Buffy is sitting on a tombstone playing with a yo-yo waiting for Stephan to rise because she has a ton of trig homework to do. * Angel unintentionally sneaks up on Buffy. He heard that she was out on the hunt. * Brief discussion about what it’s like first waking up as a vampire. Talks about it being a little disorienting. Buffy says it is hard to picture Angel going through that. * Angel seems a little surprised that Buffy is alone. He mentions that he thought Xander would be there with her. * Buffy asks if he is jealous. Angel tries to blow it off calling Xander a kid but obviously there is a little bit of jealousy there. * Her comment about Angel being jealous turns the conversation into a fight. * Angel says he isn’t jealous, Buffy questions whether vampires get jealous and Angel gets frustrated that with Buffy everything always boils down to him being a vampire. * As they argue about all of this, the vampire Stephan rises from his grave. * Ms. Summers goes after him and falls into an open grave. * But it wasn’t another vampire rising from the grave. Based on the evidence at the scene, someone was drug from his or her grave. * In the library the next day. * When Buffy tells Giles it wasn’t a vampire that someone dug up the grave and removed the body, Giles gets slightly excited. “Grave-robbing, that’s new, interesting.” * Xander asks the obvious question, “Why does someone want to dig up graves?” * The body belonged to Meredith Todd, she was Buffy and Xander’s age, she doesn’t ring a bell with them. * So at the Science Fair… * Eric and Chris are milling around. Eric is being a creepy stalker taking pictures of all the pretty girls he sees. * Chris and Willow are apparently friends and Chris is apparently pretty intelligent. He always places first in the Science Fair with Willow coming in second. * Eric continues to take pictures of Cordelia and Buffy, which is very irritating to Cordelia because she is in fluorescent lighting. * Buffy has come to get Willow to help the researching of who Meredith Todd is/was. * Creepy Eric turns to Chris after Cordelia leaves and says Cordelia would be just perfect for us, Eric says don’t be an idiot, she’s still alive. * Back in the library Willow doesn’t have much trouble tracking down who Meredith Todd was. * Turns out that Meredith Todd went to a different high school, which would explain why the group didn’t recognize the name. * Cordelia meanwhile needs Willow’s help with her science fair project. She can’t ask Chris because it brings up painful memories of Daryl. * So based on the MO of grave-robbing the group explores the possibility that a voodoo practitioner might be creating a zombie, or zombies. The group is going to investigate whether or not the other girls killed in the same car crash have been dug up. * In the next scene, while Xander and Giles are digging up graves, Buffy and Willow are having girl-talk. * Buffy is talking about how Angel wouldn’t admit to being jealous even though he was acting jealous.
