What I'd like to see on Buffy

This is my Christmas wish list for the rest of Season 7 (and I'm trying to keep it reasonable):
* I want to see Giles's reaction to the news that Spike is a) souled, b) manipulated by First Evil. Somehow I don't think we will get a very sympathetic reaction from him but a pragmatic one, a 'better safe than sorry - let's stake him' from the man who killed Ben. But I can always hope that I'm wrong right? Maybe Giles will be the one who finally says it out loud: that a vampire who voluntarily gets his soul back is darn amazing!
* I don't want to see Dawn become a Slayer or a potential Slayer. I want her to die closing the hellmouth for good. Is that too much to ask? After all, she's a mystical key, right?
* I want to see Xander and Anya together again.
* I want to see more guest appearances of former cast-members: Dru, Jonathan, Warren, Jenny Calender, Cecily, Angel and Darla (what I wouldn't give for another Fanged Four flashback.
* Spike and Buffy? Should end up as friends at least.
* I want Spike to be alive or undead at the end of the season - definitely not dust.

5-I don't think they'll ever end up more than uneasy allies. I don't know that I want to see them as more than uneasy allies. (Y'know, part of my problem with the show is that I really don't like Buffy all that much. If I knew her in real life, I'd probably tell her to grow up and get over herself.)
6-Yes. Spike had better still be breathing--or not, as the case may be--at the end of the season. I'll be most upset if he's dusted, for whatever reason.
For an interesting take on where Buffy might go, read this (http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=jennyo&itemid=76488). She definitely has some interesting points.
