Then Buffy dies heroically, with *everyone* (Spike, Angel, Faith, Giles, Scoobies) fighting by her side. Anyone who's not returning for another season gets killed, too, and there is much carnage amongst the SITs.
Spike lives, devastated, and is Chosen to be the Watcher of the SIT who's Called. (This assumes Faith has died or something.)
How's that for weird, romantic, and unpopular? 😀
