This is what I say and heard. BTW- I asked what epi they were filming and I was told the 3rd.

Mind you that we got there at 6:30pm and they had been filming since 730 that morning....

1st scene(I saw anyway): Buffy and Dawn. They're talking about something and Dawn runs off. That's all I saw and I couldn't hear anything

2nd scene:

Spike walks out of the house and he's upset. He goes over to the tree and starts kicking it and proceeds to crouch down and cry Xander and Anya walk out of the house and they see Spike. Soike gets up and walks over to then. They ta;lk and Spike get supset and grabs Xander and pushes him up against the tree. You hear Xander grunt and Anya scream hey!" (LOL It got annoying after awhile I must add "hey!")Then you hear Spike saying something along the lines : "You didn't tell me...I've past 145 days saving your sorry asses....Willow knew...She wouldn't be the same...I wouldn't have let her... The thing about Magic is there are always, ALWAYS consequences."

I'm positive about the last line bc James said that over and over again really loud. Even the security guards were reciting that line

While he's saying this Xander says something but I was unable to hear Nic's end of the conversation.

After spike says that last line he walks away. This was filmed two different ways. One with SPike just walking away, another with Spike hopping on his motorcycle and riding off.

That scene was also filmed without Anya. I'm sure she had more lines then just "hey!" but I couldn't hear her. Only James was loud enough to be heard across the street.

So what did I learn? Spike has no idea that they brought Buffy back. He runs into her and is speechless (they were suppose to film this yesterday btw but that was an interior shot somewhere and besides I was at the airport )

BTW-They're going to be filming this Friday in front of Torrence High

It goes without saying that I d getting to watch Buffy film. We also got to meet James, Nic,and Emma I wasn't able to get a pic with Nic though but it was a great day anyway. I got to hug James too All thanx to Tony! The best-est (that really should be a word btw) member of the Buffy team!

Spike brings Buffy back as a vampire with a soul and Willow will be the next big bad and we'll have hints of it in the first three episodes.

I watched a scene being shot in front of the Buffy house in Torrance last friday. I know pretty much everyone word in that scene. We couldn't really hear what xander was saying, but let me break it down for you guys.

(I hope you dont already know this...)

Spike exits Buffy's house confused, angry, and sad. He stand behind the tree and starts crying.

Xander and Anya exit buffy's house and start walking towards the side walk when they hear someone crying.

They turn and see spike behind the tree. Xander: "Spike?" Spike tries to wipe the tears from his eyes. Xander says something to Spike making him more angry than he already was.

Spike: "She's back and you didn't even tell me"

Xander says something and spike takes him by the shirt and throws him against the tree. Spike: "You brought her back and you didn't tell me!?!"

Xander tells him that Willow brought buffy back by Magic.

Spike then says that magic can go differently than you expect (ie Buffy's mom)

Spike: "Willow didn't tell me because Willow knew that I would have ne ver allowed it. She could have come back more wrong than you could ever have imagined!"

Anya says something to spike to try and calm him down, but he isn't even listening. He starts walking toward the street furious. As he walks away he shouts back -

Spike: "There's one thing about magic, there are ALWAYS consequences - ALWAYS!!"

Spike then gets on his motorcycle and drives away.

Sorry I couldn't hear the Xander and Anya dialogue. Nicky and Emma were just talking too low.

…

DUHHHHHHH i feel like such a dork! Yes, i forgot to include that, he said

Spike: "I worked alongside you for 145 bleeding days. I saved all your asses" that's what he said. I can't believe i forgot about that. sorry!

And, no, i will not be going to the next location shoot. I live in Miami. I was on vacation in LA and just so happened to stumble upon the shooting! we were going to take a pic of the buffy house when we saw all the trailers and cameras/crew and stuff! They only film 4 times out of the year in Torrance. That's what a crew memeber told us.

from what i understand, he saw buffy in the house. when he saw her, the explained to him that she had been back for 2 weeks without him knowing.

The dialogue and scene is from the 3rd episode.

Unfortunately, I can't stay. We're in the middle of breaking episode 8. I'll try to stop back later this afternoon if I get the chance.

Episode 7 is casting now and it has Joss listed as the writer/director. So it looks like they moved the musical episode back one to episode 7. Oh, and the shoot start date is 9/26 for episode 7.

I just got some new information.

Episode #5 is called "Life Serial"

It seems to be an episode where Buffy is trying to get back into the swing of things. She tries going back to college, working construction with Xander's male chauvenist pig construction crew, selling at the Magic Box, and even goes out and gets drunk with Spike.

Meanwhile time is reacting oddly for her jumping and looping.

Tara is in the episode (even taking an art appreciation class with Buffy). Jonathan and Warren are also in the episode following Buffy around with someone named Andrew. This is also one of the episodes Giles is in.

Well, I will share one other thing with this board as I found it funny. There are kittens in this episode. Lots of them. And just to answer a question before it is asked they are not Willow & Tara's.

Can confirm that Buffy is brought back from the dead by Willow's magic.

Can confirm that Buffy confides in Spike that she wishes her friends would have left her alone in the afterlife where she was happy.

Why should you believe me?

I used to go by another name...

Nothing really spoilerish, just a bit of behind-the-scenes network scoop I got from a local UPN station sales rep:

The musical episode is still airing Nov 13 as has been planned. An episode was moved ahead of it during the writing phase and the season start was moved a week to Oct 2. He didn't know which idea caused the other.

The November Neilsen rating survey of all local TV markets runs November 1 - November 28. The peak household viewing will be the first 2 weeks due to Thanksgiving falling in the 3rd week. So the musical episode was always scheduled for the second week of the survey.

They are expecting big ratings for this one. He also said UPN hasn't been specific but they are to expect "huge plot twists developing during November sweeps". The rest of what he told me was just typical sales b.s. And as we know "major plot twists" happen just about every week so that's part of the b.s.

That's why the musical episode is exactly where it is. Joss had it falling there in the arc, so UPN has set the start date to get it into the best ratings position.

If you've never been a media buyer and had to work with station reps (or reptiles as I call them) then count your blessings. I'll wash, but I'll never be clean again.

When Spike and Buffy go out on what he considers a date and she considers an attempt to learn more about his world, he gets her drunk and starts a demon card game.

Anyway, he didn't add much more to your spoilers- only that Jonathan transforms himself into a demon to fight Buffy- but it is meant to be a helpful thing to teach her how to fight this particular demon or something.

The only other thing is that Spike and Buffy ride his cycle together-

Ok, I have something to say to all of the B/S shippers, and trust me, if I confirm this, we're all going to be very happy!

OK, I have not confirmed this YET, but I was told by a source that I can't reveal YET, that this season, Buffy and Spike will "do it". Those were the exact words said to me. I am in the process of contacting my source right now, because I want to get the whole story, lol.

"Buffy and Spike will do it this season. It won't be too soon, it'll be like midseason or something like that" is what this person told me. As soon as I confirm this, I will post it here.

I didn't want to say anything until I was sure, but I was just so happy and screaming about this that I just had to post.

Don't get your hopes too high, until this is confirmed.
