Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPat mentions to Buffy that Joyce read "The Deep End of the Ocean" while Buffy was gone. It is a 1996 novel by Jacquelyn Mitchard about a suburban middle-class family much like Buffy's that is torn apart when the youngest son disappears, only to reappear at the front doorstep years later.
- GoofsAs Buffy is walking home, she is clearly wearing platforms, but later when she goes down to get dinner plates, she is wearing high heels.
- Quotes
Rupert Giles: [to himself] Unbelievable. "Do you like my mask? Isn't it pretty? It raises the dead." Americans.
- Alternate versionsFor the UK video release, 2 scenes were required to be cut. The first, was a car hot-wiring scene by Giles. The BBFC were concerned it was an "imitable technique", so it was cut. The second, was a neck snapping (strangely called a headbutt by the BBFC) near the end of the episode. This was required to keep a 12 certificate.

Featured review
Quite a Party
First of all, is there any fallout over more dead kids, a dead neighbor, and the destruction of a house. I wonder if their homeowners insurance covers a zombie attack. I don't know if I buy this episode. They all know Buffy but treat her like dirt. After all the previous incidents wouldn't it be natural to trust her. She faces danger every day. There was a warrant out for her on a murder charge, her mother had rejected her, and she had been through the most vicious of events. Anyway, the whole zombie thing is really tiresome. It's interesting that they can barely walk, but they have the energy to go through a window and chase people around. But I guess the bucolic last scene with Willow is enough. It will be interesting to see how the principal comes out of this.
