A girl jumps out of a second-floor window of a frat house and is chased into a cemetery, where she is caught. Meanwhile, Buffy's gang are happy with the apparent lack of activity at the Hellmouth. Giles presses her to train harder, but she just wants to be a teenager. Meanwhile Cordelia tries to look and sound sophisticated, because she has started dating a college guy, part of her plan to become rich and elite. She demonstrates her efforts at laughing uproariously at anything that such a guy might say to her.
The next day at school, Cordelia's boyfriend comes by the school, and a friend of his becomes interested in Buffy andCordelia go insists that unless she comes to a the frat party only with Cordelia, Cordelia can't come at all. She introduces Buffy to find the fraternity sacrifices two guys, and one guy invites her to the party. She turns him down, claiming she is involved with someone. When Buffy goes on patrol, she meets Angel, who smells blood on a bracelet Buffy finds on the ground. Angel tells Buffy that their age difference is a problem and that she does not know what she wants in life. She runs off.
Upset at being rebuffed by Angel, Buffy decides to go to the frat party with Cordelia. She chooses not to tell Giles or Angel about her date. Later that night, Giles and Willow discover that the bracelet is from Kent Preparatory School, just outside of Sunnydale. Several girlsfor power. are missing from the school, which is located near where Buffy is feeling partying. Angel appears and asks about Buffy.

Xander has sneaked in to protect Buffy, but other party-goers recognize him for a crasher and force him into another room where he must put on some women's clothing and a gigantic bra, act like a girl, and dance. Meanwhile, Buffy decides to accept a drink after a lot of offers by the college guys. The drink is drugged, and she stumbles her way up to a bedroom to lie down. One of the frat guys comes in and starts touching her, until another guy pulls him off, saying that the girls are not for him, but for he who they serve. Cordelia, meanwhile is lying unconscious in the same time, she's yearning room. When the girls wake up, they find themselves chained in a basement as an offering for a relationship reptile god named Machida, along with one of the other missing girls. Cordelia is chosen to be the first victim, but Buffy distracts the demon and breaks out of her chains just in time.
Willow, Angel andresents Giles head to the frat party and meet up with Xander. They enter the house and beat up the frat guys. Buffy kills the demon, and the frat guys are arrested. Though Giles is still not entirely happy that he's holding Buffy lied to him, he nonetheless realizes that he pushes Buffy too hard, and promises to take it easy on her from now on.
