In the episode "Beer Bad", Buffy's best friend Willow confronts Parker over what had happened. During that conversation, Parker attempts to seduce Willow, who initially plays along, but soon reveals she has seen through him and verbally attacks him. Later in the same episode, Parker tries to apologize to Buffy after she saves his life in a fire. However, Buffy, who has been mystically reverted to a cavewoman, merely responds by knocking him unconscious with a wooden club. Parker's final onscreen appearance is in the episode "The Initiative", in which Buffy's college TA Riley Finn punches him when he makes some rude comments about Buffy – specifically that "the difference between a freshman girl and a toilet seat is that the toilet seat doesn't follow you around after you use it."
