Big old sigh, you really ratcheted up the tension ther, I swear I was kinda holding my breath.

  Well that felt good to breathe again there, but the next two chapters seem like I am not going to be let off that easily.

Buffy should know better than to try to hide this from Joyce, it'll never work!  Love the heated confrontation with Riley!  I was glad he forced her into outing him in front of the Scoobies so they could see it for themselves.  Also love how Willow reacted like a best friend should during the Buffy breakdown!  Hope she can still be as supportive when she finds out about Buffy and Spike.

I have a feeling that the plastic stake is going to make an appearance.

I've always liked the way that Joyce treated Spike.  Having her on their side will definitely help.  I love the gentleness between Spike and Buffy in this scene.  Thanks.

It would have been nice to see this on the show. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the update!

Dumping Riley is a big step in the right direction for Buffy - he'll be out for revenge though!!
