BUFFY: Where's Morgan?

GILES: Uh, I, I... haven't seen him.

XANDER: Did he do something to you?

BUFFY: No, it was his... Sid, the dummy. Okay, everyone look at me like I'm in a bunny suit, 'cause that's how stupid I feel saying this... I think Sid was in my room last night.

WILLOW: With Morgan?

BUFFY: No. He was alone. And alive.

XANDER: Did you see him?

BUFFY: Well, I saw something. I-it ran across my floor, under my bed and then it attacked me.

GILES: Attacked you? How?

BUFFY: It was like it pounced on my face.

XANDER: Like a cat.

BUFFY: Yeah, exactly! But when I turned the lights on it was already gone. I-I think it went out my window.

XANDER: Like a cat.

BUFFY: Yeah! No! It was Sid, the dummy.

GILES: Or possibly the nightmare of somebody who had... dummies on her mind.

WILLOW: You did say they creep you out.

BUFFY: Excuse me? Can I have a *little* support here, please? I'm not just some crazy person, I'm the Slayer.

XANDER: The dummy Slayer? (gets a look from Buffy) There's nothing funny about that.

WILLOW: Well, on the side of the 'Morgan's just crazy' theory there is, well, Morgan.

BUFFY: I'd like to see Morgan without his better half for a few minutes. Bet he could tell me something.

GILES: Oh, uh, i-if it's any consolation, I... I may have found a possible demon culprit. The-there's a reference in here to a brotherhood of seven demons who take, uh, the form of young humans. Every seven years these demons need human organs, a-a-a brain and a heart, to maintain their humanity. Otherwise they, they, they revert back to their original form, which is, uh, uh, slightly less appealing.

WILLOW: So Morgan could still be the guy, only demon Morgan instead of crazy Morgan.

GILES: It's said that these demons are, are, are preternaturally strong, and, and, and... Morgan is, is... Well, he seems to be getting weaker every day.
