Lover's Walk

I reached episode 8 of the third season of Buffy today. "Lover's Walk" become the 10th out of the 104 Buffy episodes I have rated so far to score a 10/10. It's perfect, especially for those who are into the show and care for its characters. Spike's reentry into the show is brilliant. His insight into the Buffy-Angel relationship lends itself to powerful dialogue. The vampire sitting at the breakfast table with the Slayer's Mom is one delightful scene. But best of all is of course, the exploration of the end of three relationships - Buffy-Angel, Willow-Oz and Xander-Cordy. Heartbreaking stuff :( Especially the new light cast on Cordy, foreshadowing the amazing character she will develop into in Angel.
