He kidnaps Willow and Xander, and forces Willow to conduct a love spell for him to make Drusilla love him again, even coercing Buffy and Angel to help him in exchange for the safe return of their friends . The excitement of a brawl with the Mayor's vampires helps him see that Drusilla left him because he had begun to go soft; he resolves to win her back by torturing her until she likes him again, and tells Buffy where to find Willow and Xander . He also tells Buffy and Angel that they can never be friends because of their love for one another . This insight foreshadows Spike's later role as the "truth - seer" of the group . </P> <P> Spike returns to Sunnydale alone in Season Four, in the episode "The Harsh Light of Day", briefly living with Harmony Kendall, a shallow former classmate of Buffy, now a vampire . He is in Sunnydale to look for the Gem of Amarra, a ring which makes a vampire effectively invulnerable . He finds it and attacks Buffy in daylight, but she wrests the ring from his finger and sends it to Angel . Spike goes to Los Angeles, and hires a vampire named Marcus to torture Angel in order to get the ring, but Marcus takes the ring himself and Angel finally destroys it . </P>
