School. Xander bumps into Willow and asks what she's doing at the Career Fair, since she didn't get assigned to a category. Willow says she's looking for Buffy. Xander tells her that she went somewhere with Giles. Willow starts to freak, because Snyder is looking for her, but the weasel himself appears on the scene. After Xander excruciatingly puts his foot in his mouth, Snyder asks where Buffy is. Willow gives her best lie, by which I mean she stammers that Buffy's around somewhere. Xander: "For what it's worth..." Snyder: "It's worth nothing, Harris. Whatever comes out of your mouth is a meaningless waste of breath. An airborne toxic event." Well, my snark may be on the fritz, but Snyder's certainly isn't. Xander, unintimidated, thanks Snyder for his honesty, and expresses the hope that someday he'll be able to be as honest with him. Snyder stalks off, and Xander leaves as well. A suit appears at Willow's side, calling her by name, and asks her to come with him and his silent partner. They usher her into the lounge, which has been sectioned off with a black curtain. Classical music plays softly, and a white-jacketed waiter appears. The suit suggests Willow try the canapé. Heh. Willow asks what's going on. The suit tells her she's been selected to meet with the head recruiter for "the world's leading software concern," which only serves to tell me that Microsoft didn't own the WB in 1997. Apparently the company jet was delayed by fog, but the suit invites Willow to relax and wait. Willow points out that she didn't even get her test results, but he tells her that the test was irrelevant, as they've been tracking her for some time. She asks if that's a good thing. Sweetie, being stalked is never a good thing. Unless you're Giles, in which case being stalked could lead to a long, happy relationship. Call me! Corporate Stalker says that their criteria are very specific, and only one other Sunnydale student met them. The suits leave. Willow turns around, to see Oz sitting on the couch examining a tray of food. Finally, a couple I can get schmoopy over without slapping myself! Willow sits down. Oz: "Canapé?" Hee.
