BUFFY: It's all OK now. I hope you're not too disappointed.

(booby trap goes off, Buffy stops the arrow just before it hits Cassie)

BUFFY: See? You can make a difference.

CASSIE: And you will. (collapses)

BUFFY: Cassie? Cassie. Cassie. No, come on. Cassie. Cassie.

(cut to later)

WILLOW: How is her mom?

BUFFY: OK. As OK as... she told me that her family had a history of heart irregularities, but she never told Cassie.

WILLOW: Cassie didn't know? Then it was fate?

XANDER: I think she was gonna die, no matter what, wasn't she. Didn't matter what you did.

BUFFY: She just knew. She was special. I failed her.

DAWN: (crying) Uh-uh. No. You didn't, 'cause you tried. You listened, and you tried. She died 'cause of her heart, not 'cause of you. She was my friend because of you. I guess sometimes you can't help.

BUFFY: So what then? What do you do when you know that? When you know that maybe you can't help?

(Buffy is back at work. She hangs her coat on the coat tree, and sits down at her desk, and starts going through files.)
