Anne

In which Buffy runs away to LA and ends up in Hell, Joyce and Giles brood and blame, and Xander, Cordy, Willow, and Oz become Brave Vampire Hunters.

Official back-of-box synopsis:

Still not knowing where Buffy is, the rest of the gang returns to school. When Buffy, who is living under an assumed identity, is recognised in a diner, she begins her fight to return home from the netherworld she has fallen into.

From the old WB Buffy website:

WHERE NOBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME - Trying to escape who she is, Buffy finds herself in a city far from home where she is forced to once again face her destiny to battle a demonic force threatening inner-city kids living on the streets. Back in Sunnydale at the onset of senior year, Willow, Xander, Cordelia and Oz try to keep the vampire population in check without getting themselves killed, while Giles searches for leads on Buffy's whereabouts. Joss Whedon wrote and directed the episode.
