BUFFY'S HOUSE - NIGHT
Buffy, Faith, and Spike walk into Buffy's house through the front door. Dawn and Giles are at the dining room table.
FAITH
Whoa. Memory Lane. Same old house.
BUFFY
Yeah, well, every piece of furniture's been destroyed and replaced since you left, so, actually, new house.
DAWN

BUFFY

FAITH

GILES

FAITH

BUFFY

DAWN

GILES
She's still there. She's gonna call if the girl wakes up.
BUFFY
(glares at Giles) Fine. (walks out of the room)
GILES
Well, Faith, we better, um, see if we can find some place to squeeze you in for the night. (Giles and Dawn walk away)
SPIKE
Not all that tension was about you. Giles was a part of a plan to kill me...for Buffy's own good.
FAITH
Well, that makes me feel better about me, worse about Giles...kinda shaky about you.
