Just finished watching "Lover's Walk" - and the writers basically drill it home in this episode.
There's this great exchange between Spike and Joyce, which in a way acts as an exchange between Joyce and Buffy - with Spike as the stand-in. It's also a brilliant critique of the Twilight/gothic genre.
Spike: We were supposed to be forever, I don't understand... Joyce: Sometimes two people can seem perfect for each other, but their lives take them on different paths and it just doesn't work...for example me and Buffy's father - Spike: But our love was different, it was Eternal!
Then later, Spike repeats it more or less to Buffy/Angel - stating : "You'll never be friends. You'll fight and you'll shag, you'll hate each other until it makes you quiver...but you can't be friends. Love isn't about brains children, it's about blood screaming inside you to work its will. I'm love's bitch but at least I'm man enough to admit it."
IT is the same exact speech that Doctor Platt gives Buffy in Beauty and the Beasts, except a bit more poetic and a lot funnier.
