Dead Man's Party

In which the Scoobies throw Buffy a welcome home party; Oz supplies the music, Cordy the dip, Joyce the guilt, Xander the righteous indignation, Willow the comfort, and Giles the solution to the zombies-run-amok. Oh, yeah, zombies.

Official back-of-box synopsis:

Buffy returns home, only to find that Principal Snyder won't let her back in school, Willow seems to be ignoring her, and her mother is thinking of sending her to a private girls' school. It isn't until Buffy saves them all from an invasion of zombies that things get back to 'normal'.

From the old WB Buffy website:

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD - After months of being away, Buffy finds life back in Sunnydale less than welcoming with Xander and Willow involved in their own romantic twosomes and Principal Snyder sticking to his guns about expelling her from school. Despite the awkward reunion, the gang must try to come together to face a new undead threat.
