I'll just say this here because, well, just because, but some Spuffy friends who've been trying to get me to love the ep insist that the flaming hands was a symbol of sex/passion.
Or it was a symbol of him, y'know, ending up in an ASHTRAY.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

FWIW, the novelization of S7 (Chosen, no author listed on cover) doesn't include any suggestion of S/B togetherness the night before the battle.

Lyra Jane, yeah, and it has Buffy thinking, as she overlooks the crater that was Sunnydale, "Cookie dough." Hee! The author is Nancy Holder.
Steph and Julie, if it were just Spike in flames, yeah, ashtray, hell, purifying fire and all that. But I was talking about Buffy and Spike holding hands that burst into flames. That's different.
Fun Fact: The flaming hands scene was shot a week or so after primary filming ended. Stunt hands, of course.

Still leads to an ashtray.

Jazz hands slide over.
Stunt hands stand in.
Whole other vibe!

Because the last time JM agreed to set his hand on fire (in Lover's WAlk) he actually got burned.
Joss for President?-I'm on board.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
But now I'm wondering, how did Spike get to the school? Was he on the bus, covered in blankets (or tucked in someone's backpack - he's quite compact, you know.) Or did he do the sewer tunnel thing and just popped up in the hallway? I can't really remember.
From what I could see, he just had his coat over his head. Don't know if you can see him in the outside shot, but inside you see him uncover his head.
