(Giles sits up)

ANYA: Giles? You're not dead.

GILES: No... (she hugs him fiercely) However, I am still in some pain.

ANYA: Why aren't you dead? Why aren't I dead?

GILES: The threat's gone. Willow's been stopped.

ANYA: You mean she's--?

GILES: No, she's alive. It ah... The magic she took from me, it did what I hoped it would do

ANYA: (getting it) You dosed her. You knew she w!s going to take your powers all along.

GILES: The gift that was given me by the coven was the true essence of Magic. Willow's magic came from a place of rage and power.

ANYA: And vengeance. Don't forget vengeance.

GILES: Oh, how could I? In any case, the magic she took from me tapped into the spark of humanity she had left. Helped her to feel again... gave Xander the opportunity to reach her.

ANYA: Xander?

GILES: Yes. It was he who got to her in time. He saved us all.
