I'm pretty sure it was mentioned, although I don't have the time just now to Nilly.

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

However, I haven't been shown what Buffy sees in Spike.
I have. I'll have to think about it though to see if I can put it properly into words. (I also, btw, don't think you can look at any Buffy season in isolation-what Buffy sees in Spike includes what she came to see him in season 5, and the Spike she confided in in early season 6. The AR isn't the only thing in their history together.)
In the meantime, I liked that last scene between Buffy and Spike for two reasons. One, it wasn't about what was said; it was really about what Spike couldn't say, and Buffy wouldn't say. Spike, all his protestations to the contrary, is still in love with Buffy, and was looking for permission from Buffy to tell her so, and Buffy, aware of that, refused (for now anyway) to give it. And second, because Buffy's refusal to let Spike admit his true feelings is exactly what opens the door to the FE in the final scene when Spike is spying on Angel and Buffy. Spike claims he has no expectations, but that scene made clear he still has hopes. And jealousy, which the FE hopes to use to turn Spike yet, depends on hope.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
That would be a boring gig. IJS.
We theorize that the Guardians have a sewing circle while they wait. And a killer book club.

All is well that ends in pizza.

And now? Netflix.

"Go that way really fast, if something gets in your way turn!"
I have a question. Everyone either feels bad for Spike or thinks he should be killed. What's Angel gonna say when he finds out about Buffy and Spike? I mean with Anya floating around he's bound to become privy to that info!

I'm hoping for exploding head, myself.

Art Crawl!!!
Oh, right like Mr. "I had a child with my evil Sire" has a leg to stand on. . . of course, he can't tell Buffy that -- but it may prevent him from saying (much) about it.

I don't feel badly for Spike, nor do I think he's shown (recent) reason to be killed (and have that killing called "right" in the Buffyverse).

I'm with sumi. Buffy has Issues, sure. But he has Issues plus offsprung with Issues.
