ATS: 'Just Rewards' Summary

A summary has been posted for 'Just Rewards'. As usual, I'll highlight some of the keypoints here.
New Info from summary of 'Just Rewards'

- The episode picks up from where Episode One left off, with Spike appearing in Angel's office. Nobody realizes that he's a ghost until he makes a grab for Angel and passes through him.

- Lots of revelations early on. Fred takes some readings, and Spike does not fit what she would expect from a ghost. It appears that he's tied to the amulet. Buffy is in Europe. Some are shocked by the fact that he has a soul, while Harmony's shocked that he was with Buffy.

- Angel does wonder if Spike's fate is what Wolfram and Hart intended for him (I've been wondering about that myself.)

- The episode picks up from the previous summary here, although there is a few scenes between the first visit to Hainsley and the part where Hainsley tries to transfer Spike into Angel. In these scenes, the gang discusses Spike's fate and what to do with the amulet (Spike is there, but they don't see him). They believe that if they destroy the amulet on hallowed ground, Spike will be set free and able to move on to eternal rest. Angel wants to sleep on it before they make any decisions, and it's in his bedroom later that night that Spike appears, admits that he overheard their conversation and that Hainsley has given him a better option. At which point Hainsley takes control of Angel and the transfer process begins.

- In the end, we find out that Spike cooked up this plan when Hainsley approached him and Angel knew what was going on.

- Final scene is Spike talking to Fred, worried about his future. Apparently each time he disappears, he feels he's being pulled into hell. He wants Fred to help him


While I'm still somewhat hesistant to give a full stamp of approval until I get an independent confirm, this all looks to be quality information.

I would expect the Spike storyline to build into sweeps, which at some point he's going to be released from the amulet (and back into the real world). Could this be tied in someway to a possible cameo from a Slayer, I don't know for sure but I wouldn't count it out.
