"Inca Mummy Girl" is episode four of season two of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The episode was written by former series story editors Matt Kiene & Joe Reinkemeyer (penning their second and final script for the show) and directed by Ellen S. Pressman, inspired by the story of Momia Juanita, a real mummy discovered on the extinct volcano Ampato near Arequipa, Peru, in 1995. The narrative revolves around a "cultural exchange" event at Sunnydale High, involving a museum exhibit, a dance, and foreign exchange students, two of whom stay with Buffy and Cordelia. After a class troublemaker is reported missing after the museum trip, the Scooby Gang investigates and finds the Incan mummy from the exhibit gone and the missing student mummified in her place. Meanwhile, Buffy must hide her identity as the Slayer and the mummy investigation from her exchange student, Ampata, who has a secret of her own.

Famous quotes containing the words mummy and/or girl:
“I must work, so as not to be a fool, to get on, to become a journalist, because that’s what I want!... I can’t imagine that I would have to lead the same sort of life as Mummy ... and all the women who do their work and are then forgotten. I must have something besides a husband and children, something that I can devote myself to!”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
“There was a little girl, she had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead;
And when she was good, she was very, very good,
And when she was bad, she was horrid.”
—Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. There Was a Little Girl (attributed to Mother Goose)
