I was so glad that Buffy finally told somebody what she was thinking, but Xander wasn't even listening. And I thought that Willow was maybe going to explain things to him since she seemed to understand. But now I am dying to know what Willow is planning. Can't wait to find out what is going on.

Ok, let me get this straight-- Dawn left one surprise and Willow left another? Neither of them knows the other is playing with magicks? And maybe neither of these little "gifts" is working the way it's supposed to, because Spike has a soul now? How close did I get-- Did I win the prize? A good chapter-- and while I not a huge fan of all things Scooby, looks like Willow gets it, and poor. clueless Xander is, well, clueless. I'm glad to see that Buffy is in full "Want, take, have" mode when it comes to Spike. I'm looking very forward to the "taking" and the "having" portion of this story! ;)
