Buffy to faint, and she is taken to hospital where her flu is diagnosed as serious enough to keep her
in hospital for a couple of days. While delirious with the fever, she sees an ugly demon creeping
through the hospital after a small boy, who dies the next day. Angelus tries to visit Buffy, but Xander
faces him down in a tense confrontation. The flu is very strong, and although Buffy is recovering,
these kids are dying. Giles is skeptical of Buffy's account of the demon, and believes it to be the
work of the sinister Dr Backer. He is killed the next day, so Buffy infects herself with the flu virus
so she can see the demon, and uses violence to kill it.
