Shownotes
It’s foreign exchange student time at Sunnydale High, and Buffy is hosting a male student from South America. Xander isn’t thrilled until it seems Buffy is actually hosting a girl, not a boy. Unbeknownst to the Scoobies, this girl, who takes on the name Ampata, is an ancient Incan mummy sacrificed by her people. She’s brought back to life and must drain the life force of other people in order to remain alive. Xander quickly charms Ampata with his goofiness, and she agrees to go with him to the upcoming World Culture Dance. More bodies are discovered, and Buffy and Giles realize that Ampata is the mummy. Just as Willow is about to become Ampata’s next victim, Xander offers himself in her place. Ampata hesitates just long enough to age quickly and turn to dust. The next day, Xander bemoans his awful luck in love, and Buffy points out that Ampata may have done bad things, but she also had horrible things done to her.
