Trivia
David Fury didn't like the direction the show was going in with regard to Buffy/Spike. To keep viewers from romanticizing their relationship too much, he inserted the line about Quasimodo being unable to truly love Esmeralda, which draws a parallel with Spike being unable to love Buffy without a soul.

Goofs
When then passenger train pulls into Sunnydale station, the station sign reads 683 miles to S F (San Francisco), and 682 miles to L A (Los Angeles). It is geographically impossible to be within California's borders and that far away from both cities.

Quotes
Spike: I love you.
Buffy Summers: Oh, my god.
Spike: Hey, no. Look at me. I... love you. You're all I bloody think about... dream about. You're in my gut... my throat... I'm drowning in you, Summers. I'm drowning in you.

Deeply in Love

While in the Bronze with Scooby Gang, Spike sees Buffy alone at a table and talks to her. However, Buffy sees Ben and stays with him. Meanwhile, a train arrives in Sunnydale with all the passengers dead. When Buffy sees that Dawn is hanging out with Spike, she asks if Dawn has a crush on Spike, and she tells that Spike is in love with her. When Spike confesses that he is in love with her, Buffy becomes nauseated, upset and rejects him. Meanwhile, Drusilla meets Spike, convinces him that the chip in his brain does not cause pain, and Spike is back.

In this great episode, Spike finally confesses that he loves Buffy. It is hilarious to see him playing sex games with Harmony dressed and acting like the slayer. I like very much the evil Drusilla and it was great to see her again with Spike. The reaction of Xander is also very funny. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Paixões" ("Passions")
