Love Dares You, Part Two is the twelfth issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten comic book series. Joss Whedon is the executive producer.

Synopsis[]

Buffy and her crew are on the cusp of some monumental relationship stuff, but entanglements are waylaid when they're forced to fight a new evil and the flesh homunculi he creates...[1]

Continuity[]

  • Buffy and Spike recall their relationship before he had a soul, which began in "Smashed" and ended in "As You Were".
  • Spike reveals he is aware of Xander and Buffy's conversation in Retreat, Part Three, and her sexual encounter with Satsu ("Wolves at the Gate").
  • Spike mentions Angel working as a private investigator, and his sexual encounter with Buffy in Twilight, Part Three.
  • Buffy recalls her time as a Doublemeat Palace employee.
  • Buffy and Spike, knocking into the walls in Xander and Spike's apartment, mirrors their first sexual encounter in "Smashed".
  • Giles, Xander, and Dawn play Pimp Slap IV, the same game as in "New Rules".
  • Buffy and Spike have sex for the first time since "As You Were". It is the first time since after he got his soul ("Grave"), though it is implied they may have slept together in "Chosen" the night before the big fight in the Hellmouth.
  • Spike admits to himself of being afraid to fall asleep because Buffy might not be there when he wakes up. Buffy herself had suffered the same fear with Angel ("Innocence") and Parker ("The Harsh Light of Day"). Riley was the first to be by her side the morning after ("The I in Team"), followed by Spike after they had sex in the abandoned house. ("Wrecked")
  • While Buffy is sleeping, Spike says "Nothin' could ruin this", reminiscent to Buffy and Angel's dialog in bedroom in "I Will Remember You".
  • Spike's nightmare in which he feeds on a couple is reminiscent of Angel's nightmares in "Somnambulist". Both ensouled and working on the good side, they are regardless haunted by visions of being turned back to their latent evil, sadistic, bloodthirsty selves.
