Boy, I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation!

 Really lovely.  I always hated how Angel seemed to think he owned Buffy even though he chose to leave, decided not to try to anchor that soul of his.  I am glad Buffy saw that aspect here.

Liked that Spike and Angel talked rather than fought.  That seems more in keeping in this story.

Excellent!
