Spike's crush on Buffy is exposed. Drusilla comes back to town

 

* [[All Take and No Give]]

{{quote| '''Harmony:''' What about me, Spike? You forget about me again? The actual girlfriend? I gave you the best ... bunch of months of my life! I thought I could change you, Spike. I thought maybe if I gave and I gave and gave, maybe you'd come around. Maybe be a little nicer. Stop treating me like your dog. But now I see it's you. You're the dog. Who needs to be put down. }}

* [[Casual Kink]]: Harmony invites Spike to tie her up. Spike instead gets her to dress up as Buffy for some roleplay and roll-in-the-hay.

'''Spike:''' Yeah, but-- (through his teeth) You are missing the point. }}

* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: Knocking out your [[Love Interest]] with a cattle prod, chaining her up and saying you'll prove your ardour by staking your vampire ex is not the way to Buffy's heart.

{{quote| '''Buffy:''' What ... is this? The late-night stakeout, the bogus suspects, the flask [of booze]? Is this a ''date?''<br />

'''Spike:''' (loudly) A d- Please! (pretending to be amused) A date? You are completely off your bird! I mean... (quietly) Do you want it to be? }}

* [[Do Not Taunt Cthulhu]]

{{quote| '''Harmony:''' I told you: I don't do threesomes unless they're boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron. }}

* [[Failed Attempt At Drama]]: Spike's tirade is interrupted {{spoiler|by his ex-girlfriend Harmony shooting him [[In the Back]].}}

{{quote| '''Spike:''' It's just, we took on that Glory chippie together, I was right there with you, fightin' the fight.<br />

'''Buffy:''' Actually, you were sleeping the sleep of the knocked unconscious. }}
