How have I not reviewed this already? I clearly didn't remember it enough to write a review, so I just rated it, but now that I have rewatched this episode, I am so happy to be able to write this review. I absolutely love this episode. Another reason why I'm so surprised I hadn't done it already.

In this episode, Cordelia wants to go to a Fraternity party so she can try, and lock-down a man. But one of the guys was impressed with Buffy, so she reluctantly asks her to come to the party with her. Meanwhile, the gang discover that girls have gone missing, on this day, every few years. Xander goes to the Frat-house because it's near where one of the girls went missing. It turns out that the Fraternity have been sacrificing women to a "giant snake" demon for decades, in return for wealth, and power. Ugh. How pathetic is that? Anyway, Buffy, and Cordelia end up being almost sacrificed, but Buffy being Buffy, kills the demon, and all the boys, and their relatives who were also frat brothers, end up going to jail.

Fun fact: Cordelia tells Buffy not to wear black, as it's one of signature things, but at the party, Buffy wears a black dress.

Fun fact: During the "giant snake" scene, Buffy is seen wearing flats. When she walks up the stairs a moment later, she's wearing chunky heals. I assume this was because most actresses wear flats during their fight scenes, and are usually not seen.

Fun fact: Greg Vaughan's name is spelt wrong in the opening titles.

Best part of this episode: Everything.

Worst part of this episode: The horrible frat-boys being mean to Xander.

Overall, I give this episode a 9 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Amazing.
