She looks smashing. o   She bumps into Harmony and the girls. o   They introduce her to Anya. o   Willow catches up to Oz at his locker. o   She wants to talk but he wants space and can’t help feeling like she is more concerned with making herself feel better than what he needs. o   Something about a hammer, nail and hitting it on the head. Point Oz. o   Anya catches up to Cordelia in the halls and expresses sympathy for her and her Xander situation. o   Cordelia and Anya hit it off right away. o   That night at the Bronze, Xander, Willow and Buffy all put on brave faces but their gloom overcomes them quickly. o   Xander watches Cordelia having a grand time with her friends. o   Willow is hyper-sensitive about Xander’s proximity as she is determined to show Oz she is over him. o   Outside the bronze, Buffy reaches out to Cordelia to express her sympathy.

Including Xander and Willow. o   Cordelia quickly realizes that this Sunnydale is not one that she wants to be queen of. o   Walking home from school she is confronted by a now vampiric Xander and Willow. o   She tells them to find Buffy that she can fix things. o   Turns out that even in this Bizarro reality, Cordelia finds Xander and Willow lovey-dovey-vampires. o   Willow is “bored now” and wants to kill Cordelia. o   The White Hats show up led by Oz and Giles and Larry. o   They grab Cordelia and wisk her to the safety of the library. o   Cordelia tells Giles that they have to find Buffy, he’s her watcher he should know where she is. o   Giles is dumbfounded that Cordelia knows about any of that.
