And I think it's not for nothing that we [almost] see Buffy dancing in TGIQ. For how many seasons we've seen this as a metaphor for the slayer/vampire relationship. There's something sexual and intimate here......Spike's been shown dancing with her, trying to stop her from dancing to death, to being too weary to dance...Angel doesn't 'dance' with Buffy, he's always shown watching....so through the metaphor we see how each relationship played out.

Then in TGIQ, Angel is shown afraid to dance(his curse) and Spike wants to go and rescue her as she dances....but she doesn't need rescuing. Her dance isn't with vampires anymore. She's just a young woman having fun. Both vampires want to continue in a relationship that we know doesn't work for any of them.

Only he was the predator then. And oooooh, he could have danced all night with Nikki. I think we have another leitmotif. :-)
