(Sunnydale High, quad)

WILLOW: It's all over school, what happened with Debbie and Pete. Except for the Pete-was-a-monster part.

OZ: Yeah. A freshman told me that Pete had eight iced cafe' mochas and just lost it.

BUFFY: That's better than the estrogen theory. I heard he took all of his mother's birth control pills.

CORDELIA: He didn't? Pete was a monster? Where have I been?

XANDER: In your special place, Cor, which is why I adore you.

CORDELIA: So, what's the true story? What happened?

WILLOW: Well, we got ahold of, uh, Pete's lab books and stuff, and Mr. Science was doing a Jekyll/Hyde deal. He was afraid Debbie was gonna leave him, so he mixed this potion to become super mas macho.

BUFFY: The only thing was, after a while, he didn't need the potion to turn into a bad guy. He did it just fine on his own.

CORDELIA: So it was like a real killing. He wasn't under the influence of anything?

BUFFY: Just himself.

(she sees Scott sitting by himself)

BUFFY: Uh... I'll see you guys later.

CORDELIA: Great. Now I'm gonna be stuck with serious thoughts all day.
