Meanwhile, one of the show's entrants, Emily, is found dead with her
heart cut out. Since there were no signs of demonic presence the gang
suspects a serial killer. Giles learns about the Brotherhood of Seven, a
group of demons who must obtain the heart and brain of a youth every
seven years to remain in their human form. This causes some unrest in
the gang as they scramble to find the killer before another person dies.
Everyone suspects it's Morgan, a genius that seems to be talking with
the wooden dummy he is using in the talent show. He is also suffering
from headaches, which rises more suspicion. This is until Buffy finds
Morgan dead on the floor with his brain ripped out. Buffy then suspects
Morgan's dummy Sid, who attacks her.
It turns out the Sid is a demon hunter, like Buffy. He has been
imprisoned in a dummy's body and is hunting down the Brotherhood of
Seven. He thought Buffy was the demon when he attacked her. They both
team up to track down the demon, who is still in need of a brain.
It turns out that Morgan had brain cancer so his brain is useless to
the demon. Meanwhile one a student who is being a magician asks Giles to
try out his latest trick. He straps Giles into a guillotine, the demonic
student is trying to chop of Giles head to he can get a brain.
Buffy comes just in time to save Giles from the demon, whom is killed
by Sid. Just at that moment the curtain opens revealing the gang in
their present situation. " I don't get it," a confused Principal Synder
comments.
Closing Credit skit:
Later on, Buffy, Willow, and Xander are acting out their dramatic scene
in the show. They are horrible at acting and the skit really bombs when
Willow runs of the stage in fright. Buffy and Xander fill the gap where
their friend stood and continue on as if nothing happened.
