Line 4:
The Scoobies throw a welcome home party for Buffy that doesn't make her feel welcome. A tribal mask Joyce took from the museum summons zombies.
 
* [[AllAny IsTorment WellYou ThatCan EndsWalk WellAway From]]: After the conveniently-timed attack of the zombies, the Scooby Gang put aside their conflict without really addressing the issues that tore them apart earlier. This has major consequences down the road {{spoiler|when Angel returns and her rift with the Scoobies means Buffy is reluctant to tell them about it.}}
* [[Alone in a Crowd]]: Buffy at her own Welcome Home party.
* [[Asshole Victim]]: More "Annoying Victim" with Joyce's Book Club friend Pat and [[The Stoner]] who answers the phone.
Line 62:
{{quote|'''Xander:''' You can't just bury stuff, Buffy. It'll come right back up to get you.
''[[Description Cut]] to Giles fighting a zombie.'' }}
* [[Wild Teen Party]]: The party was originally, as Giles planned it, just going to be a quiet affair to welcome Buffy home (which Buffy would have preferred) but her friends overrule him and turn it in to one of these; ostensibly because they think it's going to be more fun, but actually because there's all sorts of tensions surrounding why Buffy left which, now she's back, they're all avoiding dealing with — having the huge party is just an excuse to avoid her as much as possible while 'welcoming' her back. Needless to say, it gets ugly even before the zombies show up.
* [[Zombie Infectee]]: Pat is already dead when she gets hauled into the bedroom the Scoobies are holed up in. Then she becomes [[Not Quite Dead]].
