GILES: Uh, I don't know what to say.

BUFFY: Tell me about it.

GILES: She has no idea?

BUFFY: No. She thinks she's my kid sister.

GILES: Are you going to tell her?

BUFFY: How can I? (sighs, gets up) She'd freak, and that's the last thing we need. (sighs) We have to keep her safe.

GILES: This ... woman, this, uh, whatever she was... she knows you now. Should we be thinking about ... sending Dawn away?

BUFFY: Away where?

GILES: I don't know, uh ... your father's?

BUFFY: (scoffs) Yeah, he's, um ... in Spain, with his secretary. Living the cliche. I called him when Mom got sick, he hasn't even...

GILES: I'm sorry.

BUFFY: When he bailed on us ... I remember, Dawn cried for a week. Except she didn't. She wasn't there, but ... I can still feel what it was like. They sent her to me, Giles. I think ... I have to take care of her. I want to.

GILES: Do we tell the others?

BUFFY: No. No one. They-they'd act weird around her, and it's, it's safer for everyone if they don't know.

GILES: Yes. We have to find out who this woman is, and what she needs Dawn for. I mean, if she comes after you-

BUFFY: She'll come. She'll come for us.

(Cut to a pile of rubble that suddenly explodes upward as Glory throws it off of her. She rises in the middle of the destroyed building, still wearing her red dress. She looks around angrily.)

GLORY: Okay. Now I'm upset.
