WILLOW: It says a student murdered a teacher on the night of the Sadie Hawkins Dance. The rumor was they were having an affair, and she tried to break it off. After he killed her, he went into the music room and shot himself.

XANDER: Ladies and gentlemen, we have a ghost. It is one of those two, right?

WILLOW: It all fits: the gun, the Sadie Hawkins Dance.

BUFFY: Which is tonight.

XANDER: How come we've never heard about this murder-suicide thing before? When did it happen?

BUFFY: 1955.

WILLOW: How did you know?

BUFFY: Okay, here's the new strangeness. I dreamt about this woman, (points to yearbook photo) Grace Newman, the other day. Her and this guy. (points)

WILLOW: Jim Stanley? He's the one. He did it.

XANDER: Your dreams are getting wicked accurate, Buff. You wouldn't happen to see me coming across some big cash? Or possibly knowing the love of a woman? In a full body sense?

BUFFY: He couldn't make her love him, so he killed her. Sicko.

WILLOW: He looks so normal on this picture. He was smart, too. He made the honor roll.

BUFFY: Smart.

XANDER: He killed a person and killed himself. Those are pretty much two of the dumbest things you could do.

WILLOW: I know, but... Well, don't you feel kind of bad for them?

BUFFY: Sure I feel lousy. For her. He's a murderer and he should pay for it.

WILLOW: With his life?

BUFFY: No, he should be doing sixty years in a prison, breaking rocks and making special friends with Roscoe the Weightlifter.

XANDER: Yikes. The quality of mercy is not Buffy.

WILLOW: Whose ghost do you think we're dealing with? His or hers?

BUFFY: Well, considering how violent it is, I'm gonna say his.

XANDER: That tracks.

WILLOW: Well, I've been browsing on some of Ms. Calendar's pagan sites. Maybe I can find a way to communicate with them and... we can find out what he wants.

BUFFY: Who cares what he wants? We need to shut him down before some other innocent guy goes and kills some poor nice girl and then blows his brains out all over the music room wall.

XANDER: Okay! Who's hungry?
