==Notes and trivia==
* Unlike Angel, Spike never really repented for his misdeeds and did not turn good of his own volition - though in time, Spike would come to be a more heroic individual. Though he regained his soul, Spike loved Buffy even without it. Even after they broke up, Spike and Buffy actually maintained a friendship after their relationship ended in between Season 11 and Season 12, with possibility at having a serious one someday into the future.
