TEASER
SUNNYDALE
LOUNGE ? INT.XAK'S APARTMENT ? NIGHT
The colours on the screen are blurred, as is the whole image, it looks static. The camera pans around the furnishings; the apartment looks the same as it ever did but slightly messier. A variety of items of clothing belonging to CATE are strewn across the lounge of the apartment. The sound of a key turning in the lock can be heard and as the door begins to open, the camera pans around to the door. CATE and TOOLE enter.
CAPTION: TWO MONTHS AGO
They look tired and CATE simply drags herself over to the sofa. She flops over the back of the sofa and sighs deeply and she manages to drag with her an array of clothes, which fall on top of her making her hidden.
CATE: (muffled) Ow?
The camera cuts back to TOOLE who smiles slightly; he takes off his jacket, leaving the front door open slightly. He throws his coat on to CATE who makes an annoyed groan.
TOOLE: You wanna drink babe?
CATE'S face manages to appear in between the cleavage of a bra.
CATE: Tea please.
He winks at her then moves to the kitchen.
CATE: (shouting) Tonight was immense.
TOOLE (O/S): I know, but it kept ya busy right?
CATE: Uh huh.
TOOLE (O/S): Good. You did well tonight, are you sure you've never done bar work before?
CATE stares at the ceiling, then something catches her eye. Her eyes widen.
CATE: (distant) Positive?
TOOLE enters the lounge again with the tea, and he's shocked by what he sees. So shocked he nearly drops the mugs causing a slight spillage of hot liquid to splash on to the carpet. The camera cuts around to show SEPHY standing at the door in a black tank top and jeans. She smiles nervously at them both.
SEPHY: Hello you two.
The camera cuts to CATE who struggles to stand under the pile of clothes. Eventually she does and she hurries over to SEPHY and gives her a hug.
CATE: My god, we've been so worried, how have ya been?
SEPHY: Thank you dear. I just needed some time away after?everything.
CATE and TOOLE nod, understanding.
SEPHY: But now I'm back, and I'm not alone.
She looks down slightly cautious. CATE and TOOLE look slightly confused.
TOOLE: I don't get it.
SEPHY moves out of the way, behind her is XAK. He looks at them both nervously. CATE gasps, she puts a hand to her mouth while TOOLE'S face just drops.
CUT TO ? L.A
LOUNGE ? INT.APARTMENT ? NIGHT
The colours on the screen are normal again, and the camera shows a present day CATE and TOOLE sitting and looking at XAK after hearing his startling revelation
SEPHY (O/S): Oh my?
XAK: I know, it's kinda huge, but it seems right, I know it is.
TOOLE: Not to bring our spirits down or anything but how are we gonna pull this off?
SEPHY and XAK look at one another, slightly beat.
SEPHY: He is right; this will be a difficult plan to execute, especially considering they could predict this move.
CATE (O/S): Uh, I have an idea?
Everyone looks at her as she smiles at concocting her plan.

And twisting me around"

And turning inside out
'Cause I want it now

As the song comes to an end the camera shows various quick caps of CATE by a grave and SEPHY walking into the Underworld smiling, then finally to XAK walking through the graveyard at night. The camera moves up and shows a high angle shot of him walking away and the shape of the dragon streaking across the sky causing the screen to fade to black. (The music below plays throughout)
"I'm breaking out
Escaping now
Feeling my faith erode"
