BtVS S3E2 Dead Mans Party

About this episode

The episode explores interpersonal tensions among the characters as they navigate feelings of abandonment and unexpected relationships amidst a zombie-themed party.

Tensions boil over as everyone is mad at each other but also too non-confrontational to do anything about it. Buffy feels out of place, Willow feels abandoned, and Joyce has a lesbian lover. Throw in some zombies and you've got a dead man's party, who could ask for more?
