Buffy tried to get Spike out of her mind, but thoughts of their night flashed through her mind. Even Angel's kiss failed to keep Spike out of Buffy's thoughts.
"Angel, please, not tonight." Buffy said as she pulled away from his embrace.
"Buf-" Angel asked. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing!" Buffy said irately.
"Who is it?" Angel demanded.
"No one!" Buffy continued her ire.
"It's Spike!" Angel raged. "The bloody bastard has been dead for a year and he's still got your heart!"
"You too!" Buffy yelled. "Spike was killed last night!"
"What are you saying?!" Angel said in disbelief. "Spike died a year ago!"
"No he didn't! He died last night! Right in front of me as I tried to kill the minions who were trying to kill him!" Buffy explained.
"Buffy, --" Angel tried to reason with her, but she ran off.
"Buffy, come back!" Angel called after her.
As Buffy ran off to the center of Sunnydale, suddenly all the surroundings no longer looked familiar to her.
"Where's Sunnydale High?" Buffy wondered. "Where the hell am I?"
As Buffy looked around some more she said to herself, "I don't think I am in Sunnydale anymore?"
Back at Giles' store he had recreated in Cleveland, Angel brought Giles and the Scoobies together to help Buffy.
"Everybody, I asked you hear to discuss what to do about Buffy." Angel began.
"What's wrong with Buffy?" Willow asked.
"She's not herself." Angel told them.
"What do you mean, 'not herself?'" Xander inquired.
"Well, she thinks Spike was killed last night, instead of a year ago." Angel told them.
"Yes, I ran into Buffy to and she seemed confused about that fact too, but when I tried to get her to reason, she ran off." Giles told Angel.
"It's as if Buffy's in her own little world." Angel said.
"Well, what do we do?" Willow asked with concern.
"We need to find out where Buffy is and get her out of that realm." Angel explained.
"But what realm is she in?" Xander inquired.
"Somewhere in the past." Giles said.
"So do we go back in time to find Buffy?" Dawn asked them all.
"Yes. But first we must find Buffy and detain her." Angel said.
"Detain her? But where?" Xander asked.
The gang headed out to find where Buffy ran off to. Giles was the first to find her lying unconscious under a tree in Cleveland.
As Giles alerted the others that he found Buffy, Giles picked up Buffy and took her off to the store as she called out, "Spike, help me!"
