(Riley tries to remove the scarf)

BUFFY: Oh, let go of me! This is ridiculous.

(Riley rip sit off, they all stare in shock.)

GILES: Why didn't you say anything?

XANDER: Cause she didn't want to worry us, right Buffster? It's nothin'. Just a scratch.

WILLOW: Two deep, puncture-y scratches.

BUFFY: I'm not sure why I tried to hide it. Uh, there was just this voice, and it was, it was telling me to cover it.

RILEY: And what did I tell you? (to the others) That's thrall.

XANDER: You're saying Dracula has some sort of freaky mind control over her? You're watching too many creature features, man.

BUFFY: But it does seem like he has this ... control over me, I ... even though a big part of me is resisting.

RILEY: No, that's okay. I shouldn't take this personally. I mean, what with Angel, I mean, it's understandable that there would be transference. I mean, they're both broody immortals.

BUFFY: (firmly) I am not transfer-y. (quieter) I swear to you. I'm your girl, and I'm gonna stay that way.

RILEY: Okay. But you are not going anywhere near him again.

GILES: Uh, Riley's right, you should - you should stay out of sight. Let the rest of us look for Dracula.

BUFFY: I can't go home. He already got inside once.

XANDER: You can come over to my place. I'll make sure you stay put.

GILES: Good. Um, Riley and I can, uh, can... search for Dracula, and Willow, you and Tara could uh, could do a protection spell on Buffy's mother's house, and prevent him from returning.

WILLOW: (nodding) Got it.
