Buffy and Cordelia go to a frat party only to find the fraternity sacrifices girls for power.

Tropes

An Aesop: High school girls should avoid frat parties and underage drinking.
And This Is For: Xander gets revenge on the frat boys for his earlier Humiliation Conga.

Xander: That's for the wig! (punches again) That's for the bra! That's for the makeup! (punches again, knocking him out) And that's for the last sixteen and a half years!

Annoying Laugh: Cordelia thinks this is how you attract boys.
Bollywood: Buffy, Xander and Willow watch a Bollywood movie.

Xander: Is she dying?
Buffy: I think she's singing.
Xander: To a telephone in Hindi. Now that's entertainment!
Xander: Why is she singing?
Willow: She's sad because her lover gave her twelve gold coins, but then the wizard cut open the bag of salt, and now the dancing minions have nowhere to put their big maypole... fish thing.

Butt Monkey: Xander at the frat party.
Can't Get Away with Nuthin'

Buffy: I told one lie, I had one drink.
Giles: Yes, and you were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words "let that be a lesson" are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Chained to a Rock
Dressing as the Enemy: Xander In the Hood.
Drives Like Crazy: Or in Cordelia's case, Parks Like Crazy.
Erotic Dream

Willow: You dreamed about Angel again?
Buffy: Third night in a row.
Willow: What did he do in the dream?
Buffy: Stuff...
Willow: (smiles wide) Oh! Stuff! (Buffy smiles) Was it one of those vivid dreams where you could feel his lips and smell his hair?
Buffy: It had Surroundsound.

Foreshadowing: The Belligerent Sexual Tension between Cordelia and Xander.
Freud Was Right: Frat boys feed teenage girls to their giant snake demon that they worship.
Gag Boobs / Dragged Into Drag: When the frat boys realise Xander is gatecrashing, they force him to dress up as a woman and hit him with paddles.
Head Desk: Buffy listening to Cordelia tell her what she should wear for the party.
Head-Tiltingly Kinky:

Buffy: So, how does the water buffalo fit in again?

Hey, It's That Guy!: PJ is the Victim of the Week.
- Dan worshiped a demon snake before falling in love with a witch?
Hollywood Kiss

Angel: This isn't some fairy tale. When I kiss you, you don't wake up from a deep sleep and live happily ever after.
Buffy: No. When you kiss me I want to die.

Cordelia: Buffy, these people are rich, and I am not being shallow. Think of all the poor people I could help with all my money!

Mickey Finn
Monster of the Aesop: Girls go to a wild party, get drugged and instead of getting raped are fed to a snake monster.
Monster of the Week: Machida.
Offhand Backhand: Giles is tearing strips off Buffy re neglecting her training.

Giles: Are you gonna be prepared if a demon springs up behind you and does this?
(Giles strikes at the back of Buffy's neck; she puts him in an armlock without changing her bored expression)
Giles: (in pain) Yeah, well, I'm, I'm not a demon. Which is why you should let go now.

People in Rubber Suits: The line where the Reptile Boy's suit meets his snake body is quite noticeable.
Playing Hard to Get: Angel finally invites Buffy for coffee.

Buffy: Yeah. Sometime. I'll let you know. (walks off smiling)

Puppy Dog Eyes

Giles: And don't think sitting there pouting is gonna get to me, because it won't.
(Buffy gives her best pouty look)
Giles: (looks away) It's not getting to me.

Right Behind Me: Subverted.

Xander: Angel, Angel, Angel. Does every conversation we have have to come around to that freak? (Xander notices Angel and doesn't miss a beat) Hey, man, how you doin'?

Saying Sound Effects Out Loud

Willow: Killer? Now there's a killer? We don't know that there's a--
Giles: No, but this being Sunnydale and all.
Willow: Gulp!

Secret Circle of Secrets
Security Cling: Cordelia enthusiastically thanks Buffy for saving her...then hugs Angel.
Snake People: Machida is a snake-like demon of the Reptiles Are Abhorrent variety.
Snark-to-Snark Combat: Cordelia vs. Xander.
Suspiciously Specific Denial

Richard: Have you seen our multi-media room?
Cordelia: Oh, the one with the cherry walnut paneling and the two forty-eight-inch televisions on satellite feed? No.

Super Window Jump: When the Victim of the Week does this, you can tell she's really scared.
Tiny Guy, Tall Girl: Cordelia overcompensates for her recent experience by letting Jonathan buy her coffee. Poor Jonathan...
Vanity License Plate: Cordelia's QUEEN C.
The Wallflower: Buffy at the frat party, at least in the early stages.
Woman in White: Callie
What the Hell, Hero?: Willow of all people gives one to Giles and Angel.
