Season 7, Episode 7 | Aired: 12 November 2002 | Written by: Jane Espenson & Drew Goddard | Directed by: Nick Marck
Three separate conversations, intercut. Buffy talks to Holden Webster (Jonathan M. Woodward), a newly turned vampire she went to school with, who is also a psychology student — their fight doubles as a therapy session. Willow is contacted by Tara (or the First wearing Tara). Dawn is terrorised in the Summers house by something that manifests as Joyce. All three conversations surface truths. All three are from the First. Except possibly Tara, who the show is careful about.
