One crisis may be over ...

Shot of Giles walking around Willow and Tara, who are sitting on the floor across from each other in the Sanctum.

Giles: Most interesting.
Willow: Less with the interesting here. More with the--
Tara: --the ow.
Willow nods emphatically, a worried look on her face.

... but there are plenty more ready to take its place.

A huge, hulking gray demon steps out of the shadows, a cruel but highly intelligent gleam in its eye.
Demon: Slayer. I like the sound of that.
Buffy, Faith and Kennedy look up, a hint of fear in their expressions.
Buffy: Run!

Just when it looks like things are coming together ...

Cut to a shot of Xander and Tara sitting at a table in a restaurant.
Xander: I got a question for you. An' I know it's gonna sound weird, but it's important.

Shot of Willow walking through the halls of Slayer Central. Willow looks miserable.
Willow (V.O.): She's going out to look for her own apartment this afternoon. She hates me. Tara doesn't want anything to do with me.
Willow tentatively walks into a room. Kennedy is lying on the bed and looks up, surprised.
Kennedy: But what does that mean for us?
