Mr. Pitt zeroes in on their position on his computer, and detects a telephone. Buffy's leaving Giles a message when the phone is cut off. Team Sprockets closes in on them. Cut to Giles picking up Buffy's message. Back to the shack, where Cordy is bitching about not wanting to be in Buffy's life. They snit at each other until Cordy asks why Buffy cares about being Homecoming Queen when she's the Slayer. SMG acted this scene well, and I really do sympathize with Buffy. However, we've heard this song before, so I'm going to sum up Buffy's response thusly: Blah blah blah I-want-a-normal-life-cakes. She ends the speech by saying, "Besides, I look cute in a tiara." So do I, but you don't see me running for Homecoming Queen. They hear a noise, and then Spiny Demon breaks through one of the shuttered windows and tackles Buffy. She drops the gun. Buffy grabs a pair of antlers off the wall and starts sparring with the demon as Cordy hilariously whacks away with the spatula. Buffy tells Cordy to get the gun. She does, but her aim is atrocious, and she can't handle the kick from it either. Buffy: "Cordelia, the spatula." Ha!

Mr. Pitt gives Team Sprockets an order to fire on the shack as Buffy and the demon continue to fight. They're wrestling for the gun when a grenade flies in and lands on the floor. Buffy grabs Cordy and pulls her through a window. The demon tries to go through another one, but it's shuttered tight, and the charge detonates. Demon flambé. The girls make for the library as Team Sprockets pursues them.
