**I don't have this on tape, hence the borrowed summary**
The body of a dead cheerleader is dug up from the cemetery, and Buffy the
Vampire Slayer is officially back in the saddle. Cordelia accidentally stumbles
upon a bunch of body parts in a dumpster, and the parts add up to three
people -- the dead cheerleader and her two friends who were killed in the
same car accident -- only some of the parts are missing.
Giles suspects
zombie activity, and clues lead to Chris -- a science whiz who's been quiet
and withdrawn since his brother Daryl's death. We discover Chris, with his
buddy Eric, has been secretly assembling a woman from these body parts for
Daryl, so he won't have to be alone through eternity. The only part they don't
have yet is a head -- the cheerleader's heads are unusable because the
formaldehyde used to preserve dead bodies causes rapid deterioration of brain
cells.
There are currently three live head donors being considered: Buffy,
Willow and Cordelia. Daryl votes for Cordelia, but Chris doesn't want to kill
anyone, and Daryl becomes enraged. Meanwhile, Giles is courting Ms.
Calendar, and their first official date is to the school's football game. That
night, Eric decides to kill Cordelia, since Chris can't bring himself to do the
deed, but Buffy arrives just in time to save her.
As Buffy struggles with Daryl,
a can of gasoline spills. A fire starts and Xander, who has arrived to help,
pushes Cordelia to safety. Chris, seeing his headless fiancee is about to
perish in the fire, throws himself on top of her and pledges his undying love.
Angel and Buffy finally talk things out -- he admits he was jealous of her
attention to Xander, and he feels left out of her life since he can only be with
her at night. They walk off together as we see Daryl's tombstone.
