Lydia looks like she's just seen the Holy Grail.

Oh, snap! I love this interpretation of dear Lydia's obsession. (One that isn't terribly rare in these parts.)

Fabulous chapter! Not too talky at all. I'm so happy that we have an explanation for Pooh J. Bear!

And the gang saddles up. I like that it wasn't a gimme, but that they all seem to have accepted it in some way. I'm sure old ice-face has something nasty up her sleeve, though *bites nails*

"You! And Spike! You had sex!" he exclaims. Then his face drains of color. "You had sex in my sleeping bag!"

This is the best possible way this could come out, I think: Xander guessing for himself.

Also, yay for the crisis huddle and the big crisis sleepover. We're charging into the big finale, methinks.

That meeting went way better than I thought it would. Love how even though they are not doing the dance of joy they are still circling the wagons getting ready for the fight with Louhi.

The talk between Willow and Buffy was perfect and I'm so happy she gave Buffy the the herbs for the ritual, so it won't have to be a public ritual. I'm thinking we will be having a ritual in the next few chapters. Yea!

Loved this chapter!

Love the reference to The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe. At least, I think it was. Unless it also has something to do with torture.

Awesome chapters as usual. two updates in one day are always, always welcome!
