Buffy and Riley are at that stage in their relationship where they can't keep their hands off each other, whilst Xander and Anya go a night without sex for the first time ever, which has Anya assuming the worst.

Unfortunately, the sexual energy created by Buffy and Riley unleashes a powerful magical force that supercharges all the students’ hormones at a frat party. The Slayerettes try to find Giles, but to their shock find him at a coffee house doing a bit of guitar playing and crooning. After they recover, they work out that to free the students at the party, they must battle with the spirits of children from the ‘50s who have return to wreak vengeance for past abuses. Two teen orphans were killed by their headmistress at their sexual peaks, and everyone now shares their burning passion. The headmistress' spirit has also returned and is punishing ‘bad behaviour’.

Review:
A lot of people are tiring of Riley's character by this point, and having an entire episode driven by his rampant shagathon with Buffy really didn't help. Aside from the trademark Buffy dialogue (a lot of it coming from Anya, who has become an invaluable member of the team), there's very little to recommend about this episode. Oh, Giles' rendition of The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" is good too.

Best line: Anya: "I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis, and now I don't even have that!"

Trivia: Graham got a "D" in Covert Operations. Tsk.

Pop culture reference by Xander: "There's ghosts, and shaking, and people are going all Felicity with their hair." This refers to the TV show Felicity, which starred Keri Russell and was shown immediately after season three of Buffy. Russell had beautifully long, thick, curly hair and rather abruptly chopped most of it off - the ratings plummeted.
