have mentioned if it was a giant vulture." Willow wonders how they will find the demon, even if they do discover what sort it is. Buffy confidently says they will find the demon, and since it's her show, she should know. They hear a squeaking noise and Buffy carefully approaches the door with a stake. Riley bursts though in a not-at-all-stealthy manner and exclaims, "Buffy!" Duh, Riley. He looks around the room and notices the rest of the gang; Buffy asks what Riley is doing there. Riley explains that the Initiative has a tap into the 911 system so they can check out calls with "non-human" causes. He then asks Buffy why she's there, and she explains that it's Giles apartment and they can't find him. Riley says that the neighbors reported a struggle in Giles's apartment to 911 but didn't see anything. Riley asks what the gang is working on, but when Buffy says they have pictures, Anya firmly corrects her, "We have nothing." Buffy looks sad and Riley tells her that he and the Initiative are available to help in any way. Just a little aside to the Buffy creative team: see this scene where you're shooting Marc Blucas's face from directly below and a little to the side? Don't do that again. Ever. I'm thanking you, and Mr. Blucas will be too if he has any smarts. Buffy sadly says she wishes Giles were there to help them and Xander says, "He'd be great right now. He'd find himself in a second. No one is cooler in a crisis."
