Spoiler Slayer

Limited info has come out for Episode Ten. Hercules has posted about it at 'Aint It Cool News' and at the Angel's Soul Spoiler Board, Denmaroca has also posted. Both excerpts follow.

Herc's Comments

* Spike will seem to be following in Angel's footsteps somehow, re-enacting Angel-ic rescues, including one involving evil vampires we might remember from 1.1.

* With minimal effort, Spike will rescue a cute twentysomething named Lana from another vampire, then mock her stupidity.

* The Blue Fairy from Pinnocchio will somehow appear to Spike and the rest of Team Angel (sans Angel himself), and offer to reward Spike's good deeds by transforming the gleeful blonde vampire “into a real boy.”

There's a scene set in a magical kingdom of sorts where the blue fairy with her magical CGI pixie dust gives Spike what he's apparently always wanted and makes him a real boy. (Some talk on the boards as to whether this is Spike's dream or Angel's nightmare.)

There's two scenes of Spike rescuing people being attacked by vampires. One recaps Angel's first such fight in City of.., right down to the double ratchet stakes up the sleeves staking and Spike walking away saying who he is doesn't matter. Then he turns saying what the hell and introduces himself with a handshake. The couple he rescues say they have to go to dinner. Spike thinks he's being invited (or he invites himself), but they demur - though they say 'thanks anyway'.

The third has him rescuing a girl, who he rips off for being stupid enough to walk through a dark alley alone at night.

At this time, I have not been able to confirm any of this through my own sources, but I have faith in both reports. I would agree with the common assessment that this is some sort of 'dream' episode. Could also explain the one report that I saw (but can't remember where), that a camel was on the set recently.
