Meanwhile, the geek squad is using the crystal they stole for a laser gun. Warren makes a chair invisible and Jonathon sits in it. Warren makes the chair visible again.

Back at the house, Buffy is in the kitchen and Willow is making breakfast. Dawn comes down and is giving Buffy attitude, though Willow deserves it. Buffy tells Willow Dawn is mad because Buffy let bad things happen to her. Then Spike enters the house. He starts coming onto Buffy and she tells him to stop. Xander walks in and Buffy leaves Spike in the kitchen alone. A social worker shows up at the door, and thinks Spike, who is in the living room, is Buffy's boyfriend and thinks he sleeps there because he has his blanket (it keeps him from bursting into flames in sunlight). She hears Willow and thinks that Buffy is living with another woman. She also looks in the box of stuff they are throwing away, and mistakes magic weed for illegal weed. As Buffy stumbles to explain everything the social worker is misinterpreting, the social worker says that she doesn't believe that Dawn is in a stable environment and will recommend probation. She adds that if things don't improve, she will strip Buffy of her sister's guardianship.

Spike walks in from the kitchen to get his lighter from Buffy and leaves. Buffy goes up to her room and starts cutting her hair. Then she goes to hair salon to look different.

The geek squad is up to something and they see the slayer. The geeks are fighting over the gun and end up turning several things on the street invisible, including Buffy. At the magic shop, Xander and Anya are making seating arrangements for their wedding. The door opens and closes. Xander hears Buffy but can't see her. Buffy tells them she is invisible girl. Buffy is walking around with eyeballs and skeleton heads so they can see where she is. Xander is trying to figure out what happened to her when Buffy takes off.

Willow is at the house, and trying not to use magic. Xander shows up and thinks Willow made Buffy invisible, but Willow knows nothing about it. Willow is offended and takes off too. The geek squad is freaking out about what they did. Buffy is at the park and takes a hat off a girl, claiming she is a fashion ghost and the girl will thank her later for getting rid of her ugly hat. She also hops in a citation vehicle and speeds off. She decides to play games with the social worker. As the social worker is trying to explain her odd behaviour to her boss, he suggests she take the day off.

Xander finds Willow where Buffy disappeared. Willow explains that other things were turned invisible, and finds tire marks. Xander walks into invisible fire hydrant and Willow uses spray paint to find pylon (orange traffic cone). Willow will find the van that has been stalking Buffy.

Buffy sneaks into Spike's crypt and she rips his shirt apart and then.... Anya and Xander are researching and touch the pylon. It feels like pudding. Xander assumes the same thing will happen to Buffy if they don't reverse what happened to her. The geek squad realizes they will end up killing the slayer, and they decide to get the ray gun working to turn Buffy back. Xander walks into Spikes crypt, and Spike is in bed, pretending to exercise. Xander leaves and Spike and Buffy get into an argument. He tells her that if he can't have all of her, he didn't want any of her.

Willow is at DMV looking up stuff and almost uses magic. Buffy is walking down the street, and kicking a coke can, venting. She goes in the house, and is getting pizza when Dawn sneaks in. Buffy starts telling Dawn she is invisible, and Dawn freaks out. Buffy check messages, and Xander left one telling her she will dissolve if they don't fix her.

Meanwhile, Willow is walking up to a house with a black van, and goes into the basement. She sees the plan for their invisible ray gun. The geeks squads grab her and they are invisible. She is their hostage.

Buffy is leaving when the phone rings. She answers it. Its one of the geeks telling her they have Willow and to meet them. Buffy goes into arcade and sees Willow. Willow tells them that there are three of them and they move into more secluded area. Willow also informs her these are her van guys. They aim the gun at her, then Willow tells her that they have the gun at the wrong setting...one of the geeks knocks Willow out. These four invisible people start fighting and the arcade clears out. Willow grabs the gun as Buffy is still kicking their ass. She aims the gun and starts shooting. Buffy recognizes Warren and Jonathon. Buffy meets Andrew, who summoned monkeys that attacked the high school in the old days. They declare they are Buffy's arch nemesis. Jonathon throws a flare and they try to run out of a locked door. As a security guard approaches them, they finally open the door and run through it. Willow and Buffy sit outside on the curb talking. Willow admits that is was a struggle for her not to do magic and likes Buffy's new hairdo. Buffy admits that she liked her freedom and was scared when she knew she was fading away. She confesses that she doesn't want to die.
