Mm, interesting stuff. I'm enjoying creepy aggressive/needy Spike; the disconcerting mood swings remind me of Crazy Basement Spike circa early Season Seven, which makes sense considering that he's been brooding in boredom for, what, a few months of subjective time? Plenty of time for a relapse.

And Buffy continues to make the best of an awkward situation, but man, she's still wearing those horrible pointy-toed boots? Fashion crime in progress!

Anyways, I guess this covers the Return To The Basement part of the program. I hope our protagonists have enjoyed their little trip down memory lane...
