BUFFY: Hey.

WILLOW: Hey. You okay?

BUFFY: Yeah, I just - I don't wanna talk about it. I wanna hear about you and Oz. You saw him, right?

WILLOW: I was with him all night.

BUFFY: All night? (Grins) Oh my god. Wait. Last night was a wolf moon, right?

WILLOW: Yup.

BUFFY: Either you're about to tell me something incredibly kinky, or-

WILLOW: No kink. (Smiling) He didn't change, Buffy. He said he was gonna find a cure, and he did. In Tibet.

BUFFY: (smiling) Oh my god. I can't believe it. (Pause) Okay, I'm all with the woo-hoo here, and you're not.

WILLOW: No, there's "woo" and, and "hoo." But there's "uh-oh," and... "why now?" And... it's complicated.

BUFFY: Why complicated?

WILLOW: (sighs, steels herself) It's complicated... because of Tara.

BUFFY: (frowns) You mean Tara has a crush on Oz? No.

(she figures it out, gets very awkward)

BUFFY: Oh! Oh. Um... well... that's great. You know, I mean, I think Tara's a, a really great girl, Will.

WILLOW: She is. And... there's something between us. It-it wasn't something I was looking for. It's just powerful. And it's totally different from what Oz and I have.

BUFFY: Well, there you go, I mean, you know, you have to - you have to follow your heart, Will. And that's what's important, Will.

WILLOW: Why do you keep saying my name like that?

BUFFY: (with false cheer) Like what, Will?

WILLOW: (sits up) Are you freaked?

BUFFY: What? No, Will, d- (stops herself, sighs) No. No, absolutely no to that question. I'm glad you told me. What did you say to Oz?

WILLOW: I was gonna tell him ... but then we started hanging out, and ... I could just feel everything coming back.

(Buffy looks sympathetic.)

WILLOW: He's Oz, you know?

BUFFY: Yeah. I know.

WILLOW: I don't wanna hurt anyone, Buffy.

BUFFY: No matter what, somebody's gonna get hurt. And the important thing is, you just have to be honest, or it's gonna be a lot worse.
