Really excellent chapter.  Clearly he's read Avery's death wish and will be willing to release her.  He's flummoxed to think that Buffy's spared him a thought much less a plan but that's good. He'll have the reason now to make clear decisions.  Between the two of them on their different sides of this dimensional problem they will (as always) work perfectly together if they keep focused.

I'm delighted with how well Xander and Willow have handled the information about Buffy's past 5 years.  There is a big gap between them now (experience alone!) but their love and acceptance will help to bridge that and give her the support system that has always stood her in good stead.  Willow is particularly helpful with her non-judgmental practicality regarding both the drugs and the importance of Spike.  Well done!  I love when they act reasonably from their real love for her and not just a knee-jerk reaction to unpleasant circumstance (or the mention of Spike as a positive).
