su_herald | The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Thursday, January 31

MINION: My master has the Slayer's sister hostage at the Bronze because she summoned him and at midnight he's going to take her to the underworld to be his queen.
GILES: What does he want?
MINION: (indicates Buffy) Her.
SPIKE: (scoffs) If that's all you've got to say, then-
Spike tries to grab the minion but he breaks free and runs off.
SPIKE: (surprised) Strong. Someday he'll be a real boy.
