That used to happen to me too with "Necessary Evils," but these last few chapters have been so intense. I end up thinking about the story in my free time sometimes, because I want to badly to find out what will happen next. The whole dechipping storyline just has me fascinated--it's exactly what I wished ME would have done, and Barb handles it so well. She explores the real ambiguities and also possibilities in Spike's nature and his relationship with Buffy, instead of judging him "evil" and the relationship "impossible" like ME does. And her dark Willow is much more interesting than ME's--she doesn't have the convenient "addict" excuse; she's really out of control because she thinks she's doing the right thing.

The story was always good, but lately it's been amazing.

Quick summary: After his confrontation with Willow made Spike realize his infatuation for Buffy was merely a cover for his deep-seated lust for Willow, he's headed back to L.A. to keep an appointment with the demon surgeon who did James's little heart operation--object, sexual reassignment. Meanwhile, D'Hoffryn offers Buffy several attractive 401K plans if she'll relocate to Arashmahar, and Giles and Xander make plans to break their surprising news to Anya.

(Actually I frequently forget what's happening in it myself...)
