During the course of the event, he remained in Mr. Trick's mansion, communicating to the twins via earpieces while operating a computer system which allowed him to track down targets Buffy Summers and Cordelia Chase (who's place was intended to be filled by Faith Lehane) after secretly placing tracking devices on them disguised as corsages. Buffy discovered this and exploited it make the twins kill each other, while also making it look like the two Slayer were defeated in the process.
