Unable to deal with the pain caused by being forced to kill Angel, Buffy heads to L.A. to try and leave it all behind…Sunnydale, her friends, even her name.  There, she goes by “Anne” and works in a diner, waiting tables.  But trouble has a way of finding Buffy, and this time trouble comes in the form of Lily (who was known as Chanterelle in “Lie To Me” last season).  Lily has lost her boyfriend, Rickie, and has enlisted the help of Buffy to find him.  Meanwhile, the scoobies in Sunnydale learn that it ain’t easy to slay vampires without a slayer.  Let’s just hope Buffy can escape that creepy forced labor hell demension to get back to Sunnydale and give them all a hand once more.

Directed by: Joss Whedon
Original Air Date: 29 September 1998

Guest Stars:
Julia Lee (Lily)

Trivia:

• We learn in this episode that “Anne” is Buffy’s middle name.  The Buffy Trivia Guide mentions that there is a chain of lingerie stores in England named Ann Summers, which I thought was funny enough to mention.  =)
• According to IMDB, this is the first episode where they do the “Previously, on Buffy the Vampire Slayer” thing at the beginning.  Really?  How did I miss that?

Quotes:

Larry: “If we can focus, keep discipline, and not have quite as many mysterious deaths, Sunnydale is gonna *rule!*”

Key Events:

• Buffy returns to Sunnydale, after having been away for several months.
