WILLOW: We're here! Ready for action -- uh, bad guy fighting action.

BUFFY: Guys, you didn't have to -- you know, if you still wanna be alone --

WILLOW: No, we're good.

TARA: We're better than good.

BUFFY: Great.

WILLOW: Super... (kissing, Dawn & Buffy coo) Okay, alright. We'll stop.

DAWN: You better not!

TARA: (quick change) So, em, nerds. How are them? They?

BUFFY: Well. I found their lair, but they obviously knew we were tracing their signal. They left in a hurry -- van was gone, but everything else was still there.

WILLOW: We should go back. Tara and I can Sherlock around and --

BUFFY: Nothing left now. Giant buzz saw. It was a thing. (re: evidence) This was all that I could save. I know it's not much, but we need to go through it, see if we can find anything that might tell us what they're doing, where they're going.

TARA: Umm, this might take awhile.

BUFFY: Anything we can do to fast forward? We really need to find Warren and the others before anyone else gets hurt.

WILLOW: Should we call Xander?

BUFFY: (uncomfortable) I don't think he's in the Scooby space. Let's give him same time.

DAWN: Maybe they've heard something in the demon bars about those guys. (tentatively) Spike...

BUFFY: Spike -- Spike's not a part of the team.

DAWN: So he's not going to be around anymore?

BUFFY: Ah, I don't know, Dawn. Not for a while.

TARA: What about Anya? She might be able to help with the demon texts.

BUFFY: I'm guessing she's not feeling real researchy right now.
