01:21Mom?
01:22I think we're just about ready
01:51for pie. Then I'll be pretty much ready
01:53for barf. Xander!
01:55Gross. No, no.
01:57Barf from the eating.
01:59Because all was good and too much goodness.
02:01I'm taking it as a compliment.
02:03Yes, everything was delicious.
02:05Yes. I'm going to barf too.
02:08Everyone's so sweet.
02:11How you doing there, Will?
02:13Are you in the vomit club too?
02:15I had too much nog.
02:17Oh, baby, you want me to rub your tummy?
02:19She likes it when I...
02:21Stop explaining things.
02:25My nog tastes funny.
02:26I think I got one with rum in it.
02:28That's bad.
02:30Yeah, now Santa's going to pass you right by,
02:32naughty booze hound.
02:34Santa always passes me by
02:36something puts him off.
02:38Could be the big honking menorah.
02:40Oh, did you write him a letter?
02:42What'd you ask for?
02:43Um, guys? Hello?
02:45Puberty? Sort of figured out the whole
02:48no Santa thing.
02:49That's a myth.
02:51Yeah.
02:52No, I mean,
02:53it's a myth that it's a myth.
02:55There is a Santa Claus.
02:57The advantage of having a thousand-year-old girlfriend
03:00inside Scoop.
03:02There's a Santa Claus?
03:03Mm-hmm.
03:03Been around since, like, the 1500s.
03:06And he wasn't always called Santa.
03:08But, you know, Christmas night,
03:10flying reindeer,
03:11coming down the chimney.
03:12All true.
03:14All true?
03:17Well,
03:18he doesn't traditionally bring presents
03:20so much as, you know,
03:21disembowel children,
03:23but otherwise...
03:24The reindeer part was nice.
03:28Damn it.
03:29I hate this oven.
03:31I've been burnt.
03:33Oh, no, it's just blackened.
03:35You know, it's, it's Cajun pie.
03:37I open another.
03:39How do you think we dare?
03:41As long as you two stay away from the band candy,
03:43I'm cool with anything.
03:49You are a demon child.
03:51I lived tormenting you.
03:53Is that so wrong?
03:54A daughter's duty, I suppose.
03:56Look, all we have to do
03:58is just cut off the little bit of the burnt...
03:59Mom.
04:04Mom.
04:05Mom.
04:06Mom.
04:07Mom.
04:07Mom.
04:08Mom.
04:08Mom.
04:09Mom.
04:10Mom.
04:10Mom!
04:11Mom!
04:31911 emergency.
04:32Hello?
04:34It's my...
04:35My mom.
04:35No, she's, she's not breathing.
04:37Is she conscious?
04:38No, I, I, I, I can't.
04:40She, she's not breathing.
04:41Okay, I need you to give me your address.
04:44What?
04:44I'm gonna send an ambulance over.
04:46It's 16, 1630, Ravello.
04:50It's a house, Ravello, near Hadley.
04:54I'm sending the unit right away.
04:56Are you alone in the house?
04:57Yes.
04:58And did you see what happened?
05:00Did she fall?
05:01No, no, no, I, I came home and she, well, what should I do?
05:06Do you know how to administer CPR?
05:09No, I don't remember.
05:11Okay, it's very simple.
05:13You want to tilt your mother's head back.
05:16Cover her mouth with yours and breathe into her mouth.
05:20I know this.
05:22I know this.
05:24Come on.
05:24I can do this.
05:27I can do this.
05:29Okay.
05:31Okay.
05:32Give me.
05:38Four, five, six, seven, eight.
05:48Oh.
05:49Are you there? I broke something.
06:01Hello?
06:02It cracked.
06:04Is she breathing?
06:05No.
06:07Paramedics should be there in a moment.
06:09You might have cracked a rib. It's not important.
06:12She's cold.
06:15The body is cold?
06:17No, my mom.
06:19Should I make her warm?
06:22No. If she's not responding to the CPR, best thing is to wait for the paramedics, okay?
06:29When will they be here?
06:31They're very nearby.
06:32I have to make a call.
06:45I have to make a call.
06:59Hello?
07:13Hello?
07:23Giles.
07:25You have to come.
07:27Buffy?
07:28She's at the house.
07:31She's at the house.
07:31She's at the house.
07:32She's at the house.
07:32Hello?
07:32Hello?
07:33Oh, my God.
08:03She's in here.
08:33I'm getting no pulse.
08:34Let's lay her out.
08:42How long has she been like this?
08:45Uh, I found her a few minutes.
08:48Was she conscious?
08:50No.
08:51I'm bagging her.
08:53What?
08:53We're going to intubate, just trying to get her to bleed, all right?
08:56This your mother?
08:57Yes.
08:58Did she have any serious physical health problems?
09:00Any history of heart disease?
09:02No.
09:02I mean, there was a tumor, a brain tumor, but she had an operation and she's fine now.
09:11She's been fine.
09:12We got her.
09:26Oh, my God, we got her.
09:27Let's get her in the truck now.
09:29Call her in ahead.
09:30I never brought one back.
09:32Okay.
09:33I'm here.
09:33It's a miracle.
09:39That's what it is, a beautiful miracle.
09:41Good is new.
09:43Oh, Buffy, thank God you found me until...
09:45She's cold, man.
10:05Call her.
10:15I'm sorry.
10:30What do we do now?
10:32I'm sorry, but I have to tell you that your mother's dead.
10:38It looks like she did die a good while before you found her.
10:42There's nothing you could have done.
10:44What?
10:49I'm guessing it must have been an aneurysm or some clotting, some complication from surgery.
10:57She probably felt very little pain.
11:03I'm going to call it in.
11:04The coroner's office will come by and take her in, and they'll determine the cause of death conclusively.
11:10Dispatch 7, we have a 206.
11:12What's your status?
11:14We're moving.
11:14Location is Walmart 9th.
11:18Your vicar is on the street.
11:19Go now.
11:20Okay.
11:20We got to fly.
11:21All right.
11:22I'm going to call this right away.
11:24Now, the coroner's office may take a while.
11:27In the meanwhile, I think you should sit, have a glass of water, and try not to disturb the body.
11:33Do you need anything?
11:36Is there someone you can call?
11:39Someone's coming.
11:42Let's go.
11:49I'm very sorry for your loss.
11:51I'm very sorry for your loss.
12:05Good luck.
12:07Good luck.
12:26You're welcome.
12:35Oh, my God.
13:05Oh, my God.
13:35Oh, my God.
14:05Oh, my God.
14:36I'll go there.
14:37I'm not sure.
14:40No, no, don't.
14:42No, no, it's too late.
14:44Joyce?
14:45They're coming for her.
14:46No, no.
14:47Joyce.
14:48We're not supposed to move the body.
14:51Joyce, we're not supposed to move the body.
14:51Bye.
15:21I can't believe it. It's not that bad. How can you say it's not that bad? I just don't think it's
15:41that big a deal. Kevin Berman called me a freak in front of everybody. No, that's no big deal.
15:51He didn't say you were a freak. Forget it. He just said you were freaky, which, you know,
16:03freaky can be sort of cool. Yeah, real cool. I'm a suicidal head case. You know it was
16:13Kirstie. She was telling people how you were into cutting yourself and how you were-
16:17Such a lie. I got cut by accident one time. Now Kevin thinks I'm a-
16:24Well, that was when you were winging out about your family. And of course,
16:29Kirstie's gotta turn everything into a story. She was telling people that you were adopted.
16:36What a primo biatch. I swear, if I could make her head explode using only the power of my mind,
16:46That's what I'd be doing right about now. Great. Now I look like a wet rat.
16:55Yeah, you know you can't go out there looking all cry-faced. That was just to give Kirstie more ammo.
17:01You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really, really.
17:13What do you think? Can I show my face? You're good to go. We're gonna be late anyway.
17:22Kirstie alert. Hey, Don. Hey. How you doing? You okay? Good. Thanks for asking.
17:43Okay. Remember, we're not drawing the object. We're drawing the negative space around the object.
18:04We just draw this figure. Oh. Hey, Kevin.
18:10And give me a sense of the spaces around. The space in between.
18:18What's going on?
18:23Negative space.
18:26Yeah. What's that all about?
18:29Yeah.
18:33It's pretty good.
18:38Thanks.
18:40So I heard you like how to freak out and cut yourself.
18:51Uh, no. Not even. It was a whole, it was so numb.
18:57I felt like that before.
18:59Things get so crazy, you know. You just feel like you want to do something extreme.
19:08Yeah.
19:10I just, I had a lot of intense stuff going on. A lot of people don't understand it.
19:17Pain.
19:18Pain.
19:19Yeah.
19:20And then Kirstie's gotta blab at everywhere, cause she's...
19:25Kirstie, man. It's like she thinks, I'm so hot, everybody should just bow down before me. And I'm like, whatever.
19:35She's so superficial. Everything's always about clothes or who likes who and there's just way more important stuff going on.
19:46There's a lot of crucial, you know, stuff.
19:53Yeah.
19:55Well, this one time in history, um, she had this book called Annals of History and she didn't know how to say the word annals, so she kept saying...
20:05Don.
20:13I have to talk to you.
20:22Um, what?
20:27Can it wait? I'm in the middle of class.
20:30I know. Please come with me.
20:35I thought Mom was picking me up.
20:54What's going on?
20:57Something's going on.
20:59Let's go outside.
21:00No. Tell me what's going on.
21:02It's...
21:05Bad...
21:07News.
21:09Well, what is it?
21:11What happened?
21:14It's bad.
21:16Please, can we...
21:17Where's Mom?
21:18Mom had an accident.
21:19Or, um, something went wrong from the tumor.
21:33Is she okay?
21:36Is she...
21:39But she's okay.
21:41But...
21:43It's...
21:44It's serious.
21:45But, um...

33:57Sorry, sorry, some pent-up...
34:17Sandler, where did your hand go?
34:24As I was saying, some frustration, and now, uh, I appear to be stuck.
34:31My God.
34:33Is your hand okay?
34:36Pretty much.
34:38I'm really sorry.
34:42You could have hit an electrical thing.
34:47And once again with the sorry.
34:50Did it make you feel better?
34:54For a second there.
34:56A whole second.
34:58In my defense, some crappy wallmanship.
35:01Yeah, you can hear everything next door.
35:05Who did the drywall in this place?
35:08I always forget to ask.
35:10Did I miss something?
35:12Sandler decided that he blames the wall.
35:15Can you turn your wrist?
35:17Hold on.
35:25It's okay.
35:32It hurts.
35:33Here.
35:40Wash it off.
35:43Band-Aids?
35:44Underneath.
35:48I couldn't find it.
35:51It doesn't matter.
35:54We should get there.
35:56Yes.
35:56I want to be there for Buffy.
36:01You're right.
36:04The Avengers got to get with the assembly.
36:07We'll go.
36:09We'll deal.
36:11We'll help.
36:12That's what we do.
36:14We help Buffy.
36:15How are we going now?
36:20How are we going now?
36:43How are we going now?
36:45How are we going now?
37:40If there's anything we can do, I'm glad you're here.
38:10I love you so much.
38:13I know.
38:14They're not telling us anything.
38:15Dr. Sanders, 6714.
38:24Dr. Sanders, 6714.
38:28Dr. Sanders?
38:29Okay, I've examined your mother's body.
38:51Can we see her?
38:53Don't, not now.
38:55The on-site report seems more or less accurate.
39:00Your mother did have what looks like an aneurysm.
39:04A sudden hemorrhaging from a ruptured arterial vessel near the...
39:10where the tumor was removed.
39:12Shouldn't we have known about that?
39:14That was a danger?
39:16Sometimes these things are detectable, and sometimes they're not.
39:23Joyce was aware of the possibility of a rupture and the effects.
39:28She didn't even get on the phone, so clearly this was very sudden.
39:33She, uh, may have felt a little nausea and probably passed out as it happened.
39:43I doubt there was much pain, and even if someone had been by her side...
39:49My head.
39:50Mom.
39:51It's doubtful that this could have been dealt with in time.
40:02Ah, thank you, doctor.
40:05Are you sure?
40:08That there wasn't a lot of pain?
40:12Absolutely.
40:12I have to lie to make you feel better.
40:15What, uh, what, uh, needs to be done now?
40:23Well, there, uh, there will be some forms and some decisions you'll need to make.
40:29Uh, Buffy, why don't you let me handle those as much as I can?
40:33Please.
40:34We will need you to sign a couple of release forms.
40:37Yes.
40:38Thank you, doctor.
40:41I'll, uh, figure out which ones you need to see.
40:45We'll be here.
40:52What did the doctor say?
40:54Nothing.
40:56But it's, you know, it's what we thought.
40:58A tumor.
41:01Why don't we sit down?
41:11Giles, is this gonna go over the paperwork?
41:15Man, if there's one day, they should not give you homework.
41:20Donnie, do you want to sit?
41:25I don't think we're gonna have to be here very long.
41:28What about...
41:30What about what?
41:35Nothing.
41:37I have to pee.
41:38Do you want someone to go with you?
41:41No.
41:43I still remember how to pee.
41:45Do you know where it is?
41:47Yeah.
41:52I think maybe she's mad at me or something.
41:57Because you were the one that told her?
42:00How'd you take it?
42:05Meltdown.
42:05She just wouldn't believe me.
42:10I still don't think she does.
42:15I wish that Joyce didn't die.
42:22Because she was nice.
42:26And now we all hurt.
42:27Anya, ever the wordsmith.
42:41Do you want anything?
42:44Something to eat or soda?
42:46Honestly, I couldn't tell.
42:52Well, I think you should try to eat something.
42:56Yeah, maybe Don could use a snack.
43:01I'll find something.
43:02Sandra, do you have any money?
43:04We'll come with.
43:06We'll be real quick.
43:08I'm sorry.
43:23You have to go through all of this.
43:27You don't have to worry about me.
43:29Everybody wants to help.
43:38I don't even know if I'm here.
43:42I don't know what's going on.
43:49I've never done this.
43:53That's just an amazingly dumb thing to say.
43:58Obviously, I've never done this before.
44:01I have.
44:11My mother died when I was 17.
44:18I didn't know.
44:21I'm sorry.
44:23No, no.
44:24I didn't mean to.
44:27I'm only telling you this because
44:29I know it's not my place, but
44:33there's things,
44:39thoughts and reactions I had that
44:42I couldn't understand
44:46or even try to explain to anyone else.
44:53Thoughts that
44:54made me feel like I was losing it
44:57or like I was some kind of
45:00horrible person.
45:05I know it's different for you
45:07because it's always different,
45:12but if you ever need...
45:15was it sudden?
45:36What?
45:38Your mother.
45:42No.
45:42No.
45:45And yes.
45:51It's always sudden.
45:52Dr. Wilk's radiology.
45:59Dr. Wilk's radiology.
46:02Good.
46:10There's 2-18.
48:55I'm just not hungry.
51:15Don.
51:46Is she cold?
51:51It's not her.
51:54It's not her.
51:58She's gone.
52:05Where'd she go?
52:24Where'd she go?
52:54Where'd she go?
53:12Grrr.
53:13Arrgh.
