We cut to Dawn, brooding in class about her loser sister. The guy next to her asks for a pencil. She takes one out and hands it to him, but he's now a zombie guy and makes to stab her in the eye with it. Dawn screams and throws herself out of her chair, clutching at her eye. She rolls on the floor, and the teacher rushes over. Dawn realizes that she hasn't been damaged in any way, and apologizes for disturbing the class. She claims that a bee flew in her eye. "I'm very allergic." It seems like a pretty good lie, but the teacher doesn't quite buy it. The whole class stares at Dawn, who asks if she can go to the bathroom. She hurries out, and one guy whispers to another, "Guess it runs in the family." Does that mean Dawn told the class that her sister was crazy after Buffy burst in? I would've.
Dawn enters the same bathroom where Buffy was attacked. She locks herself into a stall, but then hears someone sobbing. Dawn very slowly stands up and exits her stall. She peers along the floor for feet, but doesn't see any.
Buffy hurries along a miscellaneous hall in the school and runs straight into Principal Wood. "You know, I thought in general it was customary for a person who has graduated to, um, you know, go somewhere else," he snarks. His sarcastic attitude seems to make Buffy suspicious. She coldly says that she was just getting to know the new campus. Principal Wood smiles.
Dawn's still in the bathroom, swinging stalls open. She finds the crying girl, who's the girl dressed in black whom we saw earlier when Buffy and Dawn arrived at school. Dawn asks Crying Girl what's wrong; Crying Girl replies that there's someone in the bathroom. Dawn looks around the empty room, but Crying Girl insists that someone else is there.
The camera circles the principal, who admits that he knows more about Buffy than he "let on before." "Isn't that interesting," sasses Buffy. "Oh, it really is," the principal sasses right back.
Dawn coaxes Crying Girl out of the stall and introduces herself. Crying Girl, who has purple streaks in her dark hair, says her name is Kit. "Saw something pretty creepy, huh?" inquires Dawn, and when Kit replies that Dawn wouldn't believe her, Dawn says that she thinks she would. As Dawn talks, her eye wanders to the mirror, where we see the angry zombie-folk reflected. The fluorescent lights in the room start to flash and explode, and as Dawn and Kit run to escape, zombie hands burst up through the floor and drag them down. A large portion of the floor caves in directly underneath them. Dawn dies, and all the after-market monk memories are forgotten. Everyone (except for the three people in the world who like Dawn) lives happily ever after.
