yeah -- it really helps if you can see the Angel ep that goes w/ it -
kinda helps explain Spike's little monologue-ish bit at the beginning of "Wild at Heart" --
i mean - it's not completely necessary to know what happened on Angel - unless you want to know what happened to the ring - b/c of the way they ended Buffy - she's sending the ring to Angel - the end ---
but Spike is in that Angel ep (sorry, don't remember the ep title) - good a reason to watch as any!
really - i like Angel too, but Spike's my fave character --
