"The return of Tara question. He [Joss] said he didn't think he'd ever talked about this publicly, but basically there was going to be an episode near the end of season 7 when Buffy somehow got a "get out of jail free card" with which she could get any single wish (presumably without the usual baggage) such as getting Angel back, etc. At the end of the episode, she would be showing Willow a new pair of shoes and talking about how she really loved those shoes and was really happy now that she had them. Willow would basically be shocked, "What? You used your wish to get a pair of shoes?" And then Buffy would say, "No! Of course not silly." And then Willow would turn around and there Tara would be. Even as I'm typing this now I'm getting a little emotional thinking about it. Even though everybody knew where the story was going pretty much from when Joss started describing the ep, there was still a tangible rise of emotion from the crowd at the end. I know I felt a lump in my throat. You could tell Joss felt very strongly too, and mentioned that not being able to work out that whole thing was one of his biggest regrets."
