To find Spike's connection with the vampire whose recent kills Spike has been witnessing in his dreams Buffy takes a tour of her lover's subconscious. Although I expected the answer to Spike's memories of the killings to be a callback to "Somnambulist," the truth is the exact opposite. In this case Spike isn't viewing the killings of someone he sired but the vampire who sired his entire line beginning with The Master.
With the introduction of Archaeus the latest season of Buffy begins delving into the subject of siring vampires and introduces the idea of an ancient creature such as Archaeus leaving a piece of himself, connecting him to every vampire of his line.
Along with the introduction of the new big bad, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten #14 gives us Buffy snooping through Spike's mind finding both beauty and horror before confronting Archaeus whose connection to Spike makes him a serious threat to Buffy in more ways than one. Worth a look.
