Mini epiphany of the day.
Have been discussing 'what did Spike ask for - the chip out or his soul back?' in the AOQ 'Grave' thread, and the nay-sayers keep going on about the stupid dialogue and saying that there's no hint that Spike has asked for a soul (the fact that the thing was written to be as fuzzy as possible is lost on them). But... (from 'Villains'):
The Lurking demon says: "...and you have the audacity to crawl in here and demand restoration?"
The gypies re-souling spell is called 'The Ritual of Restoration.'
Now that is just... neat. :)

::nods a lot:: I love this line of Xander's:
"He doesn't have a soul, Buffy. Just some leash they jammed in his head. You think he'd still be all snuggles if that chip ever stopped working?"
Because Buffy knows the truth of it, which is that Spike *is* all snuggles without the chip (when she lets him). The chip is not a factor, really. Guess the writers were just too good at misdirecting for their own good.
(Also thanks for reading and commenting, all this time later!)
