And when he gets flustered when he realizes he has opened the door for her.
Yes, this part! And when she calls him on whether he thinks they're on a date and he's all bluster and then, "Do you want it to be?" So William.
Looking at that list....I want to put Graduation Day above Prophecy Girl. Because of the Faith vs. Buffyness of it. But then The Gift would be last and there is so much good there. Do I dare put Prophecy Girl last?
Must ponder.

Yes, Crush makes my IHEARTSPIKE meter go all wonky. Season 5 was great in that it was one long Spike-love-a-thon for me.
Season Premieres:
Bargaining I&II (I'm feeling a silly amount of out-of-nowhere Spike love today - and it is JM's birthday. Freaky.)
Anne (100% because of the Ghandi joke)
Lessons
WTTH/The Harvest
The Freshman
When She Was Bad
Buffy vs. Dracula
Okay, Helen. You need to see the last two S6 eps.
Season Premieres:
Bargaining
Anne
When She Was Bad
WTTH/The Harvest
The Freshman
B vs. D

Hmm. My season and finale rankings, with skating-style Technical Merit and Presentation scores (presentation being the tiebreaker). I'm using technical merit for how well I think the arc hung together, pacing, etc., and presentation for my emotional reaction to it:
S2 (5.8/6.0)
S3 (5.9/5.9)
S4 (5.4/5.6)
S5 (5.2/5.6)
S7 (4.8/5.7)
S1 (5.2/5.2)
S6 (4.8/3.8)
Finales:
Becoming I/II (6.0/6.0)
Chosen (5.9/6.0)
GD I/II (5.9/5.9)
Restless (5.8/5.9)
Two to Go/Grave (5.7/5.9)
The Gift (5.6/5.9)
Prophecy Girl (5.7/5.7)
IOW, I rank the finales much more tightly than the seasons. Joss & Co. definitely know how to go out with a bang.
The finales are too hard for me. I loved all of them for very different reasons except The Gift.
