Buffy walks up the sidewalk to her house. Suddenly Spike appears behind her, saying they need to talk and that having a little fight didn't change anything between them. Persistent bugger. I'm starting to believe that maybe Spike is only as fluent in English as any given member of the ZeroWing translation team. I mean, if Buffy is consistently telling him that there's no chance in hell, and he's still all, "All your base are belong to us!" Buffy rants that she wants him to leave Sunnydale, and that he'd better not come near her, her family, or her friends, ever. She storms up onto the porch and Spike follows, still claiming they "have something" and that she can't "just shut [him] out." She opens the door and enters the house; Spike attempts to follow but is stopped by an invisible force. Willow has apparently reversed his longstanding invite into the Summers home. For once, Spike is at a loss for words; he stares imploringly at Buffy as she slams the door in his face.

Next week, it's more of the same. Or as I like to call it, "Crushing Vampire, Stalking Slayer."
