The Story:
- - We're Talking About Raising The Dead - -
We rejoin the Scoobys a few months after Buffy's death. With the help of a fixed Buffybot the gang goes throught the motions of life and slaying, but things are not the same. Secretly Willow, Tara, Anya, and Xander plan a dangerous resurrection spell to bring Buffy back. Meanwhile feeling less than useful Giles heads back to England. Upon finding out the Slayer is really a robot, a pack of motorcycle demons decide to make Sunnydale their new home. Believing they failed, since the newly arrived motorcycle demons prevented them from finishing their spell, Tara, Anya, Willow, and Xander run for their lives as a resurrected Buffy awakens, six feet under ground, in her coffin.
