Crush Drusilla arrives via train back into Sunnydale after a three year absence. She's killed everyone on the train and left a doll with a blindfold tied around it's eyes in the luggage compartment. The next night, Dru is waiting for Spike in his crypt after he was rejected by Buffy. She announces herself as "a happy memory" and she's come to make everything right again. Dru gives Spike the skinny from LA nostalgic to reunite the four vampires all be a family again. Spike's not too keen on her plans, however, but when he starts listing why, she interrupts him, saying he needn't lie. Dru already knows about the chip, saying "Tin soldiers put funny little knick-knacks in your brain. Can't hunt! Can't hurt! Can't kill!" she jerks her head violently to the side on each 'can't' in an imitation of Spike being zapped. But Drusilla doesn't believe in science. She doesn't believe in things people can't see. Which is just too classic coming from Dru. In less than a minute she's able to re-convinced him that he's the killer she knew from the past and that "No little tinker toy could ever stop him from flowing." They share a moment as she finally convinces him that chip or no-chip they belong together, they are both vicious killers. And Harmony comes in, ruining the moment. She assumes that 'drood-zilla' is actually an imposture. Drusilla gives her an elegant Talk-To-The-Hand. Smirking when Harmony calls Spike 'boo-boo-bear' Dru watches, not at all concerned and waits for Spike to toss Harmony out. Later, we see Spike and Dru enter the Bronze. They go immediately to the dance floor, they dance sensually, until Dru looks up, spying the perfect victims. Two teenagers are alone in the rafters making out, Drusilla spins so her back is pressed up against Spike's chest and tilts his head upwards towards the groping couple. Drusilla snaps the girls neck and hands her over to Spike while she takes the boy. With little hesitation, Spike drains the girl. Buffy comes up from Spikes would-be basement having seen the Buffy-Shrine, to see Spike crouched next to the tunnel hole with blood still on his lips. Buffy nervously asks what's happened to which Drusilla replies, "Me" and shocks Buffy with a cattle prod. Spike taunts her a bit, mentioning that his Ex just couldn't live without him anymore and Dru shocks her again, this time the Slayer goes unconsciousness. Dru suggests tying her up to play a little, but Spike's through playing, and Dru smiles, liking that just as much. She hands Spike the cattle prod and turns on her, shocking Dru into unconsciousness as well. Buffy awakens to find herself cuffed in the middles of a stone arch, Spike standing directly in front of her. Buffy fretfully pulls on the chains, the first words coming out of her mouth being "Drusilla?" Spike smirks and moves to reveal that Dru is also restrained, tied to a pillar with her hands behind her back. And she is *not* happy. Dru and Buffy face each other, glaring daggers at Spike. And when he confesses his undying love to the Slayer, Dru bursts out laughing, because she saw it way back in South America. She knew years before Spike ever even came to love Buffy. He puts a stake to Dru’s chest (( to which she laughs again )). To prove his love, he’s going to kill his ex-girlfriend. This only proves to Buffy that Spike is “sick and miserable and [she] should have dusted him a long time ago” Spike is aghast at her lack of caring and says “This is Drusilla, girl! You have the slightest idea what she means to me? It's the face of my salvation! She delivered me from mediocrity. For over a century we ... cut a swath through continents. A hundred years, she never stopped surprising me. [she] Never stopped taking me to new depths. I was a lucky bloke… just to touch such a black beauty.” This still doesn’t make an impression in the bound Slayer so Spike ups the ante. if Buffy doesn't admit that there is something between her and Spike, he'll untie Drusilla and let her kill the Slayer. This is obviously much better a scenario in Dru’s eyes. So Buffy meets him halfway. He had a chance with her when she was unconscious. Spike freaks. Screaming that it’s everyone’s fault but his until Harmony shows up with a crossbow, and shots him. She wonders how he managed to forget her *again* as she’s the actual girlfriend. It’s now three to one, but Buffy and Dru are still tied up. Dru is first to get loose and almost has the Slayer when Spike shoves her away and save Buffy. Drusilla gets up, declaring that Spike is beyond her help. Back to Episodes Archive ~ Writing ~ Links ~ Extras ~  Site ~ Home
