Summary: Faith is out on parole and has to make a Public Service Announcement as part of her rehabilitation. This is the script.

At the apartment of Anya and Xander. Anya is searching for her purse.

Anya: You go ahead, darling. I'll just be a minute.

Clearly tired of waiting for Anya to get ready, Xander leaves the apartment and steps out into the cool night air. Willow emerges from the shadows lining the street.

Willow: Hi, Xander. I was just coming to see you. Why are you all dressed up? You look delicious.

Xander: (Proudly) I've landed that new job I told you about. Anya and I are going out to celebrate.

Willow: (Enthusiastically) Congratulations.

She embraces him warmly. He doesn't see her face change, her teeth elongate. At first he doesn't even feel them penetrate his skin. But when he does, it is already too late, as his life's blood is cascading easily down her throat. He struggles, but to no avail, and soon he is lying dead at her feet.

Inside the apartment Anya has located her purse.

Anya: (Triumphantly) Found it!

Back in the street, Willow is walking away licking her lips.

VampWillow: Bored now.

A new figure emerges from the shadows. She looks down at the body of Xander with a sad expression then looks up at us.

Faith: (Seriously) Sunnydale at night. It's that simple. It's that deadly. So take care, or this could happen to you!

Anya emerges from the apartment building, sees the body and screams.

Fade to black.
