ONCE MORE, WITH FEELING
And as it fades out we tilt down to see an old fashioned alarm clock ringing, shaking about. (Probably the only noise we'll hear.) It's set for 7:00. Widen to see

INT. BUFFY'S BEDROOM - MORNING
Buffy. Lying in bed, just looking at the clock. She takes it, looks at it -- never bothering to turn it off.

INT. UPSTAIRS SUMMERS HOUSE - MORNING
We Brumman about the upstairs as the girls go about their morning routine. Start on the hall as Buffy comes slowly out of her room, headed for the bathroom -- but Dawn races in before her, slamming the door. Buffy just stands there -- as Willow, already dressed, comes briskly from downstairs to grab some books from the bedroom. We see Tara in there, making the bed -- Willow kisses her on the cheek as she exits.

Tara moves her pillow to find a small weed-like flower under her pillow. She looks at it, puzzled, then smells it and smiles, interpreting it as a romantic gesture. She is twirling it in her fingers as she enters the bathroom, opening the door to find Dawn just finishing brushing her teeth. Tara moves to leave but Dawn indicates come in, she's just leaving, she races out, Buffy still waiting in the hall - and Tara shuts the bathroom door in Buffy's face, never even seeing her. A beat, and Buffy turns and goes back into her room, crawls back into bed.


Sometimes slight differences make a big change

Which brings us to this week’s poll –

Yes – when ya gotta go, ya gotta go (could have still gone and left the door open though).
No – It’s well documented that Tara opens doors (No confirmation on a barn birth).

---

Yes.

Normally if she is conscious of someone being there, no but a full house in the morning with one bathroom, you do what you have to and sometimes that leads to tunnel vision while your bladder threatens Tena lady usage if it doesn’t get drained immediately.

The way this opening is written its very much everyone having their own swing of things and Buffy just doesn’t fit. In this instance Tara doesn’t notice, she’s sniffing weird bed plants, she walks in on Dawn. She aint with it yet. Buffy's face is unintentional collateral damage.

I’d find it weirder if she didn’t close the door on Buffy, depending on the requirement for entering the room.
