Spike had told her she could take anything she wanted. To Wesley's chagrin, Harmony reveals she sold the second Gem of Amarra online for $75. Spike and Angel track the buyer to his home, but he turns out to only be a middleman, and provides the true buyer's phone number. They track this number to the vampire's home, and later his job at a butcher shop. On the way, Spike confesses to feeling remorse about his actions in "The Harsh Light of Day" and "In the Dark." They find the vampire at the market, and chase him onto another city bus. As they follow the bus in their car, Angel tells Spike that he won't forgive him for his actions, but he admits, "I'm no better." The vampire gets off the bus at a shopping mall, and Angel and Spike follow him inside. Spike chases the vampire down, while Angel ambushes him at an elevator. Angel then tackles the vampire, and they fall over a second-floor balcony. As Angel grapples with the vampire in a food court, Spike throws the blade from a meat slicer, severing the hand upon which the vampire is wearing the Gem. Spike then stakes the vampire with a mop handle. As they return to the car, Angel tells Spike that he knows Spike took the Gem of Amarra after the fight, and implies that Spike will use it to reunite with Buffy. Spike instead destroys the Gem, saying, "maybe neither one of us deserves it." Writing and artwork The original title planned for this comic was Old Habits. This would have been consistent with the titles of IDW's other Spike one-shots, Spike: Old Times and Spike: Old Wounds. Continuity When Spike and Angel track the vampire to his workplace in a market, Spike expresses a desire to purchase a blooming onion, which he also admits to liking in episodes such as "Triangle" and "Empty Places." Canonical issues Angel comics such as this one are not usually considered by fans as canonical. Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike fan fiction, overviews summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially Buffy merchandise.
