Willow reaches out to Oz in the hallway, but he isn't receptive to her apology. He needs space to figure things out.

Cordelia sees Xander in the hallway and pretends to make out with a boy to make Xander jealous. The popular guy rejects her since she's a "Xander Harris cast-off."

Anya comforts Cordelia in the hallway. Cordelia is ready to get over Xander; the both of them go to the Bronze for a night of drinks and guys. Xander watches Cordelia from the couch; he's jealous.

Buffy reaches out to Cordelia outside the Bronze to talk, but a vampire surprises them and attacks. Cordelia is pushed into the trash before Buffy stakes the vampire. Harmony and the Cordettes laugh at Cordelia.
