Sleeper (7.8)

New spoilers from the Oracle over at the Cross and Stake....poor
Spike!

The "shapeshifter" is really The First. Supposedly a big bad of the
season. (Although not necessarily *the* big bad of the season.) Yet
again, it takes on Buffy's form in this episode while at a mall with
Spike. Meanwhile, the real Buffy's searching for Spike and the two
versions of Buffy yet again confuse him.

UPDATED! - Spike feeds from and turns several people. But, not on his
own. He is being manipulated by The First and forced to kill since
the First can't actually do it (the First can't take solid form). The
fresh young vampires Spike created group together and attack Buffy.
He then breaks down and begs the real Buffy to help him and she
*tries*. (All of this info is very difficult to be sure about since
there is a real Spike and a "First" version of Spike in the episode
much as there are "First" versions of other characters. Still,
judging from the plot, it's *somewhat* clear that although the real
Spike is the physical body that does the killings, the real Spike
isn't doing it of his own control and doesn't want to be hurting
anyone.)

Episode Nine

While the gang tries getting to the bottom of Spike's recent bad
behavior, they intercept and interrogate an up-to-no-good Andrew,
which leads to an intense showdown between the gang and The First
along with the international entity responsible for the slayer
killings all over the world.

BUFFY AND THE GANG GET ROUGH, VERY ROUGH, WITH SPIKE AND ANDREW TO
DISCOVER THE TRUTH BEHIND THE EVIL FORCES PREYING ON THEM.

After giving Spike a brutal third degree about his recent malevolent
deeds, Buffy and the gang then kidnap and grill Andrew in a desperate
effort to learn more about the growing evil forces that surround them
all.

Noted Actor Harris Yulin returns as Quentin Travers of the Watcher’s =
Council. David Solomon directed the episode from a script by Drew
Goddard.

At the same time, Buffy urgently contacts the Watcher’s Council to
try to locate Giles in hopes that he may have some answers about the
deadly, ever-encroaching evil.

Travers isn't the only watcher to return, as Phillip who was
in 'Checkpoint' is also in the cast list. This does point to Giles
still being in England at this point, which further strengthens the
rumors that he might be the one who brings the Slayers-In-Training
with him at the end of Episode 9, beginning of Episode 10. It also
shows that Andrew is going to be around for a while as well, so
perhaps 'Conversations With Dead People' will be Jonathan's swan song.

In addition, although the most recent batch of spoilers might raise
questions about how the Scoobies feel about Spike, I still advise
caution. What little I've heard still points to the Scoobies more
concerned that they need him and can't find him, rather than needing
to find him to stop or stake him.

They're going to need all the help they can find.
