Buffy has gotten Angel to the library, where she and Giles are preparing to remove the arrow. Buffy pulls it out and tells Giles that she's just happy Faith is "such a sucky shot." At the table nearby, Wes is engrossed in the report from Dr. Worth's apartment. He summarizes that Dr. Worth found a huge carcass under a lava bed on Kauai, Hawaii. The professor speculated that the carcass was of a dinosaur, but the gang quickly deduces that it was actually a demon and that the Mayor will only be invincible until his Ascension. ["What if all dinosaurs are actually demons? The evil aptosaurus cutting a swath through innocent and unsuspecting vegetation during his reign of terror! The plant world's only hope? Ur-Buffy. It also makes me think of that Far Side cartoon, 'The real reason dinosaurs are extinct,' with a picture of them smoking. I guess that back then they didn't have those TheTruth.com ads so all the demons were turned into half-breeds, their bodies and powers ravaged by emphysema." -- Sep] Buffy helps Angel stand, but he makes an oogy face and quickly collapses to the floor. A short time later, Buffy feels Angel's forehead as Giles sniffs the head of the arrow. For a second, I expected him to mutter, "What I do not smell is iocaine powder." Gasping, Angel tells them that he's been poisoned. Giles decides that they need to move Angel to the Overcompensation Estates. Trying to make himself useful, Wes volunteers to contact the Council of Watchers for information about mystical toxins. Buffy strokes Angel's sad, sweaty forehead.
