The next morning, Tori and Justin are still mad about Buddy being kidnapped by Willow. The phone she was using is untraceable. They briefly chat about Mick chasing after Ziggy, and are glad that the situation might be able to be used to control Mick. Justin looks to a photo of Buddy from Willow and decides to try and track them both down.
