School at night. Bugsy the janitor mops the floor. A teacher, Ms. Frank, exits her classroom, and she and Bugsy, obviously only vague acquaintances, share a few polite words. As she walks away, Bugsy's demeanor changes and he drops the mop. He tells her he can't disappear just because she says it's over, but she insists there's no way they can be together. She says other people would never understand and that she wants him to have a normal life. He replies he's going crazy not seeing her, and she strokes his face, but says it has to be over. She turns to leave, and Bugsy runs after her and grabs her arm. They launch into dialog matching the young couple from earlier. He tries to make her say she doesn't love him, and she does. He insists, "A person doesn't just wake up one day and stop loving somebody," and a gun magically appears in his hand. Bugsy points the gun at Ms. Frank, who backs away.

In the library, Giles hears yelling in the hall. He leaves his desk and goes to investigate, whispering, "Jenny." As Giles watches, Bugsy holds the gun on Ms. Frank and then fires. Giles hides himself in a doorway, and we see the stunned Ms. Frank grab her chest and then tumble backwards off the second-floor walkway onto the stairs below. Bugsy turns and runs, and Giles leaps out and tackles him. Bugsy drops the gun, and it skids across the floor and vanishes into a wisp of smoke. Disoriented, Bugsy demands, "What's going on?" and Giles breaks the unpleasant news to him that he just shot a woman.
