What is the best Spike focused episode?

A toss up between Fool For Love and Lover's Walk. Lover's Walk it is for me!
 
I'm going to be boring and follow the pattern, but Fool For Love. I love how it showed that Spike was completely different from his human self, but somehow not at the same time. He was and will always be a fool for love, no matter what form he's in. Also, it goes without saying that the end scene is just fantastic. Literally took my breath away the first time I saw it, how a few tears from Buffy can make him go from murderous rage to "Is there something I can do?" It was just a really honest, beautiful moment between them.

Well said! But, it's not boring to follow the pattern since that episode is just plain awesome! :D
Yeah, I have to go with "Fool For Love" too. I just keep coming back to it since it really showed a whole other side to Spike. How he became the vampire he is today, but at the same time, is still somewhat the same. Excellent writing and performances throughout that episode.

I think "Beneath You" would be my runner-up, particularly due to Spike's last scene. I still find myself somehow in tears by the end of his monologue.

I totally agree! It was such a great episode too.

I guess my runner up would be Lovers Walk
 
It's too hard to choose!

Fool For Love is great as you get to see another side of him and it sets up a bit of their relationship in Season 6. I also love Crush as you get to see him with Harmony, Dru and Buffy and how he acts differently around each of them. Plus I love how twisted he is in it.

I loved and hated Lies My Parents Told Me, think it was a bit uncomfortable to watch.
 
Hard to say because I haven't seen some of the seasons in a long time, but having recently rewatched S5 and S6 I'd have to go with Intervention. It sums up nicely the best and worst parts of Spike.
 
Fool for Love - my favourite episode in nrhe etire series so of course i'm going to say it'd the best Spike episode😉
