(Joyce's bedroom. Buffy enters to find her mother packing a suitcase.)

BUFFY: Hey, I put together that grocery list for you.

JOYCE: Oh, great. Thanks, hon.

BUFFY: Are you okay?

JOYCE: I'm fine. Have you seen my conditioner?

BUFFY: Did you look under the sink?

(Joyce realizes that's where it is and goes to retrieve it.)

BUFFY: Where are you going?

JOYCE: Oh, I was hoping to put this off but... you know the nothing that I've been dealing with the last couple of weeks? It might not be nothing.

BUFFY: What is it?

JOYCE: I'm staying overnight at the hospital for observation. I'm getting a CAT scan.

(Buffy doesn't know what to say. Joyce is quick to reassure her.)

JOYCE: It's only one night and they say even if there is something, it's still very early if they didn't see it before. I'm going to be fine.

BUFFY: I know you will.
