The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Saturday, December 24th

JOYCE: Oh. You know, honey, I was thinking. Maybe we should invite Faith to spend Christmas Eve with us.
BUFFY: I don't know. Faith and I don't really hang out. Or talk or make eye contact lately.
JOYCE: Do you really wanna let her spend Christmas Eve all by herself in that dingy little motel room?
BUFFY: You're still number one with a guilt trip, Mom.
JOYCE: I try.
BUFFY: I'll ask her.
JOYCE: You're a doll.
