LA's second ensouled vampire, Spike, may once again find himself pressed into leadership in Angel's absence. His own unsuccessful attempt to break away and start his own team may have ended badly, but maybe he still has what it takes...

Either way, Spike is still hurting from the loss of the one girl he'd come to love since Buffy, the Slayer-turned-vampire Skye.

Only then did Spike realise how he truly felt about her...
