For some reason, Xander is still lurking about in the cafeteria. Caught in Jell-O's wobbly thrall, I suppose. He sneaks up on some Jell-O, and as he's about to shove it in his mouth, he catches sight of the lunch lady. She has a huge, cartoony, yellow-and-green box labeled "Rat Poison" tipped over a stew pot. Rat poison by Blammo! Batteries not included. Xander pauses, the lunch lady continues to pour poison, and then Xander runs. Run, Xander, run! This cartoony scene has good timing and is purposefully comical, and for some reason I'm reminded of the stupid troll hammer scene in "The Gift." That was funny and cartoony, but not intentionally at all, and that's just sad. Every time I saw Buffy lift that hammer to whack Glory, I heard a old-timey car horn (AAAAHH-OO-GAH!) in my head and had the overwhelming urge to scream "ZONK!" at the TV. Xander heads out into the cafeteria and starts flipping over tables and trays; the furious lunch lady follows him, wielding a cleaver. She's about to cleave Xander a new one when Buffy appears and catches her arm. The lunch lady is of the opinion that high-school students are "vermin" and "filth." Buffy seems to think that this indicates the lunch lady is irrational, but hey, all of us over the age of twenty-one know the truth. The lunch lady and Buffy fight, and I giggle because the lunch lady's stunt double is quite obviously a man. Buffy wins the fight.
