The first thanksgiving has Xander at yet another job in construction as he digs on a site and falls through a hole into an ancient burial ground. Releasing a native American spirit setting out to avenge his people. For me the episode tries to plan on guilt for wrongs done in the past as Buffy & Willow grieve for the lost tribe not able to accept it lead to a better country today. Yet as it was stated by Spike it's the natural order of the universe where the stronger wipes out the weaker and establishes an empire. Now the spirit may feel justifiable in his actions but he chose to keep the wounds unhealed and murder innocent people who had nothing to do with a crime committed centuries ago. Angel is back hiding in the shadows watching his beloved without letting her know leaving in doubt his motivations. Did he hear word she was in danger from the Indian ghosts or that she would be outnumbered and came to lend a hand is anyone's guess.
Another aspect is it plays for humor as Spike is riddled with arrow, criticized their defense and tries to scoot is chair out of danger. I nearly lost it as he appeared as a poor begged in robe to watch his homies feasting on a victim and thinking of his glory days. While it's all for laughs I hope it isn't a trend as I like my spike served evil.
