XANDER: Very bad. Very, very, very bad. Bad.

ANYA: He's all traumatized.

WILLOW: Well, whatever it is, it's not the, the traditional haunting, because i-it's not limited to one specific place, and there's not, you know, a dead person.

TARA: Not any more.

ANYA: I bet it's a hitchhiker.

XANDER: A hitchhiker?

ANYA: Um, standard way to travel through dimensions. Uh, some demon-thing sees someone moving between worlds, and grabs on for the ride.

WILLOW: You mean like, some hell-beastie rode in with Buffy? Like ... we're responsible for this?

TARA: Assume crash positions.

ANYA: I think we shouldn't've brought Buffy back. I knew it was going to end badly. I should've said something.

XANDER: Okay, fine, but ... what are we gonna do? I mean, I'm feeling the need for some vigorous doing, you know?

WILLOW: It's okay. We, we just kill the beastie and then all is good. We're rolling in puppies! ... Right?

XANDER: Can we do that? Kill it?

BUFFY: (OS) We killing something?

WILLOW: Buffy! You're not supposed to be up.

TARA: How, how are you feeling? Are you okay?

BUFFY: So what are we killing?

ANYA: A demon you brought back from Hell with you.

BUFFY: Oh.

WILLOW: It's not like she's making it sound. A little haunting-type stuff. Boo-scary, everything's normal.

TARA: You shouldn't worry about it.

BUFFY: Um, I remember something, last ... night, uh...

XANDER: Buff?

BUFFY: (snaps out of it) Um ... the photographs. O-of us. They changed.

TARA: How did they change?

BUFFY: They were ... dead. I-I-I mean, we were dead. Like, um ... dead bodies? But, but then they were okay. So I just, you know, figured it was me. That I was going crazy.

ANYA: Well, maybe you are. Going crazy. From Hell. (gets a look) No. You're fine.

WILLOW: You are. And Buffy, we're, we're so glad.

XANDER: Yeah. This thing, this haunting thing, we'll fix it, and then we'll still have you back, which is ... it's so important.

WILLOW: Yes.

TARA: It's wonderful.

BUFFY: We should get to work.
