Synopsis

Riley awakens from his coma and arrives at Giles' house just in time to keep Spike from taking away the magic stone in the insects' infestation device. In the lair of the giant insects, the hive queen, speaking through the body of Dr. Whitcomb, tells of the hive's plan to take over the surface world. Riley and Spike arrive at the insect lair in time to save the gang from being killed. Buffy uses the magic stone to find and destroy the hive's power source while Giles kills the body of Dr. Whitcomb. Upon returning to Giles' house, the gang finds Rebecca safe and sound.
