Described as a "reality TV magazine," UPN's Get This Party Started was created by Lara Shriftman, who ran a major publicity/marketing firm specializing in promoting products and sidelining in the organization of elaborate special events (Shriftman's partner was Elizabeth Harrison, with whom she had co-authored several advice books). The series focused on the "special event" aspect of Shriftman's business. In each hour-long episode, a deserving person was surprised with a lavish and expensive party, thrown in his or her honor by friends and family members. In the debut episode, a young man celebrated his 21st birthday at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino; and in episode number two, the highlight was a surprise graduation party, held at Arizona State University with a full complement of sexy cheerleaders. Actors Kristin Cavallari (Laguna Beach) and Ethan Erickson hosted the series, which debuted on February 7, 2006. Though scheduled for a full 13 weeks, Get This Party Started went on hiatus after only two installments, possibly because of the corporate nervousness attending UPN's upcoming merger with WB. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In this modern take on the classic tale The Picture of Dorian Gray, a handsome young man quickly learns that having it all may not be the key to happiness after all. A handsome model whose wealth, fame, and luck with the ladies is more than most men could ever dream, Dorian (Ethan Erickson) knows that time is not on his side and when his looks go, his career will be quick to follow. Though Dorian's malevolent agent, Henry (Malcolm McDowell), offers his client the gift of eternal youth, the price tag on this luxury may be more than the vain young man is willing to pay. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

An earthquake hits Sunnydale, unleashing some demons seeking the ingredients to bring about the end of the world -- "Again," Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and her friends groan. Meanwhile, Spike (James Marstens), tied up at Xander's (Nicholas Brendon) and utterly dispirited over losing his ability to kill (see "Pangs"), attempts suicide by falling on a stake. Buffy and friends decide that maybe taking him along to stop the end of the world might cheer him up. Then, Giles (Anthony Head) is attacked by the demons who steal a talisman from him, thereby collecting all they need to start the end of the world. Earlier in the episode, Buffy and Riley (Marc Blucas) -- who fought "The Gentlemen" together in "Hush" -- reveal their secret lives to each other. Buffy keeps the information about The Initiative from Giles. ~ All Movie Guide

Angry over being human and still only in the 12th grade, Anya (Emma Caulfield) enlists Willow (Alyson Hannigan) to help her get her amulet back. Their spell goes wrong, and, instead of the amulet, brings vampire Willow back (see "The Wish"). Soon, vamp Willow recruits some vampire henchmen, takes over the Bronze and generally sullies the real Willow's nice-girl reputation. Real Willow confronts vamp Willow in the library -- are they attracted to each other? -- and manages to lock her in the book cage. She trades outfits with her vampire self and goes to the Bronze to kick some pasty vampire butt. Later in the library, Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter), mistaking vamp Willow for the nice one, lets her out of the book cage, all the while preaching to vamp Willow about stealing boyfriends. Meanwhile, Anya recognizes the real Willow at the Bronze blowing her vampire cover and causing one heck of a barroom brawl. ~ All Movie Guide

At Ronald Reagan High School, the power elite clique consists of Courtney Shane (Rose McGowan), Julie Freeman (Rebecca Gayheart), Marcie Fox (Julie Benz), and Liz Purr (Charlotte Roldan). The four girls control the school through a combination of beauty, sex, and intimidation. Of the four, only Liz is actually liked by the less fortunate members of the student body, and Liz is also the only one who can keep Courtney, the vicious group leader, in check. Unfortunately for Liz, she's also the only thing keeping Courtney from becoming prom queen. To achieve her goal, Courtney convinces Marcie and Julie to kidnap Liz on her 17th birthday and force her to eat until she's too fat to win. The three sneak into Liz's house, tie her up, stick a jawbreaker in her mouth, and gag her to keep her quiet before they throw her into the trunk of a car. Once they decide to free her, though, they find Liz has choked to death. Courtney decides not to go to the police; her brilliant idea is to take the body back home and create a death scene where Liz is strangled during kinky sex. Predictably, the girls screw it up, and they end up with a witness, social outcast Fern Mayo (Judy Greer). To buy her silence, Courtney draws her into the clique, transforming much more than just her outward appearance. The identity of Fern disappears, to be replaced by the very popular Vylette. In parallel to the rise of Vylette, we witness Julie's descent. Overcome with guilt over Liz's death, Julie drops out of the clique, and without the veil of protection from the others, she is now a target of abuse throughout the school. Courtney's ordeal has just begun as Vylette now challenges her for prom queen and Julie, with the help of another outcast, Zach (Chad Christ), now wants to reveal the truth behind Liz's death. ~ Ron Wells, All Movie Guide
