Buffy is searching for Morgan in the auditorium. She calls his name as she makes her way down the aisle to the stage. She goes backstage when she hears a noise, and some curtains billow in a sudden gust of wind. She walks towards it, but quickly turns around to see Principal Snyder at the top of the steps leading to the stage. Snyder asks if Buffy is "looking for something," and she asks him if he's seen Morgan. Instead of answering, he comes down the stairs, saying, "You know, with everything that's been going on recently, I'm not sure how safe it is for a girl like yourself to be here. Alone." Buffy, with a hard look in her eyes, says that she knows how to take care of herself. They stare at each other for a moment and then Snyder says, "All right then," as he goes back upstairs.

Back in the library, Xander peeks at Sid, still in the same chair, and then turns his attention back to his work. In the stacks, Willow reads to Giles from a book, "'On rare occasions inanimate objects of human quality, such as dolls and mannequins, already mystically possessed of consciousness, have acted upon their desire to become human by harvesting organs." Wait, "already mystically possessed of consciousness"? No more sleep for me. They put two and two together and realize that Emily's heart could have been used for that purpose. Back in Xander's section of the library, he gets up to fetch a book, and when he returns to the table we can see that Sid is gone, but Xander doesn't notice yet. He sits down again and begin to read, but chances to glance at Sid's chair a second later and jumps up on top of his chair, frightened, when he sees that it's empty. Xander's cry of "Whoa!" brings Giles and Willow out of the stacks. Xander points at the chair and says, "Sid's gone!" which startles Willow and Giles as they make scared noises and look on the floor. Giles even drops a book. I love it when he gets riled.
