Synopsis:
Picking the worst possible night for a surprise "mother-daughter
bonding" visit with Buffy, Joyce is haunted by the discovery
of two murdered children and feels compelled to take drastic
action. When Giles suggests that the killings appear to be an
occult sacrifice, Joyce rallies the entire adult population
of Sunnydale behind a Salem-like witch hunt, leading the murderous
mob directly to Willow and Buffy.
