(Willow is talking to Kennedy open where the Potentials can sleep.)
WILLOW: OK, so Annabelle can sleep down here, uh, Molly can sleep in Dawn's room —
KENNEDY: Not if Dawn actually wants to sleep. Molly'll talk her ear off.
WILLOW: OK, then Molly down here, you with Dawn, and Annabelle in my room.
KENNEDY: Bad idea. Annabelle snores.
WILLOW: (hands sheets to Kennedy) You wanna do the sleeping arrangements?
KENNEDY: (starts up the stairs) OK. (turns to face Willow) You, uh, better not hog the covers. (smiles, turns to go upstairs)
Willow eyes widen.
DAWN: (walks up to Willow from the kitchen) Does she want to eat?

WILLOW: When'd you get back?
BUFFY: Uh, just now. Dad drove me down. And I figured you two losers would be getting into some kind of trouble.
WILLOW: I think we had the upper hand. I-in a subtle way.

Buffy walks into her dorm room. She starts to undo the straps on the back of her shirt to take it off as she heads towards her bed.
GILES: Uh, good morning.
Buffy turns around in shock. She sees Giles and Willow behind him at work at Willow's computer. She starts to redo her top.
BUFFY: Giles! I didn't know you were here.
GILES: Oh really?
Willow asks Buffy encouragingly - without speaking out loud: Everything OK with Parker?
BUFFY: I, uh, studying. At the library. (Giles gives her a disbelieving look.) All Saturday night... Uh, you know what. I'm an adult now and it's none of your business where I was.
