L'unico
episodio della terza stagione in cui appare Spike è 3.08 Lovers Walk (Il
sentiero degli amanti)
Nonostante
la promessa di non ritornare mai più a Sunnydale Spike ritorna alcuni mesi più
tardi, ubriaco e senza solo. Dru l'ha mollato per un demone del Chaos e vuole
che Willow gli faccia un incantesimo d'amore che gli consenta di riaverla
indietro.

Pensa
che tutta la colpa del fatto che Dru lo abbia lasciato sia da addossare a
Buffy ed Angel ed è deciso a vendicarsi.
A:
Spike.
Joyce: Oh, my God. Get out of here.
S: Yeah. You're not invited.
J: He's crazy. He'll kill us.
S: Not while I breathe. Well, actually, I don't breathe.
A: Joyce, listen to me.
J:
You get out of this house, or I will stake you myself.
S: You're a very bad man.
A: Joyce, you can't trust him. Invite me in. You touch her, and I'll cut
your head off.
S: Yeah? You and what army?
B: That would be me. Angel, why don't you come on in?
Per
convincere Willow a realizzare l'incantesimo Spike rapisce lei e Xander e li
nasconde nella vecchia fabbrica. Willow ha bisogno di alcuni ingredienti così
Spike, Angel e Buffy vanno a prenderli nel negozio di magia ma i tre sono
costretti a combattere contro un gruppo di vampiri.

S: Look, I just need a few supplies, and then I'll take you to... Oh,
God.
B:
What's wrong? Not that I care.
S: Oh... My head. I think I'm sobering up. It's horrible. Oh, God. I
wish I was dead.
B: Well, if you close your eyes and wish real hard...
S: Hey! Back off!
A: Buffy, we still need him to find the others.
B: Need him? He's probably just got them locked up in the factory.
S: Well, hey, how thick do you think I am?
B: Your
work?
S: Here's your list.
B: Spike can get the rat's eyes
S: I used to bring her rats. With the morning paper.
B:
Great. More moping. That's gonna get her back.
S: The spell's gonna get her back.

S: What do you know? It's your fault, the both of you! She belongs with
me. I'm nothing without her.
B: That I'll have to agree with. You're pathetic, you know that? You're
not even a loser anymore, you're a shell of a loser.
S: Yeah. You're one to talk.
B:
Meaning?
S: The lost time I looked in you two, you were fighting to the death.
Now you're back making googly-eyes at each other like nothing happened. Makes me
want to heave.
B: I
don't know what you're talking about.
S:
Oh, yeah. You're just friends.
A: That's right.
S:
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it
kills you both. You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till
it makes you quiver, but youìll never be friends. Love isn't brains, children,
it's blood... blood screaming inside you to work its will.
I may
be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.
B:
Okay, Spike, we got the stuff. Where are they?
S: What's your hurry?
B: My hurry is my intense desire to get you out of my life. You tend to
cause trouble.
S: I'll be out of your life in a few short hours. No trouble at all.
Lenny:
Hello, Spike.
B:
No trouble at all.
S:
Lenny. How have you been?
L: Better since you left. You should have stayed gone.
S: Is that right?
B: You know, he was just leaving. Don't you start anything.
S:
This pissant used to work for me.
B:
The guys are in trouble. We can't risk this.
A:
Look, I don't think we have a choice.
L: You other two can walk away from this.
S:
I die, your chums die.
B:
Sorry. We're staying
Dopo
la battaglia Spike prende la sua decisione:
"I'm
going to find her, wherever she is, tie her up, torture her, till she likes me
again."
