I laughed at this line: "Fact was way stranger than fiction in her backyard and Liz was totally over it." Poor Liz, she really seems fed up with everything.

Spike and Will coming to parallel realizations that Willow is not working alone really moved the story along, and I also laughed that Spike's wholly unflattering description of Riley was immediately recognized by both Willow and Buffy.

I was on vacation for a week, so now I have to play catch up with this entertaining story.

hmm, okay, didn't see that coming. why would riley help willow? i know he's a jerk sometimes, but he was never really evil on the show. i suppose there's a lot to get used to about this world. i hope nothing happens to will.
