ANDREW: Does Buffy know?
XANDER: She didn’t take her phone.
ANDREW: Incommunicado.
WILLOW: Well, we’ll tell her as soon as she gets back.
DAWN: Let’s not.
WILLOW: What? Dawn, she has to know.
DAWN: I know. Just not right away. (beat) Guys, when Mom appeared to me she said—
WILLOW: Dawnie…
DAWN: No, please. She said something about Buffy and I’m thinking… I’m just not so sure Buffy will be happy for me.
