Plot synopsis

Willow complains about receiving a 740 on the Verbal portion of her SATs, while Xander notes that her Verbal score closely resembles his combined score. Buffy's unexpected SAT score of 1430 makes her start to think about all of the opportunities open to her in her future, should she want them.

That night, Spike drives through the "Welcome to Sunnydale" sign, an echo of his actions when he first came to Sunnydale in School Hard, but this time he is extremely drunk and alone; he falls out of the car and reprises his first line in the series – "Home sweet home!" – before passing out. He returns to the old burned down factory (despondently singing Sid Vicious's cover of "My Way") and surveys the damage. He begins to shout and cry, destroying Drusilla's charred dolls and drunkenly wondering why she left him.
