Actually, I don't. Care to remind me?
How can you forget that scene? Angel chained up and shirtless? Dru pouring holy water on him while talking about her family and watching smoke rising off his burning flesh?
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I am not sure I have seen it. I came in on S6 and have watched nearly every episode since then, but I have missed a few.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I looked up the scene in the script. I am not sure I watched all of Part 2. Drusilla is dealing with a souled Angel in this scene, and it seems to me that she is trying to torture him with his misdeeds. Is there any example of her speaking to Angelus in that way?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dru was mad at Angel. She seemed pretty happy with Angelus.

Plus, the more similarities, the more chance for Angel getting REALLY pissy. Which? Funny.
Yes, this is what I was trying to say. Thank you, ita.

Actually, it seemed like Buff did get a powerup when she got vamped in "Nightmares". She thrashed the Monster!Coach pretty easily, compared to her initial dustup with him. 'Course, it's hard to tell the difference between VampAmped!Buffy and JustifiedEndOFight!Buffy, so...
There's some support for the Slayer strength being a structural change rather than a supernatural addon. Giles had to drug her her to weaken her for the Cruciamentum, rather than relying on a magical de-enhancement. Circumstantial, but evidence none-the-less.

I'd chalk that up to Giles and his fellow Watchers not being powerful (or unwise) enough to tamper with the mystical forces behind the Slayer. Medical exams, including a hospital stay in "Killed by Death" and the lengthy trip to a sanitarium revealed in "Normal Again," never revealed anything physically remarkable about Buffy.

Technically when she is in the sanitarium she is no longer the slayer, just normal Buffy Summers who has gone crazy.

No, she revealed that she was committed for a time in the real world after burning down the gym at Hemery High. That would have been post-Choosing.
