Riley is in danger and we definitely care. Spike is trying to get his chip out again. Dawn continues to confusingly exist. Special musical guest: Zulu!
As Graham attempts to escape that paper bag through acting (spoilers: he can't do it), Riley's clock is ticking with an unseen danger. Xander and Anya have a very weird exchange that has no place in this episode. Joyce also experiences a story line for the first time in years.
