Forever
Well after one of the shall we say dramatic episodes of Buffy "The Gift", comes Forever. The episode starts off with Buffy going through a funeral home, looking for a coffin for her mother. Dawn doesn't like Buffy's choice and says her mother wouldn't like it, but Buffy keeps with her descion. After the credits roll we come back to the summer's home to find Willow and Xander eating while Giles and Buffy making plans and Dawn is playing with her untouched plate of food. As Buffy and Giles talks about the funeral, Dawn intturpts talking about how she disagress and Xander tries to get her to eat some of her food. The phone rings and Giles answeres it for Buffy...hmmm who could that be? Well we learn that there is still no word from their deadbeat father. Dawn asks if she can hang out at Willow's after the funeral and Buffy agrees. Xander and Willow leave and Willow decides to go to her parents, Xander says he will to...seeing his parents are scarier than hers. Then Spike appears outside, with a boquet of flowers and says he's giving them for Joyce, and Xander argues your not gonna win her affection that way, but Spike insits it's respecting her, because he says she is the only one who treated him like a normal human being. Spike forgets it and throws the flowers down in protest and Willow relizes there is no card. Well go to the funeral and shows people who knew joyce and the whole gang, everyone leaves and Buffy stays as it gets darker and darker...and then someone shows up. It's Angel and says he wishes he could of shown up sooner, as his hand slips into Buffys. Cut to Willow and Tara's as they try to comfort Dawn. Dawn gets upsert and stuff and decides she wants to bring back her mom with a Spell, and Tara and Willow are both like no thats a big no no. Xander and Anya are showing aftr making love and talking about life and making it and such. Back at Willow and Tara's they still try to tell Dawn how bad it is to do this. Back at the cemetary, Angel holds Buffy as they sit underneath a tree talking about life and going on and everything. Angel reasures her that everything will be ok. Buffy feels guilty for not being there and Angel tells her that she is smart and she can do well and stuff. Angel says he can stay as long as she needs and she goes how about forever and says she is needy, they kiss and definatly agree that he can't stay and the two cuddle before he has to leave. Makes me wish Buffy and Angel were back together and Riley was adios. Cut to Ben in the hospital and one of the jawa rejects comes to confront Ben he acidently spills the key is a innocent. Ben goes to kill him but ummm well you'll see. In the morning at Tara and Willows the three talk when they wake up and Willow slides out a book which she shouldn't. At the shop Dawn ask Giles about Bad Mojo stuff and well Giles points it out. Giles goes off to take care of something and Dawn sneaks up stairs to get some books to help her raise her mother. Dawn goes back to her moms grave and Spike shows up and decides to help her out. The two talk about everything as they walk to somewhere. Cut to Glory and she complains about dreg not returning. Dreg ends up returning...seesh Ben if your GONNA kill someone make sure he's DEAD. Anyways he spills the info and Glory is one step closer to getting the key. Spike and Dawn come into the house and is revealed as Doc...(played by Joel Gray) basicly the point is they goto this guy with a tail to get help with the spell. He helps but I have the feeling we'll be seeing him again. They have to go get this Ghora egg to do it and after a scene as they attack this dino looking thing they eventualy get it. Tara relizes that this book is gone and Willow tries to avoid it and they eventualy call Buffy. Basicly Dawn comes back and has done the spell Buffy finds out the two ahve a rather dramatic argument and we see Joyce or a little bit of Zombie Joyce if we can say...at the last moment as Buffy thinks her mom is at the door, Joyce tears up the picture making her disapear and the two cry in each others arms.
