(Also, he wanted somewhere to accrue nicknacks and plan his not-so-nefarious schemes with a glass of bourbon, listen to his ugly music and read his smelly books.)
Of course he does. A man doesn't need to be undead to need a man-cave.
Oh, damn, it's fake-old-Xander-demon! Hold fast, Xander! Don't be an idiot! (I always yell at Xander when I watch Hell's Bells.)
Yayy, Xander pulls through! And Buffy won him over with TALKING! And Spike killed the fake-old-Xander like the marvelous killinating thing he is.
But the detail that makes it perfect? Kate giving Uncle Rory what for. Because it's smiling and nodding at his family that has done so much damage to Xander in the first place. Somebody needs to stand up to them and call them on their crap behavior. Xander may not be up to that yet, but as long as Kate gets the ball rolling, and as long as Xander isn't wallowing in stood-up-my-bride-at-the-alter-ness, he may just get there someday. Which would be almost as impressive a redemption as Spike's is.
Wonderful tale, my friend. I enjoyed the whole exciting ride.
