Buffy is sent into a wild fluctuation between alternative realities - in one world she's the vampire slayer, in the other she's been institutionalized for severe delusional schizophrenia.

Episode Quotes
 
Buffy: I was in an institution. There were, um, doctors and nurses and other patients. They told me that I was sick. I guess crazy. And that, um, Sunnydale and all of this, none of it was real.

Spike: Oh, balls. You didn't say he was a Glarghk Guhl Kashma 'nik.
Xander: 'Cause I can't say Glarba --
 
(after tranquillising the demon)
Xander: I altered his reality. Get it? I -- Never mind.
