What, btw, is Wenda's un-sayable "U word"? (if it isn't spoilery)

There was a little conversation in spoilers Monday & Tuesday, where Buffy was called a manipulative bitch, and then that got downgraded to user, which is the U-word to which Wenda's referring.

The doctors told me to stop talking about it, in order to avoid popping any more blood vessels.

I think Joyce in CWDP was a plot point they dropped, frankly. Just a cache of foreshadowing in case they needed it.

Err, no, it's not spoilery, but it probably is best not brought up again, for the sake of peace, love, and lowercase harmony.

I have my own belief about that, which amych knows, and that might surprise some of you. Were I not lazy, I'd pull it from my chat logs.

pretty please with your new portmanteau on top?

Trudy, I was bitching all day Monday about Buffy being a user because she was all "I'm cookie dough" then she was all snuggly with Spike. I'd refer you to the Spoiler Topic for the discussion except that there are Angel spoilers there.

I'm working on getting over it because I've decided that Buffy loves Spike and they had sex. So it wasn't the U-word. It was her just trying to get rid of Angel. Don't disabuse me of this notion until either Cindy's BP goes down or she's drunk.

The Buffy outfit made me wonder whether that was one night or 2. That is-- She and Spike went to bed. She woke up with an idea. In the morning she told the potentials about it. That night they played D & D and Buffy and Spike walked toward each other. The NEXT morning, they went to the school.

But I am not sure.

Caroma - sorry I didn't get a chance to say Happy Birthday in the flurry of activity yesterday. I hope it was a great one.

I am really having focus issues today. I keep going over the paths each of our beloved characters followed over the years. Their growth. Their pain. Their joy. I’m just overwhelmed.

Oh, and I think I said bitca, not bitch.

Sophia, precise timelines and Joss are not the best of friends.

Ah, thanks Wenda.

(Basic chatty stuff about my discomfort for the reasons previously mentioned with the idea of Spuffy, segued into some people would...) be shocked to learn that I firmly believe they had offscreen comfort sex before the big blow up.

So, yeah. That's what I got from the scene, or at least some making out.
