Good dialogue, and I like the way conversations and events from the series change subtly, rather than being exactly the same.
Thanks, again, sweetie! The idea is to keep enough the same for things to be believable, but at the same time to tweak things so that they come out better.

Wow can't wait to see how that's going to work out and Dru is back looking for him, which is never any good. Great read, thanks.
Yep, the fight at the hospital seemed like a good starting point for the purposes of getting rid of the chip but unfortunately, the next ep up is Crush, which means just when she finds out Spike no longer has the chip, she also finds a trainload of bodies... Most inconvenient of ME to order things like that.

Thanks again. Hope I haven't kept you up too late and I look forward to seeing what you think of the rest of the fic so far when you get to it.

eck!! wow, way to spell it out for them spike...rofl *runs quickly to next chapter*
Thanks, honey!

Well, as Dawn so rightly worked out... No way he could give Buffy the same explanation he gave her mom.

I like that Spike finally told Buffy about the chip not working and that he was so smart about the way he did it. Telling Giles at the same time, not having the Scoobies (Xander) there, and pointing out their options so concisely. Thanks for the update.
Thanks, honey!

I think having Giles there was just a bonus, the way the storyline meshed with canon, but telling Buffy when Joyce is there is bound to help a little.

Nice cliffhanger. Can't wait to see what happens next. I thought his "options" were very well delivered. You got Spike's character nailed.
Thanks! Spike was really left with very limited options. He had to tell her about the chip, but there weren't many ways to do that and avoid telling her how he felt at the same time...

very good read. spike directness is not going to set well with the idiot watcher, but buffy, maybe. thanks for the fine read.
Thanks! I have a plan... I just don't remember what it is.

Nicely done.
Thank you!

wow...way to go spike, very direct and forceful and confident...now to see how buffy takes it...hope giles isn't a jerk about it...but he probably will be *sigh*.
Thanks, honey!

Yep. There was only one way to go if Spike didn't want to have to explain his feelings to Buffy... and yes, Giles has been a watcher far too long to fall into line easily.

Nice reworking of the ep. I love Spike's proposal - great chapter. Can't wait to see the explosion that's coming.
Thank you, honey! I hope you won't be disappointed when the time comes.

Took the bull by the horns, there.

Oh, dear...Dru's in town.
Thanks, honey. Yep Dru is back as was pretty much inevitable
