After a surprised Buffy leaves, Giles lights up a cigarette and Joyce pulls out a bottle of kahlua. Kahlúa is a well known Mexican Coffee -flavored Liqueur.

Giles, now "Ripper," offers to take Joyce out for some fun while Buffy frightens Willow with her driving. At the Bronze, Buffy and Willow discover a place packed with adults who are acting like teenagers, including Principal Snyder, Mrs. Bartrum and Willow's shirtless, stage-diving doctor.

Mr. Trick checks up on Ethan Rayne and the production of the chocolate bars, then leaves to perform the "tribute. "
Meanwhile, Joyce notices a coat in a shop window, which Ripper destroys to steal the coat. The ensuing alarm attracts a cop, who Giles beats unconscious. He and Joyce start making out on the hood of the police car.
