JOYCE: Are you saying that Buffy could be like she was before any of this happened?

Doctor: Mrs. Summers, you have to understand the severity of what's happened to your daughter. Over the last 6 years she's been in a undifferentiated type of schizophrenia...

Hank: We know what her condition is. That's not what we're asking.

Doctor: Buffy's delusion is multi-layered. She believes she's some type of hero.

JOYCE: the Slayer?

Doctor: The Slayer, right. But that's only one level. She's also created an intricate latticework to support her primary delusion. In her mind, she's the central figure in a fantastic world beyond imagination. She's surrounded herself with friends, most with their own super-powers, who are as real to her as you or me. More so, unfortunately. Together they face grand, overblown conflicts against an assortment of monsters both imaginary and rooted in actual myth. Every time we think we're getting through to her, more fanciful enemies magically appear and she's...

BUFFY: My enemies...Warren... and Jonathan, they did this to me!

Doctor: Buffy, it's alright. They can't hurt you here, you're with your family.

BUFFY: Dawn...

Hank: That's the sister, right?

Doctor: The magical key. Buffy inserted Dawn into her delusion, actually rewriting the entire history of it, to accommodate the need for a familial bond. Buffy, but that created inconsistencies, didn't it? Your sister, your friends, all those people you created, Sunnydale. They aren't as comforting as they once were, are they? They're coming apart.

JOYCE: Buffy, listen to what the doctor's saying, it's important.

Doctor: Buffy, you used to create these grand villains to battle against. And now what is it? Just ordinary students you want to high school with. No gods, or monsters. Just 3 pathetic little men, who like playing with toys.
