(Buffy & Willow find Debbie in the girls locker room, applying make-up)

BUFFY: It's tricky, covering a fresh shiner like that. You know what works?

Debbie: What?

BUFFY: Don't get hit. What's going on, Debbie? I'll bet the farm you know.

Debbie: You're wrong. I don't know anything.

BUFFY: Normally, I'd say, you wanna play 'I have a secret'? Fine. But people are dying here.

Debbie: It... it's not his fault. I mean, he's not himself when he gets like this.

BUFFY: You mean Pete.

Debbie: It's me. I make him crazy. He-he just does what he does because he loves me too much.

WILLOW: But weren't Mr. Platt and Jeff murdered by an animal?

BUFFY: Pete's not like other guys, is he, Debbie? I-I've gotta go.

BUFFY: You have to talk to us. We can't help you until you do.

Debbie: I didn't ask for your help!

WILLOW: Well, when are you going to? I mean, if Pete kills you, it'll pretty much be too late.

BUFFY: Debbie, we're running out of time.

(Cut to the mansion. Angel breaks free, runs out.)

BUFFY: Where can we find him?

Debbie: I-I don't know.

BUFFY: You're lying.

Debbie: What if I am? What are you gonna do about it?

WILLOW: Wrong question.

BUFFY: Look at yourself. Why are you protecting him? Anybody who really loved you couldn't do this to you.

Debbie: Would they take him someplace?

BUFFY: Probably.

Debbie: I could never do that to him. I'm his everything.

BUFFY: (disgusted) Great. So what, you two live out your Grimm fairy tale? Two people are dead. Who's gonna be next?
