Dead Man's Party

The episode picks up withen a few hrs of where last weeks episode
ended.  Buffy's mom is acting strange towards Buffy.  Buffy goes out to
lok for Xander and Willow and as she is walking she hears a noise, she
sees a man and follows him but she steps on a pop can and the man whirls
around pointing a stake at her.  We see that it is Xander.  Then an
actual vampire leaps out at them and they try to fight it off.  Cordy
and Oz and Willow appear and try to help.  Buffy kills the vamp and
greets her friends.  They take her to see Giles who welcomes her back
but Buffy notices that her friends are acting different towards her.
Her mother takes Buffy to meet with Principal Snyder to try to get Buffy
back into school but Snyder says no.  Buffys mom then says she invited
giles and the rest of the scooby gang for dinner.  Buffy goes down to
get the good plates and a dad cat falls off of the shelf.  Buffy and her
mom bury the cat and go to bed.  That night a mask Buffys mom has in her
room starts to glow and the cat they buiried rises up from the dead.
The next morning the cat rushes in their house and Giles comes and takes
it to the library to study it.  Meanwhile Willow and Oz and Xander and
Cordy decide to turn the dinner into a party.
At the party Buffy worries more about her friends behavior but when she
asks willow about ti willow brushes it off.  Buffy then overhears her
mom talking about how things are worse since she got back and she races
upstairs palnning on running away again.  Willow sees her and they start
arguing and then Buffys mom gets into it. They go downstairs and it
turns into a big fight.
Meanwhile Giles has discovered that the mask in Buffys moms room rises
the dead and he races to buffys to tell them but he encounters Zombies
along the way.
Back at Buffys the fight cntinues until zombies burst in and they have
to fight them off.  Giles comes and he says if one of the zombies puts
on the mask they will become the zombie demon.  Well one does and Buffy
has to hurt it through the eyes since that is where the power comes
from.  She defeats the zombie and she and the scooby gang sort of make
up.  The episode ends with Willow and Buffy talking in a coffee shop.
