Buffy: This thing isn’t digging up the bones of a child for fun.
Xander: Well, a demon’s got some pretty hilarious ideas about fun.
Willow: Bones of a child though. I saw that! An ancient ritual – uses the blood of a man, the bones of a child and – something called the word of Valios? I-It’s all part of the sacrifice – the sacrifice of three.
Buffy: Let me guess – ends the world.
Willow: Well, yeah, - I-it’s not big with the details, though. It doesn’t say how the world ends or what the ritual entails exactly.
Xander: The sacrifice of three... – Three people are going to die?
Buffy: No, they won’t. Because claw boy is not getting all of his ingredients. We have to find that third one, the Word of Valios, keep him from getting it.
Willow: If he doesn’t already have it. I mean, who knows where he’s been?
