Okay, I am picturing Joyce taking out Spike with a battle axe and I don't care what dangers he's faced, a pissed off mohter is the worst. Story line is perfecto, but I would have placed it as a past life story, like Buffy in the 1800's or something, I dunno. I'm just saying a 16 year old girl isn't going to go off and get married because of a carnival ride. Overall the story is excellent, I would just change the time frame :) !
