| 24. Bad Eggs Original Air Date: January 12, 1998 Written by: Marti Noxon Directed by: David Greenwalt Guest Cast: Jeremy Ratchford (Lyle Gorch) James Parks (Tector Gorch) Rick Zieff (Mr. Whitmore) Danny Strong (Jonathan) Brie McCaddin (Cute girl) Eric Whitmore (Night Watchman) Buffy runs into a cowboy vampire at the mall, they fight, but the Vampire escapes before being dusted, promising Buffy that they will finish the fight some other time! Buffy returns to her mom Joyce, who is becoming increasingly annoyed about her daughter's lack of responsibility. The next day at school in health class, the students are asked to take care of an egg as if it were a baby, to teach them how much responsibility it takes to be a parent. Giles warns Buffy about the vampire she ran into -- Lyle along with his brother Teckter, the Gorches, are cowboy vampires, Giles is not sure why they've been drawn to Sunnydale at this time. Buffy's head is not into slaying or egg-raising these days -- she's ever more into the dreamy Angel, and her nights at the cemetery have become nothing more than make-out sessions with her undead man. When Buffy returns from her non-productive investigation of the Gorches, she finds her egg baby shaking -- she's wigged. A gross scorpion-like slimy creature bursts from it and attacks her, but she manages to stab it to death. She calls Willow to let her know what's happened, but Willow says her own egg baby is fine, and there's nothing to worry about. But we see that Willow is lying, because her own egg is indeed broken apart, and she has a spaced-out look on her face. Hearing noises, Joyce enters Buffy's room and finds her fully dressed. Understandibly angry,she thinks Buffy's getting ready to sneak out and grounds her. The next day at school, Willow gathers the gang for a monster autopsy. But she and Cordelia, whose egg has also spawned a creature, wind up decking Buffy and Xander and dragging them into a broom closet. Then, Willow, Cordy and a bunch of other students and teachers head zombie-like to the basement with shovels and axes. Even Joyce winds up getting possessed, when she comes to school to fetch her grounded daughter and instead finds a spaced-out Giles, who throws one of the creatures onto her. When Buffy and Xander come to in the storage closet, they manage to escape and find a book which explains what's going on. There is a creature in the basement called a bezoar, whose offspring, once hatched, attach themselves to human hosts and take control of their motor functions. They follow a possessed student to the basement and discover Willow, Cordy, Giles, Joyce, and a bunch of others harvesting eggs from a gigantic slimy parasite. As Buffy is looking for a weapon big enough to toast this mama bezoar, the Gorch brothers show up and the younger one gets dragged into the Bezoar!. One of the bezoar's tentacles grabs Buffy and drags her under the floor, Buffy manages to grab hold of a pickaxe just before she dissapears! Suddenly all the babies fall off of their human hosts, who then fall to the ground. Somehow Buffy emerges victorious and the surviving Gorch knows he's met his match. The newly-unzombied Giles stumbles for an explanation for what's happened to everyone, and tells the student body there'd been a gas leak. Once Joyce gets her bearings, Buffy is more grounded than ever. She's not even allowed to leave her room, but that doesn't stop her from making out with Angel, who she kisses from her window as he is perched outside. Summary by:EpisodeGuides.com |
