00:01Don, what's wrong with Mom?
00:03Previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
00:06I don't know.
00:08Buffy's like nobody else in the world.
00:10When I'm with her, it's like half of me is just on fire,
00:14going crazy if I'm not touching her.
00:18But she doesn't love me.
00:20I know you got a lot in your mind.
00:22You decide you want to let me in on any of it.
00:25You let me know.
00:27We could go somewhere else.
00:31Some place more private.
00:34Oh, Sandy, Sandy.
00:38My heart belongs to another.
00:42Besides, I don't go out with vampires.
00:46Spike, I want you.
00:53God, I love you so much.
00:55Oh, God, no.
00:58Please, no.
01:01Are you okay?
01:02You know the nothing that I've been dealing with the last couple of weeks?
01:06It might not be nothing.
01:08What is it?
01:09I'm staying overnight at the hospital for observation.
01:13I'm getting a cat scan.
01:14I'm getting a cat scan.
01:15I'm getting a cat scan.
01:16I don't know.
01:46I don't know.
02:16I don't know.
02:18What is the CAT scan exactly?
02:21I don't know.
02:26It's an X-ray, I guess.
02:31Where do they get the CAT scan from?
02:33I mean, do they test it on cats or...
02:39Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?
02:45Don, I'm really...
02:47You're one-stop spot to shop for all your occult needs.
03:03Catchy.
03:04Think so?
03:05Uh-huh.
03:06In a hard-to-read sort of way, but I think it's great.
03:09Oh.
03:10Just saying, I think it's rude.
03:12I wouldn't call it rude.
03:13Rude-ish, rude-esque, whatever you want to call it.
03:15When a person makes a Destroy All Vampires date, it's simple courtesy to wait for your co-destroyers.
03:16Am I right, Giles?
03:17I'm almost certainly not, but to be fair, I wasn't listening.
03:18I don't know.
03:19I don't know.
03:20I don't know.
03:21I don't know.
03:22I don't know.
03:23The new phone book sent with Mr. Giles' ad.
03:24Oh.
03:25Oh.
03:26Just saying, I think it's rude.
03:27I wouldn't call it rude.
03:28Rude-ish, rude-esque, whatever you want to call it.
03:29When a person makes a Destroy All Vampires date, it's simple courtesy to wait for your co-destroyers.
03:42Am I right, Giles?
03:44I'm almost certainly not, but to be fair, I wasn't listening.
03:47Oh, the new phone book sent with Mr. Giles' ad.
03:51Oh.
03:52Nice.
03:53Yay!
03:54Am I mentioned?
03:55Not as such.
03:56Oh.
03:57Okay, we're supposed to hook up with Riley this morning to take on a nest of amps holed-up-in-tomb.
04:06So we get there, and guess what?
04:09Tell him, Will.
04:10Tomb-go-boom.
04:11Yep.
04:12Captain America bloated up real good.
04:14All by his lone wolf lonesome.
04:16Hmm.
04:17Rather reckless of him.
04:18I'd say very rather.
04:20All that aside, I think you'd be pleased to avoid the confrontation.
04:25That's what I've been saying.
04:26I mean, I for one didn't want to start my day with a slaughter.
04:31Which really just goes to show how much I've grown.
04:36Huh.
04:37If, um, in any event, uh, since you're all here, Tara and I could use your help researching Buffy's mysterious woman.
04:46Oh, yeah.
04:47Oh, yeah.
04:48This has been fruitful.
04:49Trying to look up something you never saw and don't know the name of.
04:54Just do what I do.
04:56Flip through the pages and we're busy.
04:58It'd be nice if we knew where she was.
05:01Where she's hiding out.
05:02No doubt lurking around some sewer or condemned church or rat infested warehouse.
05:08You know, the usual haunts.
05:11Most beauteous and supremely magnificent one.
05:15This dark spell I hold in my worthless and scabby hand is our gift to you.
05:21Most tingly and wonderful glorificus.
05:24Please, call me Glory.
05:26And get up.
05:27Looking at you is hurting my neck.
05:29Forgive me, shiny special one.
05:32I beg of you to rip out my inadequate tongue.
05:37Gimme.
05:47Oh.
05:49I thought...
05:53You should know your elaborate marvelousness.
05:57That this dark incantation has been lost for eons.
06:01Uh-huh.
06:02And great dangers have been faced to...
06:04This...
06:05This pump make my ankle look bony.
06:08No.
06:10No.
06:11No, you're terrifically smooth one.
06:14It is the epitome of ankles.
06:16To touch such an ankle would be...
06:18But I'm not touching.
06:19I'm backing away.
06:21Ow!
06:24Dreg, is it?
06:26Yes.
06:27Dreg,
06:28Your creamy coolness has honored me by speaking my name.
06:31Your voice is like a thousand sweet songbirds that...
06:34Yeah, I never tire of hearing that.
06:36Look, just so we're clear, the spell's gonna work, right?
06:40I mean, nothing worse than a gift that doesn't work.
06:43Then I'd have to get all mad and kill you.
06:47It's this whole big thing.
06:49It will work, your extremeness.
06:51Provided you have the other items you need.
06:54Don't worry.
06:58I'll have them all right.
07:07I'll have it all.
07:08I'll have to get this thing.
07:10I'll have it all right.
07:11I'll have it all.
07:12I'm real.
07:17Oh, wow.
07:22Which is...
08:23Hello?
08:32Buffy?
08:35What are you doing in here?
09:00What, me?
09:03I was, um...
09:05What are you doing here?
09:09Looking for the girl who's gonna rip your arms off when she finds out you were in her bedroom.
09:13Oh, yeah? Well...
09:14Me too.
09:22Were you...
09:23Were you just smelling her sweater?
09:25No.
09:32Well, yeah, all right, I did.
09:35Right, it's a predator thing, nothing wrong with it.
09:38Just know your enemy's scent, whet the appetite for a hunt.
09:41Huh?
09:42Mm-hmm.
09:44That's the stuff.
09:46Slayer mask is bitter and aggravated.
09:50Out.
09:57Hey, watch it!
09:59Easy.
09:59You're bruising the leather.
10:03Look.
10:03I know for a bleeding fact the Slayer wouldn't mind me being here.
10:09Right.
10:09What's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?
10:13You're good in the habit of buying her enemies drinks.
10:15Because she spent the better part of last night with me, doing just that.
10:20Because you guys are such tight pals.
10:23Yeah.
10:23That's good, yeah.
10:24Tell me another.
10:25Okay, how about this one?
10:27Twice in recent memory, she's had a lover wickers do a D invite on the house.
10:31Keep out specific vamps.
10:33Ever ask yourself why she's never taken my name off the guest list?
10:39Because you're harmless.
10:41Oh, yeah, right.
10:42It takes long to know, I suppose.
10:47At least I still got the attitude.
10:50What you got?
10:51A piercing glance?
10:53Face it, white bread.
10:54Buffy's got a type and you're not it.
10:57She likes us dangerous, rough, occasionally bumpy in the forehead region.
11:01Not that she doesn't like you.
11:04But sorry, Charlie.
11:05You're just not dark enough.
11:08Hey!
11:10Hey!
11:10Hey!
11:11Hey!
11:11Am I dark enough for you now?
11:13Buddy, pull me back in, you son!
11:15I'm starting to sizzle!
11:16You don't know anything about Buffy.
11:17You never did.
11:18I'm the one that knows what she needs.
11:20Oh, yeah?
11:20That's why you're with her at the hospital right now, giving her what she needs.
11:23What are you talking about?
11:26Don't you know?
11:26Didn't she tell you?
11:28You tell me.
11:29My mum was sickly.
11:32Buffy took her to hospital for a bit of prod and probe.
11:36Bite-sized one went, too.
11:39You know, it's funny her not calling you about that.
11:42I've known since last night.
11:44Oh, Riley.
11:57Oh, Riley.
12:12Sorry.
12:15I heard.
12:16I thought maybe you'd need...
12:20I do.
12:24I do.
12:25I'm glad.
12:27I just...
12:28I didn't...
12:30I mean, until we knew what it was...
12:32I understand.
12:34How's she doing?
12:38Well, she just had a CAT scan.
12:40I was about to go in and find out.
12:44Will you sit with Don while I talk to Mom?
12:47She's in the waiting room.
12:48Yeah, yeah.
12:49You got it.
12:49Hey.
13:05May I come in?
13:07Oh, of course, baby.
13:08Come on in.
13:10Where's Don?
13:12She's with Riley.
13:13They're watching TV in the waiting room.
13:15Excuse me.
13:16I'm just going to check on the status of the hour.
13:19The OR?
13:24Dr. Isaacs says I'm lucky there's one available on such short notice.
13:31Some people wait for days, sometimes weeks.
13:36Mom, what did they find?
13:40A shadow.
13:43I've got a shadow.
13:45Somewhere over there.
13:47He showed it to me, but they have to do a biopsy to find out exactly what it is.
14:02The doctor says it's too early to be concerned.
14:05No concern.
14:07Right?
14:11No concern.
14:12Right.
14:14Just a shadow.
14:21I just wish we knew what we were dealing with.
14:24It feels like we're going around in circles.
14:27Our circles are going around in circles.
14:29We've got dizzying circles here, Javs.
14:32Ah, weeping Buddha.
14:35Shoulders your spiritual burden.
14:37It's a lovely paperweight, too.
14:41Maybe she's not in the books.
14:44What do you mean?
14:44I mean, what if she's not a demon, or sorceress, or spirit, or whatever these books cover?
14:54What if she's something else altogether?
14:59Come again.
15:01Something new, you mean.
15:04Something old.
15:05So old, it predates the written word.
15:12Giles, the Dagon Sphere.
15:14You said that was created to repel.
15:18That which cannot be named.
15:21So, I'm thinking, maybe she...
15:25Predates language itself?
15:27Well, hey, if it means I don't have to read anymore, woo!
15:34And might I add a big hoop?
15:37If Tara's right, then we're blind.
15:39There's...
15:39There's no way we can determine...
15:43Her moves, her habits, where she'll turn up next...
15:48Oh!
15:50I beg your...
15:50Uh-huh.
15:52I want these.
15:54Yes, of course.
15:57Um, do you find everything all right?
15:59No problemo.
16:04That's, um...
16:08Your receipt.
16:13And...
16:24She could be anywhere.
16:25But if she's as powerful as Buffy says...
16:29I imagine it won't be long before she makes herself known.
16:32No problemo.
16:37All right.
16:37All right.
16:38All right.
16:39Yeah.
16:40All right.
16:41Yeah.
16:43All right.
16:44Yeah.
16:44All right.
16:45Mm-hmm.
16:45Now, come on.
16:47Yeah.
16:48Yeah.
16:49All right.
16:49Yeah.
17:20Everything went fine.
17:35They're moving her into recovery now.
17:40Do we have the results yet?
17:43Let's, um, sit down over here for a minute.
17:46No.
17:47Excuse me.
17:48No, I don't mean to be rude.
17:51It's just I've been sitting for hours.
17:53I don't want to sit.
17:55I just...
17:56Tell me, please.
18:00Your mother has...
18:02The term is low-grade glioma.
18:07It's a brain tumor.
18:09The clinical name is oligodendroglioma.
18:12It's in a cleft hemisphere of the cerebrum.
18:16In your mother's case, the tumor seems to have started.
18:20It hasn't spread.
18:22I know this is very difficult.
18:36And, uh, because of the nature of your mother's illness, unfortunately, things may progress very quickly.
18:44Things.
18:46What things?
18:48Symptoms.
18:49There's a fair variety that might present loss of vision or appetite, lack of muscle control, mood swings.
19:01Well, what can we do?
19:02Well, not much until we determine if the tumor is operable, which we are working on.
19:14Is there something that I, I mean, can I help?
19:21Well, there's some literature you might want to look at.
19:25If we aren't able to go in surgically, there are a number of new treatments that are very promising.
19:32Your mother's prognosis is a lot better today than it would have been only a year ago.
19:38Even if the tumor's not operable, she has a real chance.
19:44Was a real chance.
19:48Nearly one out of three patients with this condition does just fine.
19:54Now, let me ask, does your mother's insurance company require copies of the MRI and pathology reports?
20:03I'm not sure.
20:04Well, just let me know as soon as possible, and I could use some information regarding your mom's lifestyle and home environment.
20:13For instance, does she use a cell phone?
20:17I think so.
20:19Yeah, she, um, she has one of those ear things.
20:23Okay.
20:24Is your house near any power lines?
20:27Chemical plants?
20:29Waste disposal facilities?
20:32I don't know.
20:34Maybe.
20:36Well, the more we know...
20:40I'm sorry.
20:46Excuse me, Doc, but they told me you're needed in ICU.
20:51Excuse me, Mrs. Messon.
20:53Uh, it's... okay.
20:55I thought you looked like you needed a break.
21:04The guy's great, but he doesn't have that bone in his head that tells him when to back off.
21:09You, I mean, they didn't need him?
21:15Well, I'm sure someone does somewhere.
21:17They always do.
21:18He really is a good doctor.
21:20Your mom's in good hands.
21:24It's Ben, right?
21:26Right.
21:30He, um...
21:32He was just telling me that there's nothing I can do.
21:35And I'm gonna tell you the same thing.
21:39Give yourself a break.
21:41Listen, your mom's gonna be unconscious for at least another six, seven hours.
21:49A break?
21:50Well, I just mean go out.
21:52Get some air.
21:53Come back later on this evening.
21:55Talk to the doc then if you want.
21:57My unsolicited advice of the day.
22:12Buffy.
22:19It's bad.
22:21I know.
22:25I, uh...
22:26I have to do something.
22:29Do something?
22:31Yeah, like, you know, magic.
22:33Like a healing spell.
22:35Buffy.
22:37People get sick.
22:39I don't think magic can help.
22:40That attitude's not helping.
22:45I have to try.
22:49Okay.
22:52I need to talk to Giles.
22:53Oh, you do me a favor and drop Donna off at school and tell her I'll meet her at the magic shop when she gets home.
23:01Of course, whenever you need me to do.
23:06Buffy.
23:09What do you want me to tell Donna about your mom?
23:13Tell her we don't know anything yet.
23:23Tell her we don't know anything yet.
