Giles: Buffy, Jade is dead. (Buffy looks up at Giles.)
Buffy: Dead, oh.
Harmony: So what do we do?
Hiploid demon: We display no mercy. At the right time, on the right date, at the right place, we will destroy them all.
Anya: So what do you think of that Cathedral on fifth street?
Vampire 1: The Hiploid demon will bring salvation to all of us. He has a weapon to destroy good. One so powerful, that nothing will be able to stop it. (Jade is lying on her back, on top of wooden crates. She is crying. All the demons look at her.)
demon: This is the weapon?
Hiploid demon: This is the one the humans call.. . .
Buffy: Jade. (Buffy turns to Spike.) She was here.

The Seed Of Good & Evil Chapter 17
(Scene 1: The next mourning Buffy looks at the mirror in her room. She goes over to her dresser to pick up her brush when she sees the pacifier she found at the warehouse. She picks it up and looks at it when unexpectedly Willow comes in.)
Willow: Hey Buffy. (Buffy puts the pacifier in her pocket.) Ready for some shop till you drop wedding clearance mania? It's one hundred percent craziness, but only for a limited time.
Buffy: That was today?
Willow: OK, that response, never a hopeful response.
Buffy: Will, can I write a rain check?
Willow: No, your rain checks aren't good here.
Buffy: Funny, because usually those are the only ones that are good.
Willow: Why can't you come?
Buffy: Work and lots of it. Besides the hiploid demon is not going to find himself. Ok I'm pretty sure that made some sense in my head.
Willow: What happen to having fun time?
Buffy: It's still a priority, but its percentage took a slight. . . . ly large nosedive. Tell Anya I'm sorry and I hope she finds what she's looking for. Her weddings going to be perfect, I'm going to make sure of it.
(Scene 2: In the sewers of Sunnydale the hiploid demon is meeting with a large Boxer demons. Harmony is in the back ground holding Jade.)
Hiploid demon: So why are you here?
Boxer demon: Majesty isn't happy. Everyone found out that the slayer lives and you do as well.
Hiploid demon: Majesty, has nothing to worry about, I will kill the slayer in due time. I have it planned down to the last detail.
Boxer demon: Forget details. My men are ready, right now, are you?
(The hiploid doesn't say anything. Harmony looks over at them.)
(Scene 3: Buffy is training in the back room of the Magic Box when Giles walks in. She stops when she sees him.)
Buffy: Giles, find anything on the hiploid?
Giles: I'm afraid not, but I'm sure we will. Were there any useful leads at the warehouse? (Buffy looks down.)
Buffy: No, nothing important, but I think I'm going to try some other places around town tonight.
Giles: Buffy, excuse me if I illustrate intrusiveness in any fashion of the word, but perhaps it would be prudent if you rested for the remainder of the week.
Buffy: Sorry Giles, but all rest and no work makes Buffy a very out of shape and ineffectual slayer and I can't have that.
Giles: Of course not, but..
Buffy: Then it's settled. I'm patrolling tonight and every night after it until I find the hiploid demon.
Giles: You're slaying preferably over resting?
Buffy: Yeah, ain't that a kick in the head?
Giles: Well I thought you were going dress shopping with the others. Why aren't you at least spending money?
Buffy: Two reasons. One, I lack the money to spend and two. . . I did find something at the warehouse. Something I think could change everything. (Giles gives a concerned look.)
(Scene 4: Anya, Willow, Tara, and Dawn are at a dress shop. Dawn is in the dressing room.)
Dawn: I'm not coming out in this.
Anya: Come on Dawn, I want to see how my flower slash slug toss girl looks.
Tara: Slug toss girl?
Willow: Xander and Anya decided to integrate some demon and human traditions.
Tara: Like a multi-cultural fair.
Willow: Sure, but with more horns and slimy things.
Anya: Dawn!
Dawn: I'm coming (Dawn comes out. She's wearing a hideous looking furry, ruffled dress.)
Willow: Dawnie you look, well you look.
Anya: Beautiful, I love it. I absolutely love it. This is the one. (Dawn looks at Willow.)
Willow: Anya do you really think this is the one, one?
Anya: Yes, it's great. (Dawn looks down.)
Willow: Whoa, do you see that Tara?
Tara: What? (Willow bows Tara softly.) Oh, yeah, I do.
Anya: See what?
Willow: Anya that dress.
Anya: What about it, it's perfect.
Willow: Yeah it is if you want Dawn to look like a, a, um. . .
Tara: A bunny rabbit.
Anya: (Anya turns to Tara and Willow.) What an evil thing to say. It does not make her look like that bloodcurdling creature. (Willow and Tara tilt their heads and look at Dawn. Anya turns to Dawn and tilts her head as well.)
Willow: If you stare long enough you can imagine the ears right on top of her head. (Dawn gives herself bunny ears with her fingers.)
Anya: Oh, dear God it does make her look like a bunny, it's hideous. What am I going to do? (Dawn walks up to Anya.)
Dawn: Don't worry Anya, we'll find another dress. (Dawn hugs Anya and mouths Thank you to Willow and Tara.)
(Scene 5: Giles and Buffy are sitting at one of the tables at the Magic Box. Giles is holding the pacifier.)
Giles: Buffy, are you certain?
Buffy: I remember hearing her cry. If she did die how can I remember that? And I have these dreams and visions that could be more like memories.
Giles: Or they could be your approach to lamenting Jade. (Giles puts the pacifier down.) Mourning a child, I imagine would be difficult and quite agonizing.
Buffy: Imagine, that's right Giles that's all you can do is imagine, but I have to feel it, everyday of every second. You never felt her. You didn't hear her crying for you!
Giles: And there's a possibility you didn't either? You've never truly wept for Jade, you've covered it up with lighthearted witticisms or by shifting conversations, but you have to face fact.
Buffy: To hell with your fact! She's a live, why don't you believe me?
Giles: I'm sorry, but I can't and neither can you. Your emotional Buffy, (Buffy gets up.) and where are you going?
Buffy: Where else Giles, to find my daughter. (Buffy grabs her jacket off the chair and leaves.)
Giles: Buffy! Buffy!
(Scene 6: Spike is in his crypt. There's knock at the door.)
Spike: I'm coming! (The knocking gets louder.) Hold your britches bloat. I'm here. (Spike opens the door. Harmony is standing there. Spike starts laughing.) You've got stones honey, but there's an empty skull with your name on it. (Spike grabs Harmony and pins her up against the wall.) What do want?
Harmony: As much as I totally don't like you.
Spike: Sorry Harm, wrong answer.
Harmony: Spiky, I can't let them do what they're planning to do to all of you. Dust me and it's like you've signed your little gang's death certificates.
Spike: What do you know?
Harmony: I know when, where, and how everyone of your friends is going to die and I can help you stop it.

(When a known enemy is in their mist.)
Spike: Harmony wants to help us.
(Will the gang believe her red flag means peace?)
Willow: Sorry, but I just can't seem to trust her as far as I can throw her.
