"The He-Mantis was destroyed I take it?" Giles asked.

"Yeah Xander killed Mrs. French's evil love child." Buffy confirmed. "I'm still not sure how one survived. I mean we all saw Xander smash all the ones at her house."

"I guess it's just one of those crazy questions we're never going to be able to answer." Xander shrugged. Buffy gave Giles a look.

"I think I'll do some more research." Giles headed towards the books on bugs.

"Well at least things are quiet again." Buffy sighed sitting down at the study table. "I was thinking of trying out for Juliet in Cordelia's production."
