I did expect Lydia to show up, she had to know at some point. It was a wonderful piece of denile from her. Worrying that Buffy was forcing Spike to have sex with her. It's not offten someone is worried that Spike is forced. It was a denile thing, but still sort of nice.
I also, liked Nigel in this chapter.

Author's Response: Well, we knew she had to sooner or later, right? :) She hung on to that denial as long as she could, but even when you're completely delusional, you have to give it up eventually. Thanks for reading!
