Sleeper as well, with all the focus on Spike's hip bones and the sheet revealing just enough. I know Spike does sleep naked, but it still feels too much of a wink at the audience for me. Spike sprawled on the bed smoking, it felt like a set-up for female viewers IMO.
You hear of it as a good episode, but never spoken of as one of the greats. But I think it's one of the best arc episodes they ever did. DG stomps all over something like Tough Love if you compare episodes near the build-up to the end.
