At Riley's house, an incredibly dull-looking party is decidedly NOT raging. Buffy is standing with Willow, Tara, and Xander, and Riley is across the room with Forrest and Graham. As Forrest and Graham discuss Mason, the crispy critter, asking to go out on patrol, Buffy and Riley make googly eyes at each other. With his shiny dome sticking out of his high-necked turtle-neck sweater, Forrest looks like a penis. Graham attempts to speak to Riley but realizes that Riley's attention is elsewhere. Across the room, Xander is telling Tara and Willow about his ice-cream truck experience and indicates that Anya most likely won't be at the party because she was upset. What the hell was Anya upset about? She's such an albatross around Xander's neck. Xander asks, "Am I the crazy one?" and Buffy, too busy visually undressing her man-mountain, sweetly says, "Uh-huh." Willow figures out what going on, and telling Buffy that "someone" borrowed" her new peasant top and spilled something on it, she asks, "Still love me?" Buffy again says "uh-huh" and Willow smiles triumphantly. Obviously, mention of her wardrobe is more interesting to Buffy than mention of her friend's problems, and she suddenly tunes back in, asking, "What about my peasant top?" The gang affects incomprehension and explain that Xander was just talking about Anya. Xander muses that he's happy Anya no longer has her powers.
