Tara watched Spike as he looked at the scenes being shown before him, she had always liked Spike when she was alive, there was this energy around him that she knew was good and he was someone who was willing to use it. She could see the longing in his eyes that he had for Buffy and the hurt in his eyes with each detail from his past he saw.
Tara: Do you understand what your purpose is Spike?
Spike tore his eyes away from Himself and Buffy sharing there first intimate kiss and looked at Tara.
Spike: No, I've been trying to figure that out since I was alive
Tara: You always had a good soul Spike, even when you were Just William and you were trying to get by in your everyday life, you had a soul that could love, and somehow, someway a part of William came back when you had the chip put in your head.
Spike: That still doesn't explain my purpose
Tara: It does Spike, you were meant to fall in love with Buffy, you were meant to receive your soul and you were meant to spend the rest of your immortal days with Buffy
Spike: None of this is coming together I'm not understanding everything
Tara: Don't worry Spike, it will come to you
They both focused their attention back on Spike and Buffy's first true intimate moment. Tara looked at Spike and hoped he would make the right choice when the time came.

Willow nudged Buffy who was staring out the window, there was something stirring up at the Hellmouth and it was going to happen soon. Buffy looked at Willow.
Willow: Buffy look at this (shows her paper)
Buffy took the paper from her and began to read then she looked at Willow.
Buffy: Where did you get this?
Willow: One of Angel's or Wesley's books
Buffy: What does this mean, "He shall awaken from the dust of the master's bones" I thought we were done with the master
Willow saw a look of fear go across Buffy's face, anything relating to the master always freaked her out a little bit.
Willow: I'm not sure, I think we need Giles
Buffy nodded agreeing with Willow and she handed the paper back to her. They rode the rest of the way home in silence.

They arrived at the magic box later in the afternoon, Xander had only told Giles and Anya what Willow had told him over the phone and the three of them wanted details.
Buffy went in the training room while Willow told them, about saving Angel, Angel's son and what Spike did. Buffy was in tears as she heard bits and pieces of what Willow was saying, a few minutes later Xander laid a hand on Buffy's shoulder.
Xander: You ok Buff?
Buffy: (wipes eyes) Yeah, I'm fine
Xander: I just wanted to say I'm sorry
Buffy: (confused) What for?
Xander: Everything with Spike, I shouldn't have ever gone so crazy over him, it's just... what he did with Anya hurt and you know me I always have to get my two cents in about everything and I knew what I said the other day hurt him and I hope I didn't have anything to do with... ah, what he did
Buffy looked at Xander, and hugged him tears rolling down her face. She was happy that Xander finally understood the thing with her and Spike.
Buffy: Thank you Xander... for everything
There was a sudden shrill of surprise from the front of the shop, Buffy and Xander walked back into the main part of the shop to see, Willow hugging Anya tightly.
Xander: (looks at Buffy Grinning) I guess Anya told Willow our good news
Buffy: What good news?
But before Xander could Answer, Willow let go of Anya and latched onto Xander, she was grinning from ear to ear.
Willow: Why didn't you tell me over the phone Xander!, this is so great, I'm so happy for you guys?
Buffy was confused she looked at her two best friends for answers.
Willow: (looks at Buffy) Xander's going to be a daddy Buffy!
Buffy couldn't help but to smile in shock and she too latched onto Xander.
Buffy: We have to call Dawn you have to tell her
Buffy's mood had improved with Xander's news and she was so happy for her friend.
Anya: Can I tell her Xander?
Xander: (nods grinning) Yeah tell everyone in LA, I say we party tonight
Then Willow let go of Xander, a serious look on her face.
Willow: Not to spoil the moment, but I think we have some Hellmouth issues to deal with before we party
She took the paper from her bag and handed it to Giles
Willow: I was looking through some of the books at the hotel and I found that
Giles: (reads it over) Good lord
Xander: (sighs) Ok, research party

Spike had to turn away from the scene of him attempting to harm Buffy, this is what pained him the most, he looked at Tara, tears glistening in his blue eyes.
Spike: Why was I able to hurt her?
Tara: (looks at him) It was a test
Spike: a test?
Tara: I was a test to see if you could still love her even without the chip, when this happened (motions to the scene before them) we thought that we had lost you, but you did what we had expected you to do, you got your soul
Spike: How did the demon know I went for my soul and not the chip?
Tara: The powers work in strange ways Spike, all I can tell you is you told the demon you wanted your soul, you wanted to return to your former self.
Spike looked at the scene and back at Tara.
Spike: I want to know what the choices are, I've seen enough
Tara: Have you?
Then the scene changed to Buffy sitting on the boat in sobs, Spike knew that was after he had staked himself. he allowed Tara to go on with the scenes which had changed into Buffy's memories of him.

Buffy closed another book and looked at Giles.
Buffy: Nothing
Giles: I assure you, I know I have a volume on Uther, the first Vampire
Buffy: Is there anyway that the book Willow was looking at was that volume and Wesley must have borrowed it or something?
Giles: (takes off glasses) That is possible yes, I saw we should Call Wesley and ask him if I could have it back
Buffy: No, that would mean LA people coming here...
Giles: Dawn is coming home tomorrow right? We'll just ask her to bring it with her
Buffy: Ok, (looks at Anya) Have you called them yet?
Anya: (shakes head no) I will now, (looks at Giles) The prophecies on Uther right?
Giles nodded and Anya went to the phone.
Willow: (to Xander) So have you thought up any names yet?
Xander: Huh?... oh not really, you can ask Anya though... I'm sure she already has a whole list (grins happily)
Willow and Buffy smiled at Xander.
