The rest of the episode follows as it did.
Buffy brought the twice shaken Willow back to Giles' house; first Spike and now these army guys were back. Sure they lived on a Hellmouth but this was just ridicules! Hell could just give it a rest for a while once every so often!
Once the impromptu Scooby meeting was over, Buffy and Angel could finally get back to their weekend only to find themselves continually interrupted by both Dawn and Giles. Resigned to their fate, the now fairly annoyed couple left the house for a quick patrol before Angel dropped Buffy back at Giles' house - she still wasn't quite comfortable calling it her house. Besides, she would only be there until just after Christmas and then would be back at the university with Willow. It would be hard work, but possible to get back on track. And she had three people to help her get through it.
In the here and now however, she could focus on her recently absent boyfriend. Angel had gone back to his old mansion, choosing to stay there by himself instead of attempting to persuade Giles otherwise. Giles may have known that sex was out of the question, but Buffy was practically his daughter and Angel really didn't want to get on his bad side!
They were able to spend the rest of the weekend together just like they used to before life became so much more complicated. The couple hunted demons between makeout sessions and snuggled on a sofa afterwards. Just for three days, real life took a back seat to everything else.
Angel Investigations was slowly getting there and Cordelia was even beginning to show signs of becoming a half decent filer. Buffy was able to start feeling better about going back to school after Christmas - Dawn would be happy and taken care of and not too far away for comfort.
All too soon it was Sunday evening. They had time for one last patrol together before Angel headed back to LA.
I'm not really too happy with this, but it will have to do…HELP!!
