Cowboy vampires and parenthood health class models take center stage in this second season episode. The Gorch brothers -- the rootinest, tootinest pair of insane bloodsucking vampire cowpokes ever to come a'ridin' out of the Old West -- have just ridden into Sunnydale. While researching them with Giles (Anthony Stewart Head), Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) misses her health class, where everybody pairs off and is given egg to care for as a real child. Subsequently, Buffy gets to play single mother to little "Eggbert." Unfortunately, these aren't free-range chicken eggs, but bezoar eggs -- a prehistoric parasite living under Sunnydale High. As the eggs hatch the little bezoars attach themselves to their "parents," creating human drones to help release their trapped mother. Buffy catches her egg hatching and kills the bezoar. Along with help from Xander (Nicholas Brendon) -- who hard-boiled his egg -- Buffy attempts to stop the bezoar from escaping. Of course, the Gorch brothers attack at the same time.
