A girl named Callie Megan Anderson was running for her life, away from a Frat house, and some hooded figures. They finally caught upto her and locked her back up in the basement. That night Xander, Buffy, and Willow were watching a movie at Buffy's house, because they were all broke and had no money to go to the Bronze. The next day, Cordelia was practicing how to laugh, "Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha." and Buffy explaining her dreams about Angel; to Willow. After that, Giles gave Buffy another speech about how she has a duty, a purpose, yada, yada, yada. Buffy then meets two hotties, who are frat boys, Richard and Tom. They invited Buffy and Cordy to a "special" frat party. When she was patrolling she ran into Angel and had a little argument; again. And she found a bracelet that belonged to Callie, that had the letters 'E-N-T' on it. Buffy didn't know what to make of this so she gave it to Giles, and Willow to research it more throughly. At lunch, Cordy was preparing Buffy, and giving her the 'Do's' and 'Don'ts' for the Frat Party. That night, In the basement of the Frat house, there was some kind of a ritual going on for a monster called Machida. Who is a green, half-snake, half-man monster. Buffy and Cordy finally arrived at the party and were offered a drink each. Cordy left with Richard, and Buffy was all alone, not having much fun, feeling lonely, and guilty because she lied to Giles. Meanwhile, Xander crashed the party to keep an eye on Buffy. Some guys found out, and they dressed Xander up in a bra, short skirt, a blonde wig, and lotsa, lotsa make-up! When Buffy and Tom were dancing it looked like she was finally cheering up, and having a good time. After that, she went outside to get some fresh air and stepped on a shard of glass, she looked up and saw a broken window. Tom and Richard came outside and gave her a drink which was drugged, she took it, and drank it all. A weary Buffy went upstairs, and passed out on the bed. Cordelia's drink was drugged too, because she was on the floor right beside the bed Buffy was on. They finally came to, only to find themselves chained up, and surrounded by a bunch of hooded figures. There was also another girl chained up with them, which was Callie. Back at the library, Willow and Giles were doing some research about the bracelet Buffy had found in the graveyard. Willow remembers where she saw the bracelet from, it was a school called 'Kent'. Willow got onto the net, and pulled up Kent's newsletter on the computer. And on the front page there was an article about a missing girl named Callie Megan Anderson. Giles then tells Willow to phone Angel because they needed all the help they could get. Angel came, and Willow was forced to tell them where Buffy and Cordy went. She told them that Buffy was at the Frat party. Then she went off on Angel, about how he never asks out Buffy. Willow then went off on Giles about how he always puts a lot of pressure on Buffy, and how he never lets her have any fun, or a life. Then she goes off on Angel again. They decided to go to the Frat House to make sure that Buffy, and Cordy were alright. They were outside the Frat house, and Xander snuck up behind them in a hooded cloak, and scared them. They broke into the house and started to kick some 'Machida loving, snobby, rich, Frat boy ass' They made there way to the basement, only to find some big half snake/half human dude about ready to devour Callie, Buffy, and Cordy. Buffy broke loose and killed Machida, and kicked Tom's ass. After that, Buffy and Giles were talking, and Giles realized that he needs to lighten up on Buffy. The next night at the Bronze, Angel asked Buffy out for some "coffee", she said some other time, and started to walk out the door, leaving Angel and Xander with a slightly, amazed, facial expression. Tinged with respect.
Review:
All in all, this episode was pretty good. It had a lot of funny moments, and some hilarious quotes too! One part that was really funny, is when Cordy was preparing Buffy for the party, and telling her what to do, and what not to do. Quite enjoyable that scene was.

My Two Cents:
Just how old is Machida? And how did he provide the rich, with prestige, wealth, and sucess?
