Next Clip in Episode

(Cut to Buffy sitting unresponsive in the chair in Xander's bedroom. Cut to Willow sitting on Xander's bed staring at Buffy. Back inside the magical vision.)

WILLOW: I can't keep following you around like this, Buffy. We have to go. You have to talk to...

(Willow enters the room, sees something on the floor.)

WILLOW: ...me.

(Willow walks slowly into the room as we see what she's looking at. It is Joyce's graveyard plot complete with a mound of fresh dirt, sprinkled with fallen leaves, and a fringe of grass. The headstone reads Joyce Summers 1958-2001. Buffy #2 stands staring at the grave with her arms folded. Willow walks up next to her, also looking at the grave. )

WILLOW: I'm sorry.

BUFFY #2: Don't be. Death is my gift.

WILLOW: Yeah, I keep hearing that, but I'm not exactly sure what it means.

BUFFY: (shrugs) It's really not that complicated.

(they go through another door, into Dawn's room)

WILLOW: Not for you, maybe ...

BUFFY: It's what I do. C'mon, you've known me for how long? It's what I'm here for. It's all I am.

(smothers Dawn with a Pillow)

WILLOW: Stop! No, God, no. Stop!

BUFFY: What? I keep telling you, Will. I figured it out. Death is my gift.
