Back in her room Willow sat on her bed looking through one of the many texts spread out in front of her. Every volume has said the same information that she already knew. Then she got an idea of where she could find specific details on what was happening. She got up and went to her bookcase and picked out the old looking book with DISPLACEMENT written on the cover in old text letters. She began skimming through it looking for the Glarghk Ghul Kashma'nik. When she spotted the familiar words she went to the part that mentioned the visions.
"Got it!" she grabbed an index card and was ready to write down what she found. It spoke of how they were sent into different delusions. The main one was what Buffy had, which were flashes in and out of an alternative reality. Then, Willow noticed the word joint vision, it explained that if the blood from one victim's wound touches the others their delusions will be connected and both will flash into the same setting. She quickly jotted down what she found and headed for Buffy's room to tell what she discovered.
Meanwhile, Buffy had been taking care of Spike's wound. When she lifted the antiseptic spray out of the box the nozzle touched her finger and some of the spray was placed on her cut. She had somehow gotten a small paper cut- like cut on the tip of her index finger. She gave no notice to it and continued with the tending to the wound. When her hand went over the wound again they flashed back into the hospital.
***
Once again they were dressed in the sweats and shirt. Both sat on the floor of a white room with a door to the right and a large mirror on the wall in front of them. They were not alone; above them was the doctor from before. He reached his hand out to Buffy to help her up but Spike quickly intervened, determined to protect his Slayer. The doctor wasn't surprised.
"It's ok William. I want you to remember that I'm only here to help." When he noticed that Spike wasn't going to move he backed away.
"You two stay in here while I go speak with your parents." He walked out the door and led the two couples into another room where they could observe the two "patients". Everyone noticed how much they both trusted each other.
"We have showed you all of our notes. We have concluded that both have somehow combined their thoughts into one world. We have been working with then both and have decided to see if together they can help each other with their problem. As can be seen, they have a lot of trust between each other, and we hope to use that to our advantage." While speaking, he lifted his head to the two - sided mirror and noticed that both Buffy and Spike had slipped back into a catatonic state. He stood up quickly and rushed to the door.
***
Willow found the two the same as before, and in a second was at Buffy's side helping her up. When she noticed the cut on her friends' index finger she knew her theory was correct. She finished fixing up Spike's wound and gave Buffy a band-aid.
She explained what the reason was for the joint vision, but that there was now another problem.
"Since the blood made contact more than once, then even if the blood doesn't touch again you will both be "flashed" to the alternative reality. If something triggers it for one of you then you will both be sent." She placed the index card down on the table at her side. After that Willow began stating her answer to the other question of why Angel and Dru were involved.
"The whole point of the different universe was Buffy's life if she had not become a Slayer. All those she met afterwards are told to be figments of her imagination. When Spike entered the scene all that changed and a life had to be made for him so as to be part of the delusion."
The two sat listening to what was said and nodded their heads.
Willow then turned to Spike.
"Seeing as how Dru was your sire and Angel was your 'grand' sire, I suppose that they were placed in the position of your parents. "
"Ok so we now know what's going on. The only thing left is to make some more antidote and then no worries." Spike stood from the bed and was headed downstairs until he heard Buffy say "Wait, how do we get antidote with out the demon?"
"Bloody hell, now what do we do?"
