Fool For Love It's London 1880 and William has just been rejected by the unattainable Cecilly. Sulking, he leaves the party and on his way home, walking the streets he bumps into a trio, catching Drusilla's attention. She quickly catches up to him, finding him alone in an alleyway crying. Drusilla easily seduces the self-conscious William, who's peers have looked down at him, and lady-love said he was beneath her. Dru quickly to denounce such things, saying "Oh, I see you. A man surrounded by fools who cannot see his strength, his vision, his glory." Getting closer she continues, weaving lovely and poetic words around him, telling him his wealth, to her, lies in his spirit and imagination. "You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine." William is charmed and nearly speechless by her insight, obviously believing himself deeper than those around him as well. Drusilla is vague when she asks if he wants "it" but when her face changes and William's reaction is by far more one of confusion than fear. Later, we see Darla, Angelus, Drusilla and William holding up in a coal mine. Angelus is holding him against the wall, pinned by the neck. Darla and Dru watch from behind Angel as William declares his name as "Spike" he's a complete 180 from the mortal boy we saw before. Spike, much like his mortal counterpart, is looking for attention. To the point that it usually ends with the vampires fleeing the area. This does not make Angelus happy. We also learn that it wasn't just season two's Angelus that never got along with Spike. Turns out they were never friends as they argue, coming to blows in the coal mine. Darla and Dru look on eagerly, neither moving to intervene. Darla sing-song's to Drusilla, "I think our boys are going to fight." Drusilla's response is to clap her hands giddily, neither of the girls thinking their respective boy's will get badly hurt. Dru's reply is cryptically laced with lunacy as usual and gets a slightly bewildered look from Darla. Angelus is annoyed when his efforts to make Spike come around to his way of thinking fail, and in China, 1900 we see that Drusilla is all too happy that Spike *doesn't* follow in Angelus' footsteps when he takes out his first Slayer inside a Buddhist Temple. It's the Boxer Rebellion and Angelus has already been cursed with a soul leaving Darla, Drusilla and Spike traveling together. Dru is completely wowed by Spike's achievement, lustfully talking to him. He grabs Dru around the waist and holds her tightly to him, saying "the blood of a Slayer is a powerful aphrodisiac" She looks at him hungrily and he offers her a taste, holding up a blood coated finger. She seductively sucks on it, moaning her delight Spike smirks and picks her up, slamming her against a nearby wall and they passionately kiss, pulling off one another clothes as they sink to the floor. Later, we see Dru has found herself a new coat and she 's happily leaning against the confident, no longer overcompensating, Spike drunkenly. They meet up with Darla and Angelus in the middle of the chaos ridden streets. When Darla asks where they've been, this time it's Drusilla's turn to giddily want to tell everyone what's going. Angel remains eerily neutral, if not somewhat melancholy to hear that Spike killed a Slayer. Drusilla, however is distracted from the conversation smelling the intoxicating fear South America, 1998 Spike paces outside an outdoor café before Dru, who is sitting nearby, looking angry. (( Note: Her nails are blue. )) Drusilla wants to know why Spike never killed the Slayer, and the very real impression is made that when she says "Why can't you kill her?" she's not talking about the physical Buffy Summers. Spike argue that Dru's the one who keeps bringing up the Slayer, he hasn't said a word about her since they left after the Acathla incident. But to Drusilla that's not true, because, as she says, she can see Buffy floating around in his head. He can't stop thinking about her. And yet, Dru keeps punishing him by making out with random creatures. For example, the one he caught her making out with on a nearby bench. Hey, it's a chaos demon, go figure *g* She complains that Buffy is alive, she's physically alive and she's alive within Spike and she can't stand it anymore.
