I can confirm that two of my industry sources had passed along the same information to me. I was just waiting to get another confirmation before posting the details myself. Although not directly mentioned in this information, I can almost confirm all the details on 'Him' as well. There will be a major move of spoilers to 'Nearly Confirmed' this evening.

However, as for the descriptions of Episode Seven and Eight, take them with a very large grain of salt. This wouldn't be the first time that information like this is misleading or even incorrect. You may remember that I fought long and hard against the 'Chip Malfunction' spoiler during the last November Sweeps, and was only vindicated when the wildfeed aired.

Now that I've seen the actual information, I can be much clearer on the spoilers that were posted yesterday. First, I'm skeptical of the Buffy/Spike spoilers, the Episode plot and the Spike/Big Bad spoilers. The Xander/Anya spoiler could very well be correct and it's pretty obvious that familiar faces will be present in the episode. Other rumors that I had heard match the mention of Buffy's 'Interview With A Vampire' and Spike's return to his vampy ways, which is why I didn't discount those spoilers yesterday. But I was only hearing spotty details, which while these spoilers really don't clear up, do provide a bit more information. Which means that Buffy could be talking to an entirely different vampire, and you never know if the Spike spoiler is this season's 'Chip Malfunction'.

The same holds true with the Tara spoiler. While it looks like Amber will make her return in this episode, the wording is vague enough to make you wonder if she'll acrtually see Tara. This thought was reinforced when I caught the rerun of 'I Only Have Eyes For You' last night on FX. In that episode, Giles was convinced that the poltergeist was the spirit of Jenny. But still, one of my sources says that we will hear from her very soon.

Finally, TV Tome is reporting that Eliza Dushku will be appearing in Episode Seven and Eight of Sweeps. This I'm very skeptical of, if only because all of the comments in the press indicate that she will be back around February Sweeps on Angel, then move over to Buffy for the final run of episodes. While I would like to consider them to be 'possible', I think it's more 'unlikely' at the moment.

The Spoiler Slayer page will be updated accordingly. Note that I'm ranking the 'Spirit Spoilers' as possible, and I'm adding one that states that the Spirits may not be what they seem to be.
