Looks like Buffy is going to deal with things the same way as always.  With agression and violence. 

awklol, i thought this was going to be about the slayers competing on So You Think You Can Dance  ...

but it seems really cool so i'll keep reading anyway :) 

we’re sending girls out as slayers who probably can’t do it without getting killed - I don't suppose you could let a couple dozen of those poxy slayerettes get killed?  Great story!

Awesome chapter!  I hope Spike spills everything in the talk.   And wondering what type of healing he needs...

Lovely update. I haven't read the comics, so i'm not sure if they ever established where the power used to call the girls came from. The Guardian of the scythe said it was created using donated power, so does that mean it's finite? If so it's stretched very thin. Really hope Buffy and Spike get a chance to talk, I assume Spike's still under the impression Buffy moved on with the immortal, damn Andrew. Things obviously aren't right with him. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Something is up with Spike. It almost seems like he is hiding something. Is his soul gone? After everything Buffy had said to him about being a disgusting thing when he didn't have it I could see him not wanting to let anyone know. If it is gone he probably figures Buffy would stake him no matter what he was doing. Now why would Buffy not tell Faith and Willow that Spike was back. She's treating him like her dirty little secret again. Why aren't the girls as strong as VI at the very least. I could see them not being as strong as Buffy but they should be the same the strength as Vi.

Getting even more interesting...
