A special weekend wrap-up edition of the Herald for you today...and Happy Mother's Day to all those celebrating!

BUFFY: So, uh, no research? Nothing going on? Monsters or whatnot? Good! Good. (awkwardly) Uh, so, did anybody ... uh ... last night, you know, did anybody, um ... burst into song?
XANDER: Merciful Zeus!
WILLOW: We thought it was just us!
GILES: Well, I sang but I had my guitar at the hotel...
TARA: It was bizarre. We were talking and then it was like-
BUFFY: Like you were in a musical!
TARA: Yeah!
GILES: That would explain the huge backing orchestra I couldn't see and the synchronized dancing from the room service chaps.
WILLOW: We did a whole duet about dish washing.
ANYA: And we were arguing and, and then everything rhymed and there were harmonies and the dance with coconuts.
WILLOW: There was an entire verse about the cous-cous.
XANDER: It was very disturbing.
GILES: (to Buffy) What did you sing about?
BUFFY: (pauses) I don't remember. But i-it seemed perfectly normal.
XANDER: But disturbing. And not the natural order of things, and do you think it'll happen again?
GILES: I don't know. I should look into it.
WILLOW: With the books.
TARA: Do we have any books on this?
XANDER: Well, we just gotta break it down. Look at the factors before it happens again.
