Spike's return causes Buffy and her friends to re-evaluate their relationships. Recently dumped by Drusilla, Spike returns to Sunnydale seeking revenge on Buffy and Angel. However, after encountering Willow in the magic shop, Spike decides that he would rather use witchcraft to win Dru back. He then kidnaps Willow and Xander and enlists Buffy and Angel's help in obtaining the ingredients necessary for Willow to perform a spell that will make Dru love him again. In witnessing their behavior towards each other, Spike realizes that Buffy and Angel are still in love and calls their attention to it. At the same time, Oz and Cordelia find the captive Willow and Xander in a compromising situation, and Cordelia sustains injuries when running from the scene. Oz dumps Willow, Buffy decides not to see Angel anymore, and Spike heads after Drusilla, to torture her until she wants him again. Short synopsis by Fluff.

Oz : "I can see why you'd be upset. Uh, that was my sarcastic voice."
Xander : "Y'know, it sounds a lot like your regular voice."
Oz : "I've been told that."
Buffy : "She saw these scores and her head spun around and exploded."
Giles : "I've been on the Hellmouth too long. That was metaphorical, yes?"
Joyce : "It's just. you belong at a good old-fashioned college, with keg parties and boys, not here with Hellmouths and vampires."
Buffy : "Not really seeing the distinction."
Spike : "She wouldn't even kill me. She just left. She didn't even care enough to cut off my head, or set me on fire! I mean, is that too much to ask? Some little sign that she cared?"
Spike : "You're not friends. You'll never be friends . You'll be in love 'til it kills you both. You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other 'til it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends . Love isn't brains, children, it's blood. Blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it."
Spike : "I'm gonna do what I should've done in the first place. I'll find her, wherever she is, tie her up, torture her. until she likes me again."
