Spike cuts out after Buffy-Bot praises him, leaving Willow to explain the cranky. Giles "trains" BuffyBot. Razor (biker demon) gets word Slayer's gone. Willow knifes a fawn. Gang finds Giles' note. 'Bon Voyage' Giles at the airport. Scoobies start the spell. Razor slashes BuffBot, she runs to Willow for repairs, interrupting the spell. The gang flees, not knowing that the spell has worked, and Buffy's just come to life in her coffin.

Memorable Moments:

• Giles & Spike sharing a laugh over the "operating heavy machinery" bit & Spike's almost-friendly cuppa-tea taunt after he torches the sumo-vamp.
• The proud & triumphant: "That'll put marzipan in your pie plate, bingo!"
• Spike Dawn-sitting: Spike catching himself on the school put-down & the controlled emotion of "not leaving you to get hurt. not again"
• Xander being the voice of reason & caution, Willow getting all teary eyed as they discuss bringing Buffy back.
• BuffyBot's sad confusion that Spike doesn't seem to like her anymore; Willow's double-entendre: "I'm gonna make you good as new".
• Giles' revelatory chat with the BuffyBot, the good-bye scene at the airport.
• Willow's little snake conjuring act. Ick!
