Tonight's Buffy rerun is Him, an episode where Buffy puts Spike in a closet.
Spike also spends a lot of time this season in a basement. First the school's, then Buffy's.
When we meet him this season, it's in the basement. Spike's part of the school's dirty secret.
Buffy recovers him from the basement only to stick him in Xander's closet. He's still a dirty secret.
Finally, she moves him into her house, after he attacks her in a dead woman's basement.
She first has him in her room. After he breaks her trust by feeding on Andrew, he's once again in the basement, but this time, he's in chains.
He chooses to wear the chains in The Killer in Me.
Now he's chainless and chipless, but still in the basement.
However, now Xander and Anya have had sex in the basement. Their relationship started in Xander's basement and now it seems to be ending in Buffy's. Buffy's basement is also where Xander started his relationship with Cordy. Buffy tried to let her friends die in that basement and it's where she pulled out of her tailspin.
