Other answers to questions – Spike’s trigger song was simply
picked at random and it will in no way play an important part in upcoming
episodes this season. Or, perhaps, something else is true.
The Watcher’s Council blew up. They all died. Sorry for any confusion.
And we’ve got some good stuff for Xander coming up. In fact, we just
shot a Xander scene that gave me chills to watch. Speaking as a longtime
fan of this show, I think there are some things in it that’ll make
you happy.
You guys rule. This zombie stuff is really helpful. I don’t want
to give away too much, but in episode 13 we may see a zombie fight a shark.
Yes, it’s been done before – it may even be a little clichéd
– but I think you’ll find we’ve got a twist on it that
makes it all worthwhile.

Today at the Buffy studios in Santa Monica, they were filming a nighttime
graveyard scene. The tarp covering half of the fence has come down, so
passersby have a fairly good view into the complex. The front parking
lot had been turned into a graveyard. Our correspondent in Santa Monica
didn't have a clear view of everything going on, but Sarah Michelle Gellar
and Michelle Trachtenberg were there (wearing dark colored coats) and
at least one of the SITs. One thing being filmed was fight sequence with
a teenage girl, with red hair pulled back in a ponytail (who we're assuming
is one of the SITs, but our correspondent didn't recognize her).

Basics:
Giles arrives with three SITs (Slayers in Training). The first has been
tracking slayers and killing them. All SITs are now heading toward Sunnydale.
Annabelle dies. Molly and Kennedy are the other two - one seems to have
a slight tiff with Buffy for not killing Faith, so there is tension. I
think she is the next destined slayer. She seems sort of a lot like Buffy.
I think some people may know this already, but the script wants you to
believe that Giles is dead. It says something like:
[WARNING: Pay CLOSE attention to GILES. Don't let him TOUCH anyone or
anything. Be aware of this at ALL times.]
This could either mean
1) He's really dead and is in the 1st Evil form.
2) The writer's just want us to think he's dead, so they're careful that
he doesn't come in contact with anything.
Personally, I think Giles is alive and kicking, but that's just because
I love him so.
Spike: Tortured by "Nosferatu" and the First talks to him in
the form of Dru. Spike seems very much saner in this episode, clear headed.
Dialogue about how much he is trying to change for Buffy (which I'll get
later). The poor guy gets completely mauled in this episode - worse than
what Glory did to him. I hear there's some pretty sick and violent stuff
that might not even get to air. It doesn't look like he get rescued in
this episode, but he most likely will in the next. But that doesn't mean
Buffy doesn't try.
I don't have much on the gang (Will, Xander, Anya), except they pretty
much play their typical comedic sidekick rolls. I don't have any info
on Dawn, which doesn't bother me because I personally find her dreadful
this season.
Giles sort of leads Buffy to the old x-mas lot in Amends. This is where
she gets her a$$ ALL kinds of kicked. It's not pretty. Annabelle dies
at the hands of the thing. The gang finds Buffy thrashed out of her mind.
She heals and does what Travers basically did and said their declaring
war on the first.
Andrew tells the gang about the seal in the school basement. No one is
there and the gang covers it up. There is a great scene with Principal
Wood and Buffy in the school halls.
I hear the end seems very over the top, as Buffy gives the gang a pep
talk of some sort. It's somewhat corny dialogue, but delivered right or
changed by SMG at the last second could make it right.

Joanna - Yes, Buffy does tell the SITs not to stake Spike if they see
him. She pretty much says something like, "Don't stake him, he's
our only link to the First."
Supposedly, she's not too worked up about Spike's disappearance. She's
not really "We have to save him!" but more "he's our only
link, yada yada"... this is what my source says anyway, and he's
not the biggest Spuffy shipper. He's not anti, but he's not a huge fan.
So there may be more emotion or worriedness in her voice (us Spuffers
tend to view things in a more pro-S/B light ). I can guarentee it's a
wonderfully Spuffilicious episode though.
Also another intersting thing: there's some hints that Willow might hook-up
with one of the SITs. Kennedy, I think. I guess you can defintely feel
the vibes between them.

me in the Crypt of Decryption:
Sweetie has posted information on Fan Forum that confirms much of what
my anonymous source reported regarding episode 10. I have some additional
details:
Joyce appears twice to Buffy in her dreams. In the first dream, Buffy
believes her mother is the First. In the second dream, Joyce tells Buffy
that evil cannot be defeated. It is everywhere.
Buffy seems worried about Spike. Not excessively, but she knows
the First has him, and she wants to get Spike away from the First.
I also have some information on episode 11:
Juliet Landau
does not appear in episode 11, nor does the Master.
The SiTs are demoralized by the events of the previous episode and are
egged on by a troublemaker.
Giles and Anya seek information from a supernatural source who tells them
that the reason why the First is acting now is because of a vulnerability
in the Slayer line.
Spike continues to resist the First, who is tormenting him in the form
of Buffy. However, at the end of the episode, Buffy comes for Spike. This
is not a long, actiony scene but rather something short, quiet and sweet.
And some information on episode 12:
This episode takes place some time after 11, as Spike has mostly healed
and is helping Buffy train the SiTs.
When Buffy thinks she's hurt Spike during a training demonstration, their
closeness is obvious, especially to the SiTs. Later, when talking to another
character, she indicates she knows her relationship with Spike is over,
but that confuses her.
Willow does
a spell to locate a Potential Slayer in Sunnydale, and the signs point
to Dawn, who bravely faces her destiny.
We've seen the sides showing that Buffy and Spike take the SiTs to a demon
bar. Well, of course, everyone's favorite demon, Clem, is there.
Drew Goddard indicated at the Bronze Beta that a scene had been filmed
with Xander that gave him chills and would please longtime fans. My source
suggests the scene is probably the final scene of the episode, where Xander
talks with Dawn. It's apparently a beautiful scene very true to Xander's
character, where he discusses how he has been part of the Scoobies for
seven years but never had superpowers like all the others. Dawn tells
him he is special even without superpowers. This is very much a Xander-Dawn
bonding scene.
