Epilogue
“Honey, I’m home. Could you give me a hand getting the suitcases from the car—” Joyce stopped abruptly at the sight of two slayers in identical outfits rolling around in piles of money on her living room couch. “What is God’s name is going on here? Who’s the hell is she, and where did all this come from?”

He styles himself Lord of the Dark,
but spends his nights holed up in cellars.
His bite may be worse than his bark;
he’s bitten none, so who can tell us?
Blackadder, Blackadder, he does not like the sun;
Blackadder, Blackadder, makes being evil fun.
The Slayer, The Slayer, she knows not whom to trust,
and William, The Bloody, well he’s no more, he’s dust.
To conclude with Rule Britannia in full chorus
