At last Spike tried; not only to save Buffy in his dreams, the idea with the buyers / hearts was a good idea; not his fault that it wasn't so easy.
Hard to fight other vamps when you can't kill them either :(
Whatever if was (a vision, the real Anubis) he sent a warning... because of Angelus or the Scoobies?
But one problem less with Angelus gone; enough problems remained.
Looking forward to more :)

Author's Response: Since I'm skimming close to canon, Angel had to show up, but scooting him along was probably the nicest thing I'm going to do to the characters for a while. Thanks for the review!
