the real meaning of that episode --- not only Giles is a New Man - so is Spike becoming one

Huh! That actually hadn't occurred to me as an interpretation of that episode. Interesting!

Thereby demonstrating, once again, that Buffy was the man in the prior setting, and Spike was the woman. They're back - - on different turf, now, and the roles are again reversed.

Yes - the gender reversal thing was really, really obvious in S6 and kept going through S7. And now they're starting from a new place, so a lot of those old patterns will, necessarily, have changed.

Stay tuned....
