Smashed

Buffy saves a woman from being mugged and although Spike tries to help, the human muggers are untouchable to him. They talk about their occasional habit of making out and Buffy denies that there be another repeat of that and leaves. Spike accuses her of teasing him, but he is confident she'll return when she figures out he's the only one out there for her. Still depressed over the loss of Tara, Willow is inspired to try and return Amy the rat back to her human form and uses her magic to bring the girl back.

Jonathan, Andrew and Warren break into a museum and steal a large diamond. They use a Freeze Ray to encase the security guard (and by accident, Jonathan's arm) in ice and escape. Willow fills Amy in on everything that's been going on while she has been a rat for so long. Buffy arrives and discovers Amy's return and also hears about the security guard that was frozen at the museum. Spike is waiting for Buffy outside the museum when she gets there to investigate the scene and they banter and fight. Spike hits Buffy and he's shocked when the chip doesn't go off, but pretends it does anyway and she leaves with a final insult.

Excited about the opportunity to hurt humans again, Spike tries to attack a woman on the streets, but his chip stops him. Tara and Dawn spend some time together and Tara tries to explain the necessity for her leaving. Dawn doesn't blame her and subtly mentions that Willow has been not so obsessive with magic lately. The Scooby gang meets at the magic shop for updates on the frozen security guard and research. Just when it looks like Willow has returned to a bit of her computer roots, she uses magic to operate her computer and this disturbs her friends. They mention her breakup with Tara, but Willow brushes it off and returns to Amy at the house.

Spike goes to the threesome of geeky villains and demands that they examine his chip to see what's causing him so much trouble. When the chip appears to be in perfect working order, Spike concludes that Buffy is the problem. Amy wants to get out of the house and persuades Willow to join her for some actual fun. Tara brings Dawn home and although she wants to leave to avoid Willow's return, Dawn convinces her to stay.

Willow continues to tell Amy of all the latest news of Sunnydale while they play pool using magic. A couple of guys want to dance with the girls and Amy tries to encourage Willow by putting a spell on a nearby woman, but Willow doesn't like the idea. Later, when the two guys find Amy and Willow chatting, they make a rude comment to Willow that results in the guys locked in cages, dancing in their underwear. At the magic shop, the gang is fed up with trying to find the demon responsible for freezing the security guard and talk about Willow using too much magic, instead. Spike calls and cryptically tells Buffy to meet him at the cemetery.

She runs into Spike on the streets later that night and he taunts her into hitting him. Given the motivation, he hits her back and happily informs her that he felt nothing and she came back from hell not completely human. The fight continues inside of an old abandoned building as Buffy continues to deny the possibility and Spike reassures her it's true. Meanwhile, Willow and Amy go crazy with magic at the Bronze until they get bored and decide to find somewhere else to have fun.

Buffy and Spike continue their fight, throwing punches and verbal attacks at each other all the while weakening the building by knocking into the walls and support beams. Just as the fight reaches an intense peak, Buffy switches the game and kisses Spike. Their fighting takes on another form as they kiss viciously and very obviously have sex, ignoring the fact that the building is collapsing around them. Even when they fall through the floor of one level and land on the one below, they don't stop.
