Everyone listened intently as Buffy explained all that happened in the last few hours. It seemed Buffy's perfect Professor Walsh wasn't so perfect, as the woman tried — and nearly succeeded — to have Buffy killed while on a mission.
"So, Maggie sends me down into the sewers with one of those blasto guns and the next thing I know, it's raining monsters," Buffy said.
"Hallelujah," Xander managed to joke.
"And then this gate slams down behind me and I-I try to use the gun but it goes pfft," she continued, clearly still upset.
"You're saying that Maggie Walsh set you up?" Giles asked, needing clarification.
"That's exactly what I'm saying," she insisted. "She sent me on a one-way recon. "
"Got to hand it to you Goldilocks," Spike chimed in while looking at his recently painted nails. "You do have bleeding tragic taste in men. I've got a cousin married to a regurgitating Frolops demon that's got better instincts than you."
Buffy narrowed her eyes at him. "What does my taste in men have to do with this?"
"You think Riley was out knitting booties for your future offspring while Maggie was stringing you up?" he asked, giving her a pointed look.
Much to Buffy's displeasure, no one chimed in to say that Spike was probably wrong. She looked at them all with worried eyes. "You guys think Riley had something to do with this?"
"Um, probably not," Giles managed to say, grimacing. "But we'd, uh, be remiss if we didn't think all the possibilities through."
"Right. Remiss," Buffy muttered, looking at the ground. Then she spun around to look at Giles again. "No! No, Maggie made sure that he was nowhere around when she sent me on this very special 'make Buffy dead' assignment."
"Plus, Riley?" Willow asked doubtfully. "He seems like he wouldn't tell a little white lie let alone a whole bunch of big dirty ones."
"That's why they call it the secret forces, Will. Cause they kinda keep the whole lying thing to themselves," Xander reminded her.
