Oh boy, Daddy gets tough on Willow. Hope he kicks her ass.

Wow!  Again, very powerful.  You could have heard a pin drop in that scene as the expressions suddenly changed.  So sad.

All those happy hopes scattered, bet they wish they'd stayed oblivious.

Oh dear, I know it was inevitable but I wish they could have stayed in their little bubble a bit longer.
Willow so deserves everything that's coming to her. How she tried to push the blame on Spike was scandalous. Great update.

I sometimes wish that the spell had never been broken, but I suppose it's good that it was. The diaries were an excellent device for enlightening them as to what might have happened, and of course Xander's jealous anger at Giles for sleeping with 'his girl' (although of course none of them knew that!) was the perfect trigger for smashing the crystal.

Anya is bound to compare her relationship with Giles to her previous relationship with Xander - and of course Buffy has to come to terms with everything again. I just hope she recognises how happy she was with Spike before he gets too defensive and does something stupid...

Such a shame that reality had to crush some of their happiness.  I think, maybe it is better that they had some idea first, but poor Spike.  The aspects of that relationship that they kept hidden... wonder how they'll blossom now.  Update soon!

NICE - excellent chapter and way to bring everything back - I hope that you can manage  to keep Giles and Anya together - I loved them as a couple in the episode. 

Wanna bet Willow tries to fix it again?! I find it funny that Buffy and Spike were the only ones that managed to stay in the same relationship they were in pre spell and during the spell. The rest well they just went where ever. If anything that should tell them all something. Like the relationships they had weren't all that great before.

Even when Xander has no memories, he is quick to blame Spike. Of course Spike cast the spell to erase their memories. Then of course Spike somehow took advantage of Buffy even though he didn't have any memories either.
