day, Anya has coffee with Halfrek and the two demons talk about Anya's attempts at vengeance. Halfrek reminds Anya that she cannot grant her own wishes and must get someone else to wish Xander harm. At the Summers house, Buffy makes pancakes for Dawn. Dawn realizes she is trying too hard to make up for what happened when she was crazy, and eventually Buffy catches on to that reality as well. Dawn proposes the idea of joining Buffy on patrol so the two can spend some time together, but Buffy is not interested. On their coffee date, Willow fills Tara in on all of the supernatural activities that Tara has missed over the past months.

Spike reiterates how he despises Xander, but Anya cannot get him to make a wish. Spike also tells Anya that he likes her forthrightness. At Buffy's house, Willow uses her computer
