## Synopsis

It's late April, and Imogen returns home to her village, where her family's accommodation may not be sorted yet, to deal with her issues. Layla, Barnaby, Robert and Violet are left in the lay-by next to the limo Ra hired for them. The Davidsons say that it's not going well and ask Layla what's Imogen doing. They all get back in the limo and the six kittens there clamber over them. Robert hugs the runt of the litter, a green and blue-eyed heterochromic cat which has a mix of a white and a tabby coat. The driver drives away. Barnaby turns on the TV and the cooking channel, and there's a buff demon with chitin plates wearing ribbons with a cleaver instructing viewers on the preparation of kittens. Barnaby turns it off and talks to Layla. He asks if she's staying with them, and she says that she's "here", while looking out the window. Barnaby says she could run off at any time, and he doesn't want her to. Layla says that sometimes she does, Barnaby asks her to tell them.

Layla accepts that she doesn't get to accept how they help her, and this is what it resulted in. Barnaby says he'll look up what the staff does at home. Layla's still miffed about them not researching. Barnaby says he'd rather have been with her than find it out, and Ra doesn't seem like the guy who'd end the world immediately. She grouses about their mortality again, and Rob reverts to think it’s his fault. Layla snaps at Rob that it isn't his fault. Barnaby tells her not to swear at him. Rob says that despite the strength of Wrath and all his intellect, he failed to kill them. Robert tries to make the point that he separated Layla from her friends to place her at her weakest. She stonewalls him. Barnaby gets frustrated. Robert says it was meant as a trick, but Layla thinks that he was correct. Barnaby puts his head on Rob's shoulder and tries to sleep. Violet, who is uncomfortable, tries to hold Barnaby's hands. After some initial reluctance, he does. The rest of the journey to Little Rosewater and Mr. Davidson's house continues without incident.

Rob and Barnaby can see a slight shimmer off something in front of the house. When they cross the threshold, which has no door, it disappears. They figure it was Ra upholding his end of the contract. Barnaby encourages Rob to see Janet. Before he does, Rob asks the driver about what will happen to the kittens. The driver says they may be eaten; it depends. Robert lets the kittens out of the car. Barnaby grabs the runt and gives it to Rob, who asks whether they should take care of them. Barnaby says they're a lot but gathers them all up. As Robert walks through the door, George Davidson is there with a fire axe at the ready. Seeing his son, he sighs and puts it down. Janet's failing to load a crossbow and drops it on seeing the Davidson brothers, arms full of kittens. George says he's glad they're okay but asks why the kittens. He explains and says that the shield is down. Barnaby says he's got things to do but says it's good to be home. George says that Barnaby's ungrounded for the rest of the weekend, feeling he was a bit harsh about the grounding and Barnaby did violate it for a good cause. Barnaby tells him he has to explain what grounding is. Rob says that's a good plan because there's a vampire on the loose. Rob says that's fine. Janet runs forward and awkwardly hugs Rob. He returns the hug with a cat in his hands. He apologises for leaving her and they update them on the Layla thing.

George asks why Layla and Imogen broke up, since they weren't as angsty around each other. Barnaby agrees and says he doesn't know. George says he'll try training her again and talk to her. Barnaby thinks she needs an authority; George thinks she needs a decent father figure and reminds him Layla has a family. Barnaby tells Janet it's nice that she's not dead, and he grabs books on magical spears before heading back to the limo. He goes back to the dorms with Layla and Violet. Back at the house, George says that Rob seems rather tired and asks what's wrong. Rob stares for a while, then indicates he's not alright. George tells him to sit down and he'll order them a pizza. Robert tells them to be careful of where to go, as Charity's about. George tries to calm down a paranoid Rob. Janet sits there awkwardly, unsure of how to show affection. Rob attempts to stop the kittens from eating books and dissuades his dad from going out to buy cat food. The cats make a mess and Robert groans.

In the limo, Violet asks Layla if she's okay. Layla says she isn’t and doesn't want to talk about it. Violet attempts to help Layla via a therapy guide and admits she can't fix it. Layla looks at her and says she doesn't know whether she can fix it. Violet says she could use spells. Layla says there's always a price and tries to make her promise not to use spells on this matter. She explains that her way of solving things doesn't work in this case. Layla says that everything's wrong. Violet asks how they got together in the first place and doesn't quite understand the subtleties of relationships. Layla thinks it's her fault in trying to be a normal kid. Violet mentions she's been to weirder places in the world to get what she needs/wants; she once started a revolution in Russia to get caviar. Layla says that's the opposite of what she meant, but that kind of thing separates them. Violet tries not to admit that she cares for them and says that the next Slayer might not be so amenable to them and that it's in her interest to keep Layla around. Violet says that Layla's the first Slayer in a while who wasn't trained before being found. Layla says she was trained before. Violet tries to tell Layla she needs friends to survive, and Rob was right in saying that he'd be dead without Layla being there.

Layla says the others are good kids, and now she's taken away from that. Violet points out that Barnaby's no longer a demon, Rob has crazy superscience creations and Imogen's more powerful than ever. Violet asks Layla to promise not to kill her if she says something. Layla says she won't. Violet snaps and says that while Layla's the Slayer, she could be a fucking high school kid for once and shut it with the martyrdom complex, because being around her and the others is nice for once. Imogen wants to do lots of stuff, but she wants to do it with Layla, and needs Layla to stabilise her and Layla needs Imogen to stabilise her. She suggests the martyrdom complex causes the Slayers' death rate and is not a result of it. Violet tries to explain that relationships do result in each side being hurt, and that if Layla doesn't accept that, she can't be friends with anyone. Violet doesn't want that. Violet says that with her age, she's had plenty of fights. She says she can't quit when the going gets tough, neither as the Slayer or in relationships. Layla still is unconvinced and stares off into the distance. Violet states that the only Slayer who lived past 22 in the past hundred years even had a child, and forcibly suggests Imogen and Layla get together for her own safety. Layla is mopey about wants and desires. Barnaby gets in the car and notices the awkward atmosphere, urging the driver to leave.

They arrive at the school and Violet wants to talk to Barnaby. Layla walks off with the bag containing the golem part. Violet asks the driver to leave her and Barnaby, and he goes off to pray. Barnaby calls Violet a terrible liar. She claims she convinced lots of mortals to do things. He concedes but says she does care about them. Violet says Layla and Imogen were good together, and she wants what they had: it looked "fun". Barnaby agrees. Violet propositions him. He agrees.

Layla tosses the golem under the bed and stands around awkwardly before feeding John. She looks at Imogen's bed before crawling into her own, rolling into a ball, and cries. After coitus, the two in the limo agree to not talk about it. Violet tries be disaffected about "sleeping with a human", and Barnaby calls her an awful liar again. Barnaby tries to dissuade her from using the memory spell on Layla and Imogen. She propositions him again in exchange for that. Barnaby feels that the event where Imogen's arm got ripped off is holding Layla back. Barnaby asks whether it's magic and considers using the magic to make her forget there until she and Imogen get back together again, and then break the crystal. Barnaby is still uncertain, but Violet propositions him again. They bonk. Afterwards, Barnaby asks Violet to tell him that he's not lying to his friends again. She says it might be for their own good, and brings up Layla's example, or when she said Barnaby wasn't attractive when she wasn't a demon. Despite these bad examples, they go and do the spell.

Barnaby tries to go to Imogen and Layla's room to get the ingredients for the spell. He knocks, and Layla tells him to go away. He tries and enter, but it's locked. Layla opens the door, looking like a train wreck, blocking his entry. He says he's not here to change her mind and wanted to make sure she's alright. He offers to hang out with her, and she says she wants to be alone. Barnaby says it's a shame because he doesn't. She lets him in and says she's trying to sleep. Barnaby says that it might feel like everyone's attacking her, but he's still around. They awkwardly hang out. He says she's the weirdest person he's ever met, but that's not a bad thing. He asks her to explain what's going on between her and Imogen, and he paces around. She asks him to not do that. Barnaby says that he doesn't want to lose a friend and thinks she feels the same, weird as she is. Layla agrees, but think they can't go back to the way they are and says it's ultimately not her own decision. Barnaby asks if Layla's ever going to get over the stopping-Imogen-from-fighting thing if Imogen comes back. He tries to point out how many times Imogen saved his hide, but it doesn't work. Frustratedly, he mentions that perhaps it could have been different were Layla not here, but she'd be dead in that case. She tries to force him to give an example.

Barnaby says that he would have tried, or Bur'nakk, or the kelpie, or the ghosts. Alternatively, every demon in the Alley would have had a go at her. Layla is unconvinced. Barnaby sits on Imogen's bed and Layla gives him a pointed look. She says she doesn't want Imogen to think she touched any of her stuff. She says she wants to respect her privacy. Layla goes to hurriedly fix Imogen's bed. Barnaby thinks it's weird she cares for Imogen's stuff to that extent. He tells her to hold onto thoughts of keeping Imogen as a friend. Barnaby goes to hug her, saying he'll always be there for her and she returns it. He's relieved that she doesn't hit him. She says she's tired of people telling her what to feel, and that nobody else knows what she's going through as she doesn't know what they're going through. Barnaby apologises for snapping at her a bit. Barnaby tries to steal ingredients from Imogen's stuff, but can't do it without Layla noticing. Not really caring, she thanks him for coming to talk to her. He says he's got an idea and will focus on that and the spear. She asks what the idea is, and he says that nobody knows what a Slayer goes through. He suggests they don't need Imogen for the spell to re-insoul Charity.

Layla says she's not going to do that spell. Barnaby gives up the thought and goes off to study. Layla asks if he wants his help. He agrees and suggests they research like normal. They research for a few hours while Violet waits in Barnaby's room. They only confirm the stuff they know - that it's the Spear of Destiny/Lance of Longinus, used at the Crucifixion of Jesus. Barnaby giggles at "Longinus", and Layla holds back a smile at that. Barnaby doesn't know who Jesus is. She takes a Bible out of the draw and tries to educate him on it. Layla takes the Bible as morals and tells him others worship him. Layla reflects on martyrdom as a result and tells Barnaby she wants to live. Barnaby asks if Layla needs company; she says she doesn't. Barnaby suggests that going on patrol might help her out; she doesn't think so. She says she appreciates Barnaby being here. After some talk about Excalibur he goes to bed. She locks the door behind him. Layla goes under her bed, takes out a shoebox and takes out a journal from it. It's the Slayer journal.

It confirms that most the of the Slayers died young and trained between 8 and 13. One Slayer in the 1970s-80s named Nikki was rebellious enough to have friends, got rid of her Watcher and was eventually killed by a vampire in her twenties, leaving behind a child and partner. She seemed to have a decent life. Layla reads over Katherine Winters' altered pages and asks what happened to her. As she says this, a voice says that the Watchers' Council were complete and utter dicks, so she did her own thing. Charity is at the window.

Barnaby returns to his room to find Violet sitting on his bed. She's got a crystal, with incense and candles. She has a sock over a smoke detector, and he implies that it should be over the doorknob. Violet asks whether they should do the spell or have sex first. Barnaby says Layla's thinking hard about this and wants her to come to the correct conclusion by herself. Violet is insistent on doing the spell; they can break the crystal during the night if they disagree with it, and they can have sex. Barnaby attempts the spell, and out of habit Violet's hand runs up his thigh. He loses concentration, and the energy dissipates. Barnaby falls unconscious, and the crystal falls to the ground. As Layla stands to face Charity, a light enters her room from under the door. There's a flash. Layla falls unconscious. Charity falls unconscious. Elsewhere, Rob, Janet and George are tucking into dinner and fall unconscious. In another part of the UK, Imogen falls unconscious.

### The Incoherent Version

The Incoherent Version of Events:

A Buff bloke wakes up and feels a bit groggy. He doesn't know who he is. Next to him is a dark-haired girl with a hand down his pants. He moves it away and she says "Hi". He asks her why she's touching him. Both of them realise they can't remember anything. The dark-haired girl calls the buff bloke "Sexy". He calls her "Mousey", because she puts her hair behind her ears. "Mousey" asks "Sexy" whether they're a couple because her hand was down his pants. They assume they're one and are uncertain of what to do. "Sexy" tells "Mousey" they need to rediscover their marriage, or something. She thinks he cheated on her as she doesn't have a ring. She decides he's hot enough for them to stay together. He thinks she's "reasonably attractive". She's slightly offended. He tells her that they should probably find someone to let them know what's going on. She agrees and pulls out a key with a number on it - room 14. She suggests they look in room 14. He thinks that they're soldiers because they're in dorms. They go off to find the room.
At the Davidsons', Nerdy-person also wakes up drowsily. His face is damp and there's something sticking to it. He's facepalmed into a pizza. There's a large bulky man sitting next to him, and in the corner, holding onto a pillow, is a girl with dark hair. There are also six kittens. One with miscoloured eyes licks his face, and he strokes it confusedly. Nerdy-person asks how he got here, and when the man asks him, he doesn't know who he is. The man suggests that they're diabetic, drank Fanta, and passed out. The Dark-Haired Girl (no.2) is terrified and suggests there's a gas leak. They notice the front door's broken down, and they wonder whether they broke in. They leave, with the man following with the pizza and the drinks. The large bloke asks who they are. Nerdy-person says they're all in the same situation. Large bloke calls Nerdy-person "Glasses" and Dark-haired girl No. 2 "Pale". They call the buff, scarred gentleman "Tall". Pale hopes that the situation is temporary. Glasses suggests they find someone, though it's midnight.

Pale pulls out a set of keys and says she apparently has a house. Glasses pulls out a Gameboy and a room key marked "Men's dorms". Tall suggests that he's their dad. He suggests they go somewhere where the door isn't broken down. Pale says there's an address on the back of her key. Glasses asks where they are. Tall tells his "son" and "daughter" to look away while he steals the nearby car [his own car]. Glasses asks him how he knows how to do this. Tall says he doesn't know but feels this is the right thing to do. He breaks in and using a local map in the glove box figure out where they are. There's a circle around the school and Tall urges Glasses to go to school. Glasses says he doesn't remember anything. Tall says both Glasses and Pale seem like hard workers. Tall finds a pistol in the car and hides it in his waistband. He says he's a bad influence and Glasses nods. Tall decides to take them "home" to Pale's place and hotwires the car.

Strangely Attractive Goth Girl wakes up, fuzzily. She doesn't remember anything and is confused by the book on weapons in front of her. A voice calls out for help. Strangely Attractive Goth Girl looks out the window, and A Very Attractive-Looking Blonde Girl (Very Attractive Looking) has a leg trapped on a ledge and is hanging off a drain pipe. Strangely Attractive Goth Girl (who also has blonde hair, but EE didn't mention it) finds A Very Attractive-Looking Blonde Girl (Very Attractive Looking) very attractive looking but decides it's more important to help her. The blonde doesn't know what's going on and the goth girl tries to help her in, telling her to come in. Goth Girl pulls the blonde in with one hand, and they're both surprised at her strength. Blonde girl can't remember anything either, and Goth Girl tries to look at her head. It doesn't look like she bumped her head. Blonde Girl says she's kind of attracted to Goth Girl, who reciprocates this. They think that this is Goth Girl's room, and that Blonde Girl is sneaking in to meet her. Blonde Girl thanks her for saving her but doesn't know her own name. Neither does Goth Girl.

Goth and Blonde Girl wonder whether this is a room shared by both Goth and Blonde Girl, and that the latter has sneaked in. They question each other over the ownership of the frog. Blonde Girl touches Goth Girl's hand and shoulder and asks whether it feels good. They assume that they're an item. The blonde notices that the goth's makeup is smudged and takes out a tissue to fix it. Blonde Girl suggests that Goth Girl's Weird Roommate and she had a fight. Blonde Girl awkwardly holds Goth Girl from behind. Goth Girl wants to see a doctor, but Blonde Girl is worried that they'll be thrown in an asylum and their grades will be ruined. Blonde Girl kisses Goth Girl "for good luck" and after struggling with the locked door, leave. Sexy and Mousey appear in the corridor, pretending to be normal. Mousey declares to Goth and Blonde Girl that they're going to have sex. Sexy introduces himself as Sexy and asks the two girls who the rooms belong to. Goth Girl asks whether Sexy and Mousey know who they are. She asks whether this is a hotel; Sexy thinks that's about right.

Mousey wonders whether she's having an affair with Sexy and refuses to he "his hussy". Sexy thinks this is an "affair hotel” and attempts to flirt with Goth Girl. Mousey tells Sexy not to look at other women. Sexy admits he doesn't know he is, and this girl thinks she's his wife. Sexy says that he's above her pay-grade and Mousey slaps him, hard. The two blonde girls think the others are weird. Sexy propositions the other two girls. A Very Attractive-Looking Blonde Girl says that she's with "Blondie" (Strangely Attractive Goth Girl) before realising they're both blonde. Blondie suggests they see a doctor, but don't know where it is. Sexy suggests they check out at reception and explore. Mousey wants to jump Sexy. As they walk, they realise it's probably a school based on what they see, perhaps a school dorm. The Other Blonde Girl, who is wearing a school uniform, suggests that she lives in town and isn't a boarder, and sneaks in at night into Blondie's dorms. Sexy thinks that he and Mousey were studying together. They accuse each other of molesting each other, and Sexy accuses Mousey of being a witch. Blondie and AVALBG(VAL) call Sexy a dick. Sexy and Mousey are asked to explain their situation. They decide to find a way out.

Tall, Glasses and Pale are on their way to Pale's house in an American muscle car with a broken window. The radio is on. Glasses hears someone saying that they can't escape and forget about them. The others ask if he's okay. He explains he heard someone talking. Glasses hears another voice telling him he killed him, Glasses and his friends. Glasses still doesn't notice where it comes from. The voice says that he's a killer, like his father. Glasses looks at Tall and figures that makes sense but is somewhat unsettled. They get to a house with the broken windows upstairs. Pale opens the door and enters. Tall asks Glasses if he has a mental affliction and insists on giving him his medication. Pale runs back out and says there's a dead couple and signs of an explosion. Pale says to Glasses what if Tall killed their parents and kidnapped them.

Glasses asks why he would kidnap them, then give them pizza and kittens. Pale asks if they're a family of killers; Glasses says he doesn't have a compulsion to murder people. Tall insists on getting Glasses to the hospital to get his medication. Glasses would instead prefer to get their memory issues checked, but notices that Tall is worried about his hearing voices thing. Tall attempts to assume the authority of a father figure and stops Glasses from going into the house. Glasses and Pale are worried about being kidnapped by Tall and try to check the boot. Tall jimmies the boot open and is stunned. Glasses walks over, and there is a selection of stakes, flare guns, a sawn-off shotgun. He grabs Pale's hands and starts running, accusing Tall of being a murderer. Tall gets in the car he stole and drives away. Pale tells Glasses they should go to the hospital to get their heads checked out, and there may be police there to protect them.

Sexy, Blondie, Mousey and Other Blondie walk over to an unmanned desk, which has a sign telling them they're in Little Rosewater, and if they have a medical non-emergency to go to the drop-in centre at the Hospital in Greater Rosewater. Sexy realises he has a phone and keys. Blondie suggests he check the contacts and messages to find out who he is. He finds out that "Imogen" wants "Rob" to get a different room. They're confused over who they are; Sexy thinks he's "Rob", and Mousey is "Imogen". Other Blondie tells them just to go to the hospital. They find "Rob"'s car, and he says that because it's awesome, he can't be a dickhead. The other girls think that having such a car is compensating for something. He tries to flirt with them and they all get in the back. "Rob" declares he doesn't know how to drive. He and Blondie have some degree of muscle memory in trying to drive the car. Blondie seems to have a better understanding and drive off. They spot Glasses and Pale. Glasses is in t-shirt and shorts, and Pale is in a school uniform. They're trying to get a lift and are relatively close to each other.

Blondie pulls over and asks if they're okay. Pale says a man tried to kidnap them. "Rob" tells them to bundle in, but there isn't enough room. He feels lustful, and the girls decide to shove him in the boot. Pale and Glasses are concerned. They're asked if they recognise the others, and they don't. They mention they're going to the hospital. The Other Blonde Girl asks whether Blondie wants another pet name. They decide to call her "Buffy". "Buffy" now realises she has an accent. Glasses figures this condition is town-wide. Glasses and Pale tell them about how they were kidnapped, and "Buffy" tells "Rob" to call the police, but his phone runs out of battery. Other Blonde Girl suggests she could be called "Willow". "Rob" is confused about the sand in his pockets, calls Glasses "Sandy" and they guess they're in Australia. He forces a "G'Day" and they agree it's all forced. Willow starts kissing Buffy's ear.

"Sandy" sees headlights coming along a tangential road at speed. "Rob" tells Sandy/Sander to not spill sand everywhere in his car. Sandy points out the car approaching them. Unfortunately, the other car hits them despite "Buffy"'s efforts and pushes them into a ditch. Buffy asks what happened and whether everyone's okay. Sander and Pale point out that the kidnapper is back with a shotgun. They try to run away, while Buffy and Willow try to get everyone out. They run into a forest while Tall assumes he needs to clean up awkwardly. Tall calls Glasses and Pale to come out, and he'll take them where they need to. Willow kisses Buffy full on the lips in case they don't make it out of this, with lots of tongue. "Rob" is sent out to distract Kidnapper. They ask each other who they are. Tall Kidnapper man wants Rob to hand over the others. "Buffy" sneaks around and feels like she's familiar at sneaking. She sneaks up to Tall Kidnapper Man with a Shotgun and knocks him out. He goes down, and the shotgun discharges, missing "Rob" by inches.

"Buffy" says that doing that felt familiar, and "Rob" is concerned. "Willow" says that it felt familiar to her as well, and kisses "Buffy". "Buffy" wants to take Tall Kidnapper Man to the police station, and they're surprised by "Willow"'s strength. Back in the woods, "Sander" screams as "Imogen" drops to the ground, apparently hit by the shotgun blast. She says it stings, and takes out a cracked, black crystal that stopped some of the buckshot. "Imogen" tries to flirt with him, but he resists it, confused about the relationships. Back at the boot, "Willow" suddenly drops Tall Kidnapper Man and enters vampire form with blue eyes. "Rob" pisses himself, and "Buffy" is shocked about "Willow"'s face. The latter asks what's going on and says that the trunk is odd to go near. It makes her skin crawl. "Buffy" asks what the fuck is wrong with "Willow". "Rob" declares them monsters and runs away and tries to explain to the people in the woods. "Buffy" and "Willow" have a heated conversation about their relationship. Eventually, "Willow"'s features disappear, and "Buffy" is consumed by lust. "Buffy" kisses "Willow"'s neck.

 Pale and "Imogen" tell "Rob" and "Sander" that the crystal is vibrating. They don't know whether to break it or not. "Sandy" catches the two blondes making out and concludes they're both evil. Pale sees something light within the crystal, and "Imogen" suggests they break it. "Rob" yanks it out of her hand and smashes it against the tree. There's a blinding light which blasts over them. All their memories surge back to them.

Charity, who is wearing a school uniform, suggests that she lives in town and isn't a boarder, and sneaks in at night into Layla's dorms. Barnaby thinks that he and Violet were studying together. They accuse each other of molesting each other, and Barnaby accuses Violet of being a witch. Layla and Charity call Barnaby a dick. Barnaby and Violet are asked to explain their situation. They decide to find a way out.

George, Robert and Janet are on their way to Janet's house in an American muscle car with a broken window. The radio is on. Robert hears someone saying that they can't escape and forget about them. The others ask if he's okay. He explains he heard someone talking. Robert hears another voice telling him he killed him, Robert and his friends. Robert still doesn't notice where it comes from. The voice says that he's a killer, like his father. Robert looks at George and figures that makes sense but is somewhat unsettled. They get to a house with the broken windows upstairs. Janet opens the door and enters. George asks Robert if he has a mental affliction and insists on giving him his medication. Janet runs back out and says there's a dead couple and signs of an explosion. Janet says to Robert what if George killed their parents and kidnapped them.

Robert asks why he would kidnap them, then give them pizza and kittens. Janet asks if they're a family of killers; Robert says he doesn't have a compulsion to murder people. George insists on getting Robert to the hospital to get his medication. Robert would instead prefer to get their memory issues checked, but notices that George is worried about his hearing voices thing. George attempts to assume the authority of a father figure and stops Robert from going into the house. Robert and Janet are worried about being kidnapped by George and try to check the boot. George jimmies the boot open and is stunned. Robert walks over, and there is a selection of stakes, flare guns, a sawn-off shotgun. He grabs Janet's hands and starts running, accusing George of being a murderer. George gets in the car he stole and drives away. Janet tells Robert they should go to the hospital to get their heads checked out, and there may be police there to protect them.

Barnaby, Layla, Violet and Charity walk over to an unmanned desk, which has a sign telling them they're in Little Rosewater, and if they have a medical non-emergency to go to the drop-in centre at the Hospital in Greater Rosewater. Barnaby realises he has a phone and keys. Layla suggests he check the contacts and messages to find out who he is. He finds out that "Imogen" wants "Rob" to get a different room. They're confused over who they are; Barnaby thinks he's "Rob", and Violet is "Imogen". Charity tells them just to go to the hospital. They find Barnaby's car, and he says that because it's awesome, he can't be a dickhead. The other girls think that having such a car is compensating for something. He tries to flirt with them and they all get in the back. Barnaby declares he doesn't know how to drive. He and Layla have some degree of muscle memory in trying to drive the car. Layla seems to have a better understanding and drive off. They spot Robert and Janet. Robert is in t-shirt and shorts, and Janet is in a school uniform. They're trying to get a lift and are relatively close to each other.

Layla pulls over and asks if they're okay. Janet says a man tried to kidnap them. Barnaby tells them to bundle in, but there isn't enough room. He feels lustful, and the girls decide to shove him in the boot. Janet and Robert are concerned. They're asked if they recognise the others, and they don't. They mention they're going to the hospital. Charity asks whether Layla wants another pet name. They decide to call her "Buffy". Layla now realises she has an accent. Robert figures this condition is town-wide. Robert and Janet tell them about how they were kidnapped, and Layla tells Barnaby to call the police, but his phone runs out of battery. Charity suggests she could be called "Willow". Barnaby is confused about the sand in his pockets, calls Robert "Sandy" and they guess they're in Australia. He forces a "G'Day" and they agree it's all forced. Charity starts kissing Layla's ear.

Robert sees headlights coming along a tangential road at speed. Barnaby tells Robert to not spill sand everywhere in his car. Robert points out the car approaching them. Unfortunately, the other car hits them despite Layla's efforts and pushes them into a ditch. Layla asks what happened and whether everyone's okay. Robert and Janet point out that their-assumed kidnapper is back with a shotgun. They try to run away, and Layla and Charity try to get everyone out. They run into a forest while George assumes, he needs to clean up awkwardly. George calls Robert and Janet to come out, and he'll take them where they need to. Charity kisses Layla full on the lips in case they don't make it out of this, with lots of tongue. Barnaby is sent out to distract the presumed-kidnapper. They ask each other who they are. George Kidnapper man wants Rob to hand over the others. Layla sneaks around and feels like she's familiar at sneaking. She sneaks up to George and knocks him out. He goes down, and the shotgun discharges, missing Barnaby by inches.

Layla says that doing that felt familiar, and Barnaby is concerned. Charity says that it felt familiar to her as well, and kisses Layla. Layla wants to take George to the police station, and they're surprised by Charity's strength. Back in the woods, Robert screams as Violet drops to the ground, apparently hit by the shotgun blast. She says it stings, and takes out a cracked, black crystal that stopped some of the buckshot. Violet tries to flirt with him, but he resists it, confused about the relationships. Back at the boot, Charity suddenly drops George and enters vampire form with blue eyes. Barnaby pisses himself, and Layla is shocked about Charity's face. The latter asks what's going on and says that the trunk is odd to go near. It makes her skin crawl. Layla asks what the fuck is wrong with Charity. Barnaby declares them monsters and runs away and tries to explain to the people in the woods. Layla and Charity have a heated conversation about their relationship. Eventually, Charity's features disappear, and Layla is consumed by lust. Layla kisses Charity's neck.

Janet and Violet tell Barnaby and Robert that the crystal is vibrating. They don't know whether to break it or not. Robert catches the two blondes making out and concludes they're both evil. Janet sees something light within the crystal, and Violet suggests they break it. Barnaby yanks it out of her hand and smashes it against the tree. There's a blinding light which blasts over them. All their memories surge back to them.

### Revelation

Layla Smith vomits over Charity's exposed bra and skin, and the slaypire pushes the Slayer back. Charity legs it into the darkness. Robert Davidson realises that a memory crystal was used and asks who did it. Violet and Barnaby act dodgy. Robert and Barnaby realise about Charity and run towards Layla, who is covered in vomit and in the middle of the road. Robert asks whether everyone's okay. Layla demands to know what happened. Barnaby admits he used the memory spell. Layla accuses Violet of promising to not use a spell (on the Imogen situation). Violet tries to justify herself (badly), and Layla tries to help up George Davidson. Robert accuses Barnaby of hurting his dad. George is just out cold, and Layla apologises for knocking him out. Layla realises she may have invited Charity into her and Imogen's room. Barnaby says they can do the dis-invitation spell. They tell Layla it's a bad idea to chase her. Violet suggests re-insouling Charity. They tell her to shelve the bit with the spells for a bit. Barnaby explains why he did the spell and snaps at Layla about the hospital incident and to get over "this bullshit".

Violet calls out Robert's double standards with her and Imogen's spellcasting. He objects to the intent. Layla tells Barnaby they need time to process things and not to hurry things. She's worried if Imogen is hurt as a result. Violet is saddened by the current state of affairs. Rob says they have to talk things through, and other methods will lead do disaster. He tells them to be honest with each other. Violet admits that she and Barnaby are bonking.
