Citation :: No kiss? Goodness, this episode is full of kisses! When Buffy reaches out and caresses Spike's face – what, we're supposed to imagine they just stood there stroking each other's faces? I mean, come on, the next thing we see they're in bed in each other’s arms.

Of course there were kisses. Oh, not big, desperate, hungry kisses – but soft, quiet, kisses – kisses as instinctive and underplayed and natural as everything else in their relationship at this point.

I think the scene where she's lying there playing with his hand is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. And it follows that it can only come from physical intimacy – you just don't have that level of comfort with somebody unless you trust them with every part of your body and soul. And oh, aren’t their hands perfect together? Hers so tiny, his so strong. And goodness, you could make an entire video box-set out of all the significant hand moments Buffy and Spike have shared over the past six years.

Citation :: I'm sure they slept together – really slept together. It wouldn't matter for a moment if they didn’t – because sex now is an expression of their relationship rather than the relationship itself. But it seems to me the whole way this scene is played tells us that they did, and that it was warm and gentle and tender. And complete.

Citation :: "No you don't" isn’t a statement of fact – it's an instruction. The delivery is absolutely unmistakable. And nobody can deliver a line like James Marsters can – except, perhaps, Sarah Michelle Gellar. I honestly think there's no other way of interpreting it. That's exactly why this scene is set up the way it is.

Look at everything he says to her in this scene. When he says, "Buffy, I can feel it." there's still that tiny edge of vulnerability, that tiny sense of leaning on her. You can hear it in his voice, see it in his eyes. But from the moment we cut back to that scene, he is completely in charge. And the last six things he says to her are all instructions - "Go on then" - " No…it's for me to do the clean up" - "Gotta move, lamb" - " I mean it, I gotta do this " - " No you don't" - "Now go! "
