In Wolfram & Hart's science lab, Knox oversees the delivery of a sarcophagus; when Fred touches one of the crystals that cover the lid, a puff of dusty air is released, making her cough. As Fred meets Wesley downstairs, she coughs up blood and collapses; after she regains consciousness in the medical wing, her friends assure her that she'll be okay, even though they don't know what's wrong with her. "This will do."
