Some of us "old hands" were commenting on lines missing from syndicated versions of the episodes that we feel are meaningful or significant. I wanted to put these lines back in, so new fans watching the syndies would know what they were missing:

[The Scene: Willow is trying to get dressed and is distressed. This is after Xander & Anya pull up in Xander's car and before they enter the room.]

----------------

WILLOW: Okay. We can be there for Buffy. And Dawn... sob, Little Dawn.
TARA: We can be strong.
WILLOW: Strong like an Amazon?
TARA: Strong like an Amazon, right.
WILLOW: Okay. I wish I had the blue (sweater).

[In the hallway]

ANYA: So... what do we do?
XANDER: I'm not sure. We'll, uh, talk to Giles
ANYA: Xander, what will we do? What will we be expected to do?

----------------

These lines are significant because they show how the two women draw strength from each other and some of the distress that Anya later talks about concerning how confused she is about mortal death and what is expected of the survivors.
