 While missing Parker, the broken-hearted Buffy goes to the college bar, where Xander is working as a bartender, and joins the group of four arrogant students, drinking beer with them to drown her woes. However, the owner of the bar used a warlock spell on the beer, transforming the drinkers into cavemen as a payback for their behaviors. The  cave men  threaten Willow, Parker and two girls, not to mention lighting the bar on fire. Meanwhile Willow struggles to understand Oz s new attraction to the mysterious Veruca, a groupie and fellow musician. I love Xander and Willows support for Buffy in this episode, with Willow facing up to Parker s womanising, and Xander with his lighter. But the the heck is wrong with Parker, he s such a misogynist, which makes Willow s stern talk all the more satisfying. My favourite part, when  cave-slayer  falls off the spinny chair. As Buffy awakes from a bad dream with the warning, "From beneath you, it devours.", Xander meets a young woman whose dog was eaten by a creature that burrowed up out of the ground. Spike offers his assistance, but the group is still uneasy about having him around. The gang soon discovers that the source of the monster is closer to them than they thought. Meanwhile, Willow has mixed emotions as she prepares to leave England and return to Sunnydale.
