This is one of my season 7 favorites episodes. It's because the kitchen scene between Buffy and Spike.
I adore that conversation and is one of the strangest they two maintain in this season.
Why did Buffy think that Spike is giving to him contradictory signals?
Why did she force him to repeat her that he loves her?
Did she mean she love him when she told him "I was there"?
I've watch that scene one time and another and I never get to reach the complete meaning...

I've watch that scene one time and another and I never get to reach the complete meaning... Tat I tend to think they're both giving each other "mixed signals" alternately during the season, during this ep and even during this scene. Because they're both terrified - as Spike so succinctly puts it. Terrified of what it means if they do both love each other. Terrified of the possibility that they might not love each other the same amount and even more terrified that they might. Terrified of what it might mean to try and build something together and terrified that this apocalypse is really the end of everything and if they do love each other, well, does that mean they're finding this out just when it's too late? As to what she means when he asks "were you there with me" and she says "I was", well, I think she doesn't really know what it means that they spent that night together. So, when he asks her what that night meant and she says she doesn't know - I think she's being completely honest right then. I think she is just totally confused. Add in the fact that she's just gotten the scythe and a whole lot of new info and is probably starting to build her ideas of a plan to defeat the First and . . . Well, the scene in the kitchen seems to me to be all about two people having an incredibly difficult time talking to each other. Too much past history, too much current confusion, too much fear about the future. In my humble opinion, anyway.  |

Very well said, Lola! #thumbsup# It's a scene that is kind of frustrating for me because they come so close to really opening up to one another. They take their tentative steps--and then they both pull back. But I love when Buffy stops Spike before he can walk out the door. It would have been so easy to let him leave before offering him some gratitude for giving her strength, but I think she knew that she probably wouldn't have too many more opportunities to talk to him privately. |
