Later, the gang is throwing an impromptu engagement party at the Summers's house. Buffy apologizes for the lack of preparation, and Tara promises that for the next party, they'll have decorations. Shrugging, "Why wait?" Willow casts a spell that festoons the room with crepe paper and glowing orange lanterns. Tara and Giles share a concerned look. Later, Willow fills a chip bowl in the kitchen while Tara protests that they could have just bought decorations at the grocery store. "Why use magic when you can do something naturally?" Willow doesn't get it -- she uses magic to fight monsters, so why not use it for other things? Tara tries to explain her concerns, but Willow accuses her of "always coming down" on her for using magic that "couldn't harm a fly." Not a fly, maybe, but I'll bet Giles didn't enjoy being blind that one time. They continue to bicker, but are interrupted by Dawn. In the living room, Buffy gives Xander a super-strong hug and expresses amazement at his wedding plans. Blah blah blah Dawn wants a tattoo. Nobody cares. I actually liked the Dawn character last season. What happened? Then Dawn's all like, See ya! and Buffy's all like, What? and Dawn explains that she's sleeping over at Janice's. She is apparently going there without a jacket or an overnight bag, which perhaps should set off alarm bells in the Buffster. Buffy can't decide if she should let Dawn go, in light of the engagement party, and tries to defer to Giles, who defers back.
