Synopsis:
In one of the season's strongest episodes, Buffy thinks
she smells something rotten after she takes a job at a fast-food
restaurant that soon has her wondering about the "secret ingredient"
in the burgers. Hurting for cash, the Slayer takes a job at
Doublemeat Palace, where her fellow employees don't respond
well to her sense of humor. "Levity is a time thief that picks
the pocket of the company," explains one co-worker. But it's
Buffy's growing concern that something demonic might be going
on that really turns her stomach. Also, Anya's old friend
Halfrek pays an unexpected visit and questions whether Xander
is the right man for her; and Willow tries her best to stay
away from magic.
