WILLOW: Spread out.

BUFFY: Not too far.

XANDER: So not a problem.

(Buffy walks around a tree. Shines torch upwards and sees horribly mutilated body in the tree. Rest of group see it. Cut to basement.)

BUFFY: I've never seen anything like that.

XANDER: And I can go a long healthy stretch without seeing anything like that again.

WILLOW: It had to be Adam who killed it, but why?

BUFFY: He's studying biology. Human, demon, whoever he can get his hands on and take apart.

WILLOW: He's finding out what makes things work.

XANDER: I really don't want to be around for the final exam.

BUFFY: It's not coming to that. The Initiative created this thing and they can't stop it. But we will.
