The day after Clark's drinking binge on the beach, Xander happens upon the hungover teenager sleeping on the beach. Despite the uncomfortable feeling still between them, Xander tries to get him to the Compound, but only manages to get Clark to the hut he shares with Buffy. Before he passes out on Xander's bed, Clark reassures Xander that despite everything, they're still friends.

( Clark was dead to the world. Plain and simple, dead. )
