Pan across the table of books at the Magic Box. Xander helps Anya over to a seat while Anya explains that Willow was already there. Anya's pants look like they were fashioned out of some 1950s doilies. And Anya -- about that Peter Pan collar? My mom used to dress me like that. Your mom's been dead for over a thousand years. What's your excuse? Xander begins to explain about Tara, but it's old news for Anya. Xander wants to know if there's a locator spell that she could help with, but Anya reveals that she doesn't need a spell, since Willow's pain is enough for her to feel the witch. Xander is confused, thinking that this is a vestige of her demon days, but Anya tells him that it's "not left over." Xander shakes his head and asks, "When?" "When do you think?" snits Anya. Their burgeoning quarrel is interrupted by Buffy's entrance. Xander quickly brings her up to speed on Anya's status and then snidely wonders why Anya isn't with Willow, making with the vengeance, since she's on the clock. Anya primly explains that Willow doesn't want her. Buffy correctly concludes that Willow is more into a hands-on approach, then declares all no-nonsense that they're short on time and asks Anya which "side" she's on. Anya stands and declares, "I'll help. But I'm helping Willow. She's close to him. He's in the woods." Anya looks really pretty in this scene. From the neck up, that is.
