[last lines]
Buffy Summers: [voice-over] Dawn, listen to me. Listen... I love you. I will *always* love you. But this is the work that I have to do... Tell Giles that... tell Giles I figured it out, and, and I'm okay... And give my love to my friends. You have to take care of them now. You have to take care of each other. You have to be strong. Dawn, the hardest thing in this world... is to live in it... Be brave. Live. For me.

Those details may be worth taking one star off, but not more. Season 5 has been rich and powerful, and here, with the final fight about to be fought, the finale unfolds. Our heroes are preparing. They need a plan, so they do come up with one. Only we, the audience, don't get to see the whole conversation they are having now. Some of it is left off screen so there are surprises during the fight. A smart move from the screenwriter, for sure. Our heroes are all different individuals with different characteristics or unique abilities. And they are going to work according to what they are good at, everyone doing a particular job with all of them, ultimately, working as one. They've been through a lot. Some of them may not be in their best shape. Some may be exhausted after all they've had to go through on the season. And this particular fight cannot be easy. But is anything ever really easy at all in this life?
