I really like how different Xander & Spike's relationship is than canon.  At least there's a couple positives about this dimension! LOL   And it's nice to see Dawn take some responsibility & do her job as a Slayer.  Was the knowing/helping with the Amy/Cathy situation the reason Amy & Warren felt they had a hold on Dawn? Or is there more?  Wouldn't surprise me, in this case.  Ooh!  & just where (or when) DID Spike get his soul?  Can't wait to find out!  & I like that Giles & Spike are gathering the troops to figure everything out.  Great chapter!
