Complete story — includes the ending

Buffy struggles to manage her time between her friends, Giles, Joyce, and Angel, eventually caught by Joyce and Giles in a lie about her evening. Snyder tasks Buffy with selling chocolate bars to raise money for the band. The chocolate proves extremely addictive, and causes the adults to act increasingly immaturely. Buffy and Willow find The Bronze packed with adults partying. Buffy, realizing that the chocolate is responsible, decides to visit the factory. On her way there, she finds Giles and Joyce kissing in the street. Buffy breaks into the factory, finding it empty apart from Ethan, who eventually reveals that he is working for Mr. Trick and a demon called Lurconis. Giles remembers that Lurconis hides in the sewers. They arrive in time to stop Mr. Trick, the Mayor, and several vampires from completing the ritual to summon Lurconis and feed him a tribute of four babies, although the Mayor escapes before being noticed. Mr. Trick also escapes, and Buffy sets Lurconis on fire. The adults soon return to normal. The Mayor reprimands Mr. Trick for allowing the demon to die.
