1 00:00:02,213 --> 00:00:05,922 - Previously on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer": - Your sister took my Key, Dawnie, 2 00:00:06,013 --> 00:00:08,925 and she won't give it back. I betyou know where she put it. 3 00:00:09,013 --> 00:00:12,244 "They had to be certain the Slayer would protect it with her life." 4 00:00:12,333 --> 00:00:15,484 "So they sent the Key to her in the form of a sister." 5 00:00:15,573 --> 00:00:20,806 Let Glory understand this: I won't help her find the Key. I'd never do that to an innocent. 6 00:00:21,173 --> 00:00:23,289 - An innocent? - It's not a person. 7 00:00:24,813 --> 00:00:29,204 - What about the Key? - He indicated that it was a person. 8 00:00:34,493 --> 00:00:35,323 Oh, God, no. 9 00:00:35,413 --> 00:00:36,607 I love you. 10 00:00:36,693 --> 00:00:39,924 The only chance you had with me was when I was unconscious. 11 00:00:40,013 --> 00:00:42,004 You are not my boyfriend! 12 00:00:43,533 --> 00:00:45,683 - I got the impression she was a... - Robot. 13 00:00:45,773 --> 00:00:47,684 - Yeah, robot. - She's a robot. 14 00:00:47,773 --> 00:00:50,731 I made her to love me. I didn't make a toy. 15 00:00:51,773 --> 00:00:54,241 - I made a girlfriend. - I'm placing an order. 16 00:00:54,333 --> 00:00:58,565 - I'm not making any more girls. - Sure you are. Here's your specs. 17 00:00:59,773 --> 00:01:02,003 Mom? 18 00:01:02,093 --> 00:01:04,448 What are you doin'? 19 00:01:04,533 --> 00:01:05,727 Mommy? 20 00:01:05,813 --> 00:01:09,806 We commend to Almighty God our sister, Joyce Summers. 21 00:01:11,173 --> 00:01:14,324 - But it's tomorrowthat I'm worried about. - What's tomorrow? 22 00:01:14,413 --> 00:01:16,483 That's exactly what I don't know. 23 00:01:20,093 --> 00:01:23,972 - Giles, you don't have to help. You cooked. - Come on. I quite like to cook. 24 00:01:24,133 --> 00:01:28,411 - Helping you two out makes me feel useful. - Wanna clean out the garage on Saturday? 25 00:01:28,493 --> 00:01:30,961 - You'd feel indispensable. - Howtempting. 26 00:01:31,053 --> 00:01:36,252 Dawn, get the plates from your room before they get furry and we have to name them. 27 00:01:36,333 --> 00:01:38,324 I was, like, five then. 28 00:01:42,253 --> 00:01:44,403 How's she doing? 29 00:01:45,733 --> 00:01:47,928 And you? 30 00:01:48,373 --> 00:01:51,843 I'm OK. Well, some minutes are harder than others. 31 00:01:53,493 --> 00:01:57,691 I'm so sorry. All I can say is, it will get better. 32 00:01:59,213 --> 00:02:01,204 It has to. 33 00:02:03,453 --> 00:02:06,968 We're holding up, though. You know, getting into a routine. 34 00:02:07,053 --> 00:02:09,442 Good. Routine's good. 35 00:02:09,853 --> 00:02:14,244 In fact, I was thinking that we might return to our training schedule. 36 00:02:17,293 --> 00:02:19,249 I don't know. 37 00:02:19,333 --> 00:02:21,528 I was thinking about... 38 00:02:21,613 --> 00:02:23,285 maybe... 39 00:02:23,373 --> 00:02:25,841 taking a break or something. 40 00:02:27,013 --> 00:02:30,688 Just ease off for a while. Not get into full slay mode. 41 00:02:31,613 --> 00:02:33,888 You were doing so well. 42 00:02:34,453 --> 00:02:37,525 And you were great, helping me with everything. 43 00:02:38,493 --> 00:02:42,725 I'm just starting to feel uneasy about stuff. 44 00:02:43,293 --> 00:02:46,763 - Stuff? - Training. Slaying. 45 00:02:46,853 --> 00:02:48,809 All of it. 46 00:02:49,253 --> 00:02:53,610 I just... I mean, I can beat up the demons until the cows come home. 47 00:02:53,693 --> 00:02:56,924 And then I can beat up the cows. 48 00:02:57,013 --> 00:03:01,052 - But I'm not sure I like what it's doing to me. - Butyou've mastered so much. 49 00:03:01,133 --> 00:03:04,045 - I mean, your strength and resilience alone... - Yeah. 50 00:03:04,133 --> 00:03:08,365 Strength, resilience. Those are all words for hardness. 51 00:03:10,973 --> 00:03:16,001 I'm starting to feel like being the Slayer is turning me into stone. 52 00:03:16,093 --> 00:03:18,482 Turning you into stone? Buffy... 53 00:03:18,573 --> 00:03:20,928 Just think about it. 54 00:03:21,013 --> 00:03:24,608 I was never there for Riley. Not like I was for Angel. 55 00:03:24,933 --> 00:03:28,050 - I was terrible to Dawn. - At a time like this... 56 00:03:28,133 --> 00:03:31,569 - No. - ...you're bound to feel emotionally numb. 57 00:03:31,973 --> 00:03:33,964 Before that. 58 00:03:34,653 --> 00:03:38,328 Riley left because I was shut down. He's gone. 59 00:03:39,853 --> 00:03:42,321 And now my mom is gone. 60 00:03:42,653 --> 00:03:45,247 And I loved her more than anything. 61 00:03:46,693 --> 00:03:50,242 And I don't know if she knew. 62 00:03:50,573 --> 00:03:52,564 She knew. 63 00:03:53,213 --> 00:03:56,205 - Always. - I don't know. 64 00:03:56,693 --> 00:03:59,002 To slay, to kill, 65 00:03:59,093 --> 00:04:02,085 it means being hard on the inside. 66 00:04:02,933 --> 00:04:07,370 Maybe being the perfect slayer means being too hard to love at all. 67 00:04:07,453 --> 00:04:10,570 I already feel like I can hardly say the words. 68 00:04:10,653 --> 00:04:12,371 - Buffy... - Giles... 69 00:04:13,293 --> 00:04:14,851 I love you. 70 00:04:14,933 --> 00:04:18,892 Love, love, love, love, love. Giles, it feels strange. 71 00:04:18,973 --> 00:04:21,646 Well, I shouldn't wonder. 72 00:04:21,733 --> 00:04:24,531 How serious are you about this? 73 00:04:27,253 --> 00:04:31,087 Ten. Serious to the amount of ten. 74 00:04:34,333 --> 00:04:37,006 There is something in the Watchers' Diaries. 75 00:04:38,253 --> 00:04:40,369 - A quest. - A quest? 76 00:04:40,453 --> 00:04:43,889 - Like finding a grail or something? - Not a grail. 77 00:04:43,973 --> 00:04:46,328 Maybe answers. 78 00:04:46,413 --> 00:04:48,768 It would take a day, perhaps two. 79 00:04:48,973 --> 00:04:52,852 I'm not leaving Dawn. Not with Glory looking for her. 80 00:04:52,933 --> 00:04:54,730 Sure you can. 81 00:04:54,813 --> 00:04:57,407 What's the deal? 82 00:04:57,493 --> 00:05:01,372 Some slayers before Buffy found it helpful in regaining their focus, 83 00:05:01,453 --> 00:05:06,402 in learning more about their role. There's a sacred place in the desert. It's not far. 84 00:05:06,493 --> 00:05:08,404 But I can't go. 85 00:05:08,493 --> 00:05:10,688 I'm not leaving you, Dawn. 86 00:05:11,933 --> 00:05:16,051 If you have to go learn...

The scenario responses, you know, the special skills... 104 00:06:23,413 --> 00:06:29,170 - All of it. Now, you said I could leave town... - Wait. I'm not sure I'm a satisfied customer. 105 00:06:29,253 --> 00:06:33,531 She looks a little shiny to me. You know, a touch of Plasticine... 106 00:06:34,973 --> 00:06:38,010 Spike?

He can't be the Key. 358 00:27:47,173 --> 00:27:50,483 Because, see, the Key has to be pure. 359 00:27:52,093 --> 00:27:55,972 This is a vampire. Lesson number one: vampires equal impure. 360 00:27:56,053 --> 00:28:00,729 Yeah, damn right I'm impure. I'm as impure as the driven yellow snow. Let me go. 361 00:28:00,973 --> 00:28:04,727 You can't even brain-suck a vampire.

She protected this one above all others. 364 00:28:12,533 --> 00:28:15,286 She treated him as precious. 365 00:28:16,493 --> 00:28:18,643 Really? Precious? 366 00:28:20,293 --> 00:28:22,648 Let's take a peek atyou, precious. 367 00:28:24,693 --> 00:28:26,684 Sod off. 368 00:28:33,253 --> 00:28:36,450 - He doesn't look very fancy to me. - Easy with the lip! 369 00:28:36,533 --> 00:28:39,684 But if the Slayer protects him, 370 00:28:39,773 --> 00:28:42,731 maybe appearances are deceiving. 371 00:28:47,493 --> 00:28:50,132 Maybe there's something on the inside. 372 00:28:55,053 --> 00:28:58,489 What do you know, precious?
