"Buffy" fanatics aren't content to wait until the supernatural show premieres on UPN this fall to find out how their beloved slayer makes her way back from the dead.
****WARNING: SPOILER**********
The Ain't It Cool News website is claiming it has all the details of the season premiere of "Buffy, The Vampire Slayer".
When the show ended last season, "Buffy" fans were left shell-shocked when their hero, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, was killed in the final moments of the show's season-ender.
After the episode aired, series creator Joss Whedon went online to assure fans that Buffy and Sarah would be returning to TV in the fall. Since then, desperate fans have been frantically posting plot possibilities to bring back Buffy to the land of the living.
Now, a poster on www.aintitcool.com who calls himself Hercules, says he's got all the answers.
According to Hercules, the Buffybot -- a robot made in Buffy's image -- takes over as her sister Dawn's guardian for a time as her friends try to hide the fact that Buffy has died.
"We need the world -- and the underworld -- to believe Buffy is alive and well," says Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) during the two-hour season premiere set to air on Oct. 9.
In the wake of Buffy's death, Giles decides to return home to England, since he has no slayer to "watch" over. Willow, whose magical powers are increasing, then becomes the leader of the scooby gang.
Meanwhile, Willow and her girlfriend Tara move into Buffy's home to look after Dawn.
At the start of the second hour of the two-hour episode, Buffy comes back to life thanks to a little help from Willow and Anya.
Willow performs a spell that revives Buffy, who then has to claw her way out of her grave because Willow becomes distracted by a demon biker gang.
"A vampire injures Buffybot and discovers she's full of wires and computer chips," writes Hercules. "The vamp escapes and lets a bunch of demon bikers know that Sunnydale is now slayer-free. The bikers head into town to plunder."
The episode's chilly twist reportedly comes in when Buffy makes her way back to the tower where she originally died.
"It's strongly implied that Buffy was happier in the afterlife and intends to kill herself to get back," says Hercules.
In more "Buffy" news, the popular message board that used to feature hundreds of fans exchanging thoughts about the TV show is no more.
Now that "Buffy" has moved from The WB to UPN, The WB network has shut down buffy.com.
"Thanks for being part of one of the web's most extraordinary communities. We're pleased to have made it possible, and look forward to seeing you again soon," reads a message on what was once a busy, interactive website.
The UPN has not set up a new "Buffy" site yet.
