In dieser Folge geht es hauptsächlich um Dawn. Buffys Schwester!!! (später wird sich noch heraus stellen warum Dawn noch NIE erwähnt wurde) Dawn fühlt sich von aller Welt missverstanden, was sie in ihr Tagebuch schreibt. Typisch Teenager! Während der ganzen Geschichte erzählt Dawn von sich und ihrem Leben. Ein paar süße Momente sind allerdings für die Willow-Tara-Fans dabei. Übrigens, Harmony hat sich ne Vampir-Gang gegründet (mit lauter Idioten) und will Buffy umbringen.

Giles, Buffy und Dawn machen eine Spritztour, unter anderem um für Dawn noch Schulsachen einzukaufen und treffen dabei auf Will und Tara.

Dawn: Hey, there's Willow and Tara!
Giles: Oh, they haven't seen my new car.
Willow: Wow. Sharp wheels, Giles.
Tara: The rest of the car's nice, too.
Giles: Thank you. Handles like a dream.
Buffy: Where you two headed?
Willow: Magic shop. Had some charms on back order.

Dawn: Willow, hi!
Willow: Hey, Miss Dawny. How's my favorite chess partner? Still leading with your knight?

Dawn: (diary) Voice over... Willow's the awesomest person. She's the only one I know who likes school as much as me. Even her friends are cool. Like Tara.
Tara: Hey, Dawn.

Dawn: Writing in her journal...She and Willow are both witches. They do spells and stuff which is so much cooler than slaying. I told mom one time I wish they'd teach me some of the things they do together, and she got really quiet and made me go upstairs.(Anmerk: Was glaubts Joyce wohl, was Dawn lernen will!!!!) I guess her generation isn't cool with witchcraft.

Tara ist sich nicht sicher ob sie zu den Scoobies gehört. Willow versucht sie zu beruhigen.

Tara: Poor Dawn...She was pretty shaken up.
Willow: Well, sure. Bloody death and stuff. She'll be okay...What?
Tara: It's just... I think... It's tough for her. Not being able to...allowed to... you know, help.
Willow: Help?
Tara: Out. You. You guys. The slayer circle.
Willow: Oh, well, Buffy really doesn't-- And I think Dawn's a little young to--
Tara: I know. You're right. It's just hard. The outsider feeling.
Willow: Tara. You're not an outsider.
Tara: Well, yah. Kinda am.
Willow: No. No, you're not.
Tara: Willow, it's okay. We're talking about Dawn--
Willow: Is someone making you feel uncomfortable? Is it Xander? It's Xander, isn't it?
Tara: Xander's a sweetie.
Willow: It's Giles. It's 'cause he's British and doesn't understand about stuff.
Tara: It's no one. You guys all just have this really tight bond. It's hard to break into that. I'm not even sure I want to.
Willow: I'm sure. You're completely one of the gang now. Everyone accepts that. You're one of the good guys. Maybe I can talk to the others and we can do something. You know, a kind of scoobie initiation--Oo, maybe we can all wear some special ring that identifies us as members--
Tara: I don't think so. But maybe something like that would be nice for Dawn. I do worry about her sometimes.
Willow: You don't have to. She's got big sister Buffy happily looking out for her.
