At the end of Lessons, Spike is confronted by various manifestations in the form of previous big bads: The Master, Glory, Warren, Drusilla, Adam and the Mayor. The actors’ names were omitted from the guest stars list in the opening credits so as not to spoil the ending. Mark Metcalf (The Master), George Hertzberg (Adam), and Clare Kramer (Glory) were originally intended to return again by the end of the season, but they were unable to make their schedule work with the show. Harry Groener (The Mayor) filmed his segment three weeks after the other actors in that scene.

I really liked this bit in the episode. I was gobsmacked that they were all there. I loved it!

I thought this scene was wicked cool. I remember watching it the first time and getting shivers down my spine because it was so unexpected! Brilliant.

That scene was one of the most exciting moments of the series for me, as far as the first time seeing it. It was so unexpected and just awesome. The way that all six of them act so much in character is another great testiment to Joss Whedon, as this may not have been the case with any other writer.
