(Back at the Hospital.)
“So what does that mean?” Buffy asked looking at Willow and Giles.
“This girl was… IS a genius.” Willow said as she opened her laptop to show Buffy what she discovered. “She was good…no AMAZING at everything she did.”
Buffy looked at the screen her eyes widened with shock. “How is that possible? Her averages are higher than 100.”
“Weighted.” Willow said, she continued when Xander and Buffy sent her looks of confusion. “If you take a class that’s advanced for someone your age it weighted. I guess a way to level the playing ground. She was in a bunch of them. But that’s not what I find interesting.”
“I wish I had those grades in high school.” Buffy and Xander said in unison.
“Look at this.” Willow said turning her laptop again. “In Middle school she got perfect grades and down below the teacher comments are excellent, ‘Always a pleasure to have in class’, ‘Good work ethic’, ‘always strives to be the best’… But the next year in ’98…” Willow said holding up her laptop. “Look at the grades.”
“Hey, this looks like 1 of my report cards.” Xander said smiling.
“Yeah, but look at the comments”
“‘Unprepared for class’, ‘disruptive class behavior’, ‘talks back’ ‘inappropriate language’” Buffy read allowed. “This can’t be the same person.”
“It is. I’m positive. There are even recommendations from the principal for seeking psychiatric help for her.” Willow said.
“She’s crazy. That’s great we have an ally as mentally stable as Drusilla.” Buffy said still standing above Willow.
“How?” Giles asked as he was cleaning his glasses.
“What?” Willow said in confusion.
“Well there had to be something to set her off. It couldn’t have just happened out of the blue.” Giles added.
“Well, we saw what being a slayer did to Faith.” Xander proposed.
“No, this was long before she became a slayer.” Willow said. “I could see what in the guidance teacher’s note and files. But I figured it would be better to talk to her abou…”
“Can you get into the notes and files?” Buffy said interrupting Willow.
“Yeah, but it would be invading her priva…” Willow was interrupted again.
“I don’t care, just do it. I want to know what made this girl go mental.”
Just then the Doctor came out to tell Buffy that she could visit her sister.

(Paige opens the door to the Summers’ home.)
Paige looked around; the house was dark and quiet. *They must still be at the hospital.* Paige thought glancing at the clock it was 1:14 in the morning. She headed to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water.
CRASH
Paige looked around, it sounded like it was coming from above her. She ran up the stairs. She heard speaking. It sounded like two women, it was coming for Buffy’s room.
“What are we looking for?”
“Anything.” Paige recognized the voice it was Glory.
“That’s perfect. Now I know exactly where it is.”
“She has to have something with info about the key.” Paige walked to just outside the room, careful not to creak a floorboard.
“Hey here’s an idea, lets get one of her friends… You would be surprised what a little blood and chopping could get out of people.”
Suddenly Glory’s hand shot through the wall Paige was next to, she grabbed Paige and dragged through the wall. Paige landed on the floor in a pile of plaster at Glory’s feet.
“Lookie, we got us a little spy.” Glory said as she grabbed Paige’s neck again and lifted her up. “I’m getting sick of seeing you everywhere.”
“The Feelings’ Mutual.” Paige looked over at the second woman, she was still bend over searched through a chest at the foot of Buffy’s bed.
She finally turned around to face Paige when she was twirling a sword. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Paige.
“So let’s get with the torturing. Where do you think we should start?” Glory said looking at Faith.
Faith was still frozen staring at Paige.
“Hello?” Glory said while tightening her grip on Paige’s neck so she could barely breathe.
