More Prophecy From The Oracle

The Oracle has posted again at the Cross and Stake Message Board. I'm actually giving these spoilers a bit more credibility than the Oracle has, it completely fits the info that I received yesterday.

MAYBE TRUE, MAYBE NOT...

Episode 1

UPDATED - Spike is already back in Sunnydale and struggling with his new soul. Gone is the crypt and supposedly his all-bleached locks, Spike finds brooding/living space under the new high school.

UPDATED - Dawn gets trapped under the new high school. But it's the Scooby Gang to the rescue. Oh yeah...and Spike helps too.

NEW - The resurrection of Sunnydale High brings the past back to life and Buffy faces those she didn't save.

UPDATED - A new possible big bad makes an appearance in Sunnydale...but just wait until you see what it looks like. (No, it's not Tara and it's not Spike.)

NEW - Something big begins to develop on the Hellmouth, something so big that Willow can sense it from across the world.

Episode 2

NEW - Willow reluctantly leaves England behind so she can return to Sunnydale. Giles doesn't go with her.

Clarification on Spike info...

As the information states, the change in hair color is *supposedly* a change and it's not a complete change. From what I hear, it's a "James during the summer" look with the dark roots and bleached tips. Filming has not begun and something like hair color can be changed. Nothing to freak out over just yet, just things going around the grapevine.

As for the wording in the previous spoiler where a "blond" (aka Spike, since exactly *how* many unique blond vampires help the Scooby Gang?), this information came later than that. Wording has been changed accordingly.

I'm going to fill in a few more details for 'Lessons', I should let you know that this is detailed episode spoilage. This may also change before the episode airs, but I'm convinced enough of the validity of the source to post it. You have been warned...

- Dawn discovers Kit in the bathroom, freaking out because she's just seen a dead person - Dawn and Kit are surrounded by 'dead people' in the bathroom, somehow they end up in the basement of the High School - There, they meet up with Carlos. Buffy eventually ends up there as well - The 'Dead People' have been raised by a talisman, which is located back on the ground level of the school - Buffy figures out, while still in the basement, that the talisman is the power source. She phones Xander on her cellphone - Xander breaks the talisman, removing the threat to those in the basement - When the 'dead people' vanish, Buffy comments that the talisman must have been broken - Dawn asks her how she knew it was a talisman, Buffy thinks about her encounter with Spike (I'm presuming based on the Oracle's info, that it was a face to face encounter), but only tells Dawn that "it's always a talisman" - Principal Wood is impressed that Buffy managed to get the 'three troublemakers to actually go to class', offers her a job at the school. Buffy accepts (but the position is vague at this point)

The New York Daily News is reporting that Anthony Stewart Head is signed for a minimum of 10 episodes.

To back up what the Oracle said, I've heard a report that both the Crypt and the Magic Box sets have been torn down. Supposedly, it's to make room for the High School sets. I have no firm confirmation on this, so I'm passing it along as rumors at this point. In addition, there may have been at least one scene filmed at the end of the last season, which is when the Scoobie's go to Spike's crypt and discover he has moved out. If I had to rank them as spoilers, I would list them as 'possible'. In fact, I might very well do that when I update the spoilers tonight.
