(Title card: "Sunnydale, California, The Hellmouth, Nineteen Days Earlier")

(we see an abbreviated version of the Spike Saves the World scene from Chosen. Cut to Angel's office)

SPIKE: What...what...

HARMONY: What the hell are you doing here, Spike?

WESLEY: Harmony, please.

GUNN: This is Spike? *The* Spike?

FRED: Wait a minute. Who's—

LORNE: (reassuring Spike) Easy, slim. Easy. No one's gonna hurt you.

GUNN: Speak for yourself, green jeans.

FRED: OK, would somebody please tell me who—

WESLEY: William the Bloody. He's a vampire. One of the worst recorded. Second only to—

ANGEL: Me. But you're dead.

HARMONY: Well, yeah. Who here isn't? Besides him (to Wes) and him (to Gunn) and her (to Fred) and... (to Lorne) What are you again?

(Spike vamps, lunges at Angel, but goes right through him. He ends up embedded hip-deep in Angel's desk)

SPIKE: Bugger.

(credits)

SPIKE: What? What's happened to me?

HARMONY: Well, I'm no doctor, but I think you're a ghost.

SPIKE: I'm no—I'm no bloody ghost.

HARMONY: Hey, you're the one sticking out of a desk, pal. (angrily) And you can't talk to me like that. We're not going out anymore.

GUNN: Where'd he come from?

WESLEY: (RE: amulet) From this.

FRED: What is it?

ANGEL: Something I gave to Buffy before—

SPIKE: Buffy! Is she...?

ANGEL: She's OK.

SPIKE: Where—where is she?

ANGEL: Europe, last I heard from her.

SPIKE: Wanna see her... Wanna talk to her.

ANGEL: That's gonna be tough.

SPIKE: You can't keep her from me!

ANGEL: She's not mine to keep... or yours.

SPIKE: Says you. You got no idea what we had.

ANGEL: You never had her.

SPIKE: More than you, you poncy—

HARMONY: Oh...my...God! You and the slayer actually... I mean, I know you had that twisted obsession with her, but...yecch. That's just... yecch. (walks away, stops) I... yecch! (leaves)

SPIKE: I must be in hell.

LORNE: Uh, no. L.A., but a lot of people make that mistake.

FRED: (to Wes and Gunn) So Spike and Buffy are—

WESLEY: He was, um, an ally of hers for some time, at least that's what Angel told me. (pointedly) That's *all* Angel told me.

GUNN: So he's a good-guy vampire? Like Angel?

ANGEL: He's nothing like me.

SPIKE: Got that right. What have you done to me? What is this place?! Who are you people? What the bloody hell is happening?!
