She's happy with her friends and with her work. Is she?
"I miss my mom. I miss the gang. And churros. And sex. Great muppety odin, I miss that sex. [...] Outstanding. I can't even feel sorry for myself in a linear fashion. Suck it up, Summers. You're a big girl now."
She's worryingly isolated. She can't even have a one night stand to scratch that itch, since the only male around appears to be Xander. I'm not saying that Buffies *not* stuck in Scottish castles are any happier, but they can at least snuggle down on their sofa with a pizza, a tub of icecream and a bottle of wine and watch telly for a whole night. Does this Buffy even *have* a sofa?
Compare and contrast with Spike (from 'Shadow Puppets'):
"Lately I've been working alone. And to tell you the truth I am bloody loving it. I've played sidekick to far too many people. The girl was fun. She let me be the dominant one now and then. But after years of playing by other people's rules, it's bells and whistles being on my own. The angels over my shoulder are gone, baby, gone."
