Willow restored Bianca's soul back, the group saw as her reflection returned in the mirror. It wasn't always easy, being a vampire with a soul. Angel came back, helped her adjust. Fortunately Bianca had Kendall, Willow, and Miranda. But Bianca would get to see Miranda grow up, protect her, at least at night. During daylight hours, Miranda had the rest of her family to protect her. Bianca learned to eat animal blood provided by a bartender known as "Willy the snitch," Willy, and the owners of butcher shops and meat-packing plants, were fine with keeping vampires from going after live human blood. Resisting human blood was a daily struggle for Bianca, but her friends and family helped. There were moments, when she had to leave Miranda with them, for fear what she would do, but they were understanding. Someday, Bianca wanted to marry Willow. The courts barely recognized same-sex marriages, much less one between a human and a vampire, but these two planned to always be together. Bianca feared that while she remained young and beautiful, Miranda would grow old and die. She didn't want to think about that for now, she wanted to live in the moment. Kendall and Ben eventually got married, and had a child. Ben was okay with Kendall naming their son Spike, considering the sacrifice he'd made for them. Bianca realized she could protect her family over the centuries, this gave her a purpose for her un-life.
