(Initiative. Buffy eavedrops on a conversation while Xander stands by her.)

Angleman: How many of the men are still out there? The longer they go without their meds . . .

Scientist #1: Everyone's off their schedules because of the professor's death.

Angleman: It's dangerous. I don't want to think about the damage our guys could do under the stress of withdrawal. Especially since they won't understand what's happening to them. These guys don't know they've been getting meds in their food, so we better get them in here STAT.

Scientist #1: We've located all but a few. The last ones were in pretty bad shape but we stabilized them.

Angleman: But Finn wasn't one of them, right?

Scientist #1: No.

Angleman: Find him. He's the one I care about. He's too important to the work to lose now.

Scientist #1: Indeed.
