Day 20: Best Spike-centric Episode
Beneath You.
This may not be the first episode to pop to mind when people think “Spike-centric”. No, it’s not exactly centered around Spike but it’s an extremely important episode for his character development. James gives such a powerful performance. Buffy finally starts to see what she really means to Spike. He wasn’t aiming for a soul…but he fights through it.
Plus Crazy!Spike is such fun.

“Buffy, shame on you. Why does a man do what he mustn’t? For her. To be hers. To be the kind of man who would nev— To be a kind of man. And she shall look on him with forgiveness… and everybody will forgive and love. He will be loved. So everybody’s okay, right? C-can we rest now? Buffy? Can we rest?”
Honorable mentions: Fool For Love. Something Blue.
