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.
