[1][2] Tara and Dawn wake on the couch and find that neither Buffy nor Willow returned home the night before.
Amy suggests that she and Willow visit a warlock, Rack, who can give them great spells that last without any recovery time.
Amy spins about the room wildly as Willow hangs out on the ceiling, seeing spots and weird images.
Meanwhile, Willow floats in Rack's room and sees herself flying in space before a demon holding a limp body makes her scream.
Willow uses magic to take over and drive a car, but it crashes and both are wounded; with Dawn breaking her arm.
Despite Willow's sincere apology and tearful regret, Buffy tells her to stay back and Dawn slaps her away in anger.
Spike takes Dawn to the hospital and Buffy confronts a devastated and remorseful Willow who is now finally able to ask for help.
Later, Willow fights the symptoms of withdrawal in her bed while Buffy hugs a cross and surrounds her bedroom with garlic.
