Buffy arrives at school in a car with Cameron, a member of the school swim team. He makes persistent sexual advances that are unwelcome, so Buffy slams his head against the steering wheel. Giles informs Buffy that the remains of another member of the team, Dodd, were found on the beach after a party. The Scooby Gang try to determine what killed him. Xander bumps into Cameron who rubs his elite status, as a member of the swim team, in Xander's face and goes to the cafeteria for a snack. Xander hears him scream and on investigating, finds a ransacked cafeteria, Cameron's skin and a humanoid sea creature.
