Review of Crush

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Crush (2001)
Season 5, Episode 14
7/10
Buffy Learns the Truth
24 January 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Buffy finally catches wind of Spike's feelings for her and is deeply disturbed by them. Love is in the air though as Dawn has a bit of a crush on Spike, Harmony is in love with him, and Dru comes back into town. It's all a very complicated web.

If you enjoy BTVS for its action and slaying, this isn't the episode for you. This one's Spike-centric, focusing on his complicated feelings for Buffy and how this combats his instincts as a vampire. Things only get worse when Dru decides to poke her head in and ask Spike to return to LA with her. Her body has a few scars from her last run in with Angel but she's still as kooky as ever (one of my favorite characters in the Buffy-verse). I forgot how much I enjoy her and Spike's rapport.

A great episode if you're into the romance portion of this show, but less exciting for the action-seekers.
