Crush is about Buffy becoming aware of Spike's obsession for her, through Dawn and then by a date like stakeout scenario.

Definitely the best episode since season three, with Boreanaz. Why it took so long for Spike to feel this way and why Buffy never realized, I don't know but it's amusing and expected. Someone said in a review that Drusilla was the one that killed the people on the train, that didn't cross my mind as I wasn't caring about anything but Buffy and Spike, but that makes sense. He chained up Buffy to force her to have to listen to him. I especially love the initial scene at the bronze where Spike just sits down and starts conversing and then obviously the stakeout, hilarious. Sarah alluring as ever. Glory isn't in this episode, Riley's gone and Tara isn't in much, all pluses. Dawn's likable here also.
