Why is Giles acting like this?   Spike is right; it was fine for him to be there to protect Giles and the Scoobies as well as Dawn the entire time Buffy was 'gone', but now that she is back, Spike should just go away???    I could never understand that in the series, either.   What, Spike have feeling for and care for and look after Dawn like his own family, but he isn't capable of having real feelings for Buffy????   How stupid is that?   If the Scoobies accept that Spike has feelings for Dawn, why can't they accept that he has feelings for Buffy???    Or don't they care enough about Dawn to worry that Spike can't love her without a soul?    Am I crazy, or is Giles just as stupid as the rest of the gang???    Thanks for sharing your talent with the rest of us.    I will keep checking back for updates.
