Spike's in the basement, punching on the boxing bag. Buffy comes downstairs to join him, and Spike sulks at her about kissing Angel. When she tells him that Angel's gone, Spike sulks at her about whether Angel "popped by for a quickie then." That's our Spike -- never passes up an opportunity to be crude. Spike tells Buffy that Angel wears lifts, which is really, really rich coming from the original wee one himself. I wouldn't be calling attention to my shortcomings that way, Spike. Geddit? "Shortcomings," 'cause he's short? Oh, fine. Buffy wanders about, complaining about "jealous vampire crap," and I'm thinking, hey, she's the one who won't stop hanging out with them. If they bug you so much, Buffy, just quit it. The less said about her Angel 'n' Spike oil-wrestling fantasies as described here, the better. As she walks by the training bag, we see a little drawing Spike has stuck onto it. The pictured face has fangs, and stupid hair that sticks straight up, so I suspect it's supposed to be Angel. Looks a lot like Butthead, though! If he were a vampire. Spike wants to wear the Pretty Princess Pendant, because he's found the perfect little black outfit and he fancies adding some sparkle. Nah, he says he wants it because he's someone with a soul "but more than human." Ah, just hold on a second there, puppy. I believe Angel said "stronger than human," not "more than human." Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Buffy bestows the Pretty Princess Pendant upon Spike, calling him the "c" word in the process. He shows some good taste in being a little reluctant to accept that title. Buffy obliquely asks to spend the night in the basement, and Spike sends her away on account of her "Angel-breath," saying he has his pride. She starts to leave, and he darts in front of her, blurting out, "The whole 'having my pride' thing was just a smokescreen." Oh, Spike. We know you don't have any pride. I suspect it's one of the things Buffy loves about you. She's relieved she can stay, and Spike tells her, "I don't know what I would've done if you'da gone up those stairs." Huh. Probably followed her in under three minutes. But honestly, that was a romantic Spike moment that actually felt romantic to me. Rock on, Joss. Buffy reaches out to gently touch his face.
