Sunnydale High science building. Xander surveys blueprints and dishes out instructions to his crew. He's happy to see Buffy when she hurries up and asks how the school looks, fishing for compliments. Buffy has none to give, however, saying that the school is great "if you're a zombie ghost thing." I feel like I've typed the word "thing" in a lot of dialogue so far in this recap. Shouldn't writers, I dunno, know the proper words for "things"? Xander takes Buffy seriously (which is a nice change), and they step aside to discuss the "dead and pissed" entities that attacked Buffy in the bathroom. Xander asks if there was damage, and Buffy admits that Dawn's social life was the only casualty so far. Buffy then theorizes that the school being rebuilt is significant.
