(Episode opens on Buffy walking into a darkened room. She is surrounded by shiny coffins. She walks between them looking at each, stops next to one. There's a display of urns behind her. Buffy lifts the lid of the coffin. It's empty. The lights come on. Buffy looks up, startled.)

GILES: Buffy you're here. You all right?

BUFFY: Yeah.

Undetaker: Did you find something?

BUFFY: This one.

Undertaker: It's a fine choice. It speaks of your deep feeling for the deceased.

BUFFY: (to Dawn) You don't like it?

DAWN: No, it's not that. It's just ... what if Mom... what if she'd like something else better? I mean how do we know for sure? She's the one who has to be in it forever.

BUFFY: Dawn maybe it wasn't such a good idea you coming along...

DAWN: It's fine. It's just...

BUFFY: I'm serious, you shouldn't have to deal with this stuff.

Undertaker: If you'd like a few more minutes to decide...

BUFFY: No, it's done. It's fine. (to Dawn) Okay?

DAWN: Okay.
