Whoa, that was a real rollercoaster of a chapter. Spike is a manipulative git making it very clear that Clem was responsible for making sure Xander got into the pool. And I was so proud of the boy, when he made it.

It's funny how Tara is so much more realistic than Xander, after all he's been through, he's still so naive in some ways.

Lilah was her usual bitchy self and I love that Angelus took as much pleasure baiting her as Spike did.

One thing...“Well, you did forget to call him Master. Spike does stand on ceremony about the oddest things.” Hmm, how did Angelus know that? Does he have Spike's office bugged?

Yay, Larry's alive. Rushes off to catch up on the next chapter!
