WILLOW: Buffy?

DAWN: She's not here.

WILLOW: Dawn? Oh my God. What're you? Dawn, what happened here? What? You're cut.

DAWN: I'm all right.

WILLOW: Let me see, make sure.

DAWN: I saw Mom.

WILLOW: What?

DAWN: She was here, Willow. I saw her. She was here, and she spoke to me.

WILLOW: Oh, sweetie.

DAWN: No, she was right here, and?and then she wasn't. She?

WILLOW: It wasn't her.

DAWN: What?

WILLOW: At least, I don't think. I-I saw something too, and it looked like... someone else, but it wasn't.

DAWN: I don't understand.

WILLOW: It's the Big Bad, Dawn. The one we knew was coming.

DAWN: But, that's what she said. Mom, she said that things were coming, that things were on their way, (deciding not tell everything Joyce said) and that she loves us. So, it had to be her, right? I mean, her warning was true.

WILLOW: I don't know. I just don't think we can trust anything right now.

DAWN: So maybe the evil thing messing with you was here too. Only maybe it was the thing trying to keep mom away. 'Cause she was trying to protect me. Maybe.
