At the end of The Gift, things are looking rough for Buffy. How would you have written her out of that situation?

How would I write myself out of that situation? I�ve got to tell you I would do it exactly the same way that Joss is doing it.

When I first heard that that was going to be the end of the season I thought "How can you possibly go on without making it cheesy, and a Dallas kind of thing where it was all a dream?".

Then Joss kept saying "Oh, she�s dead, she�s dead, she�s dead, she�s rotting in her grave". He said this on the Internet, and sure enough she�s dead and she�s rotting in her grave - and how he brings her back is perfect. It�s not easy, it�s never easy coming back, it�s hard to go home and it will be very much so for Buffy.
