“You really love her, don’t you?” he stated flatly.
 
“Yes. Same as you,” Spike replied.
 
“I doubt that,” Angel said with his usual arrogance.

I really doubt it too... Spike loves her more!

As always! Loved it!

Willow's rape of Tara never stops being creepy.  *shudder*

I notice that while everyone else talks about fixing/changing Buffy, Spike tells Dawn they'll fix the world.  Part of his grandiosity, maybe, that he thinks he can; but also a sign that he recognizes that there are very real reasons why the world would be harsh for Buffy, even if she were aware of the reality of it.

I agree with Spike -- she's afraid and traumatized and has some kind of amnesia.  Plus something like aphasia or some other inability to communicate fluently.  But she's not crazy.

Angel won't be an enemy then,good. He don't like it but he accept the situation.

oops ignore previous "text"! Anyway, good update - Willow is the type here who will do what she wants no matter what anyone else says, trying out her forgetting spell on Tara and thinking all is fine could mean she will go ahead with her own plans? I like your Spike - Angel confrontation, Spike spoke a lot of sense and Angel actually listened, going back to LA is a good move, less trauma for Buffy with him gone. Let's see what happens next!

Willow will never listen to anyone and I fear things are goig to get a lot worse for Buffy.  I thought Spike's words were very telling, especially when compared to Willow's -- We’ll find some way of making this world somewhere she wants to be. I promise you.

Aargh! Willow's power trip certainly isn't over. That worries me. Poor Tara. Good that Giles is reassessing his opinion of Spike. And Angel is off out of the away to L.A. Excellent.

Like the way you used Willow's forgetting spell and that you showed that Angel really does love her even if he's a big goof.  LOL at the two of them arguing over who gets to dust a vampire. 

I'm glad Angel is gone but then there is that other problem called Willow. I just can't see her stopping and that's bad for Buffy.

Poor Spike.  But the Poof is off his back at least.   This is so hard for everyone.  I hope Spike is right and the wheels start turning soon.  Good to see that Giles is rethinking his position on vampires.  

Yay, Angel's gone, he's finally doing something right. Now I can focus all my hatred on Willow. Looking forward to more.

Everyone doubts Spike. Do they not remember his history? I mean seriously 100 freaking years with Dru. If that's not love and devotion what is? Especially considering how crazy Dru is. I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach about Willow. What she just did to Tara is bad. It's rape. But what ever she is planning in her head is going to be so much worse for Buffy. I can see Dawn and Spike getting hurt, possibly even physically hurt by a deranged slayer when Willow does what ever stupid spell she is planning. Figures, Angel runs away again. So what if Buffy can't stand the sight of you right now. You stay and help on the sidelines if that's what needed. But that isn't Angel. If he can't be front and center it doesn't interest him. That's where Spike and Angel are different. Spike did the harder thing staying after Buffy died. Angel ran so he didn't have to face any of it. Spike stayed, looked after her friends and sister. Forced himself to stay in a town that reminded him of Buffy on every corner. Went into her house that probably still smelled of her. That was a far more painful and difficult thing. Anyone can run off to "get their head on straight" staying is a sign of true devotion and love. No matter how painful it was.
