Gorgeous peek into Spike's healing process, and how his personal circumstances influenced the end of season 2.
Spike proved himself to be a fan favorite villain the moment he smashed through the Sunnydale sign. But we the audience didn't connect with him as a character until he was in that wheelchair. Terrific story that captures the beginning of his journey.
If things went according to plan, it wouldn't be Spike.
This is a very good description of what might have been going through Spike's mind during that time. Great characterization.
