Dawn loses Cassie. Buffy (with unexpected help from Spike) breaks up Peter's sacrafice/demon raising, saves Cassie. But her heart gives out. The Scoobies debrief, Buffy goes on with her counseling.

Memorable Moments:

  • Millie, um, I mean Amanda, asking for bully-pounding advice from Buffy. This is especially funny if you ever watched Freaks & Geeks and recognize the actress, who looks here pretty much exactly the same as she did in that show.
  • Willow visiting Tara's grave
  • Cassie's "I don't wanna die" monologue, reminiscent of Buffy's in Prophecy Girl
  • Spike's plea that Buffy stay and help him be quiet.
  • Cassie's final prophecy that Buffy will make a difference, followed by her sudden death of natural causes.
