"Then Spike and Buffy, too angry and shocked to deal with Willow now, start to help Dawn away."

"Buffy looks back. Torn. She and Spike meet eyes. He understands, moves away with Dawn."

— BtVS, Wrecked (6x10) shooting script ✍️📝

***

Beyond the obvious tragic turn of events in this scene for both Dawn and Willow, I absolutely love how Buffy and Spike were a unit in this, and how even the shooting script emphasizes this. He’s as angry as Buffy is and shows true care about Dawn’s well being. This is something I love about their relationship, because Buffy actually has someone to rely on when it comes to the people she loves. And despite their morning after scene and all the horrible things she said in an attempt to escape the reality of what had happened, her attitude in this moment of tragedy and seriousness tells us two things:

1) she trusts Spike with the most important person in her life, which is really telling us something,

2) they actually understand each other without even talking.

This has such a deep meaning. Buffy can assume that Spike is going to take care of Dawn, because she knows he cares, and knows he's going to back her up. Actually, she saw it first hand at the Summers house when she came back to life and saw Spike yelling at Dawn for running away, out of his sight. Spike cares.
