Buffy helps him realize that all the time he's spent with Snuffy had meant less time with her, not unlike when she didn't have as much time with Big Bird back when she first brought Cody to Sesame Street. The two enjoy some free time together looking around in the garden, and Buffy gives him a hibiscus flower to wear in his crown of feathers.
