Buffy has a crush on Parker Abrams (Adam Kaufman) and makes love with him. Meanwhile, Spike (James Marsters) returns to Sunnydale with a former classmate of Buffy and presently his girlfriend, Harmony Kendall (Mercedes McNab), trying to find a powerful stone in an underground chamber. Anya (Emma Caufield) also returns wanting to have sex with Xander. On the next morning, the relationships are broken and Spike faces Buffy in the light of the day.
"The Harsh Light of Day " is only another reasonable episode of this season. In this show, three types of relationship are presented: Buffy expecting a commitment with Parker, who actually want to have some fun with her only; the silly and shallow Harmony in love with Spike and wanting to go to Paris being abused and dumped in the end by the vampire; and the cold Anya using Xander only to satisfy her primal instincts. It is amazing that during the fight between Buffy and Spike in the campus of the University of California Sunnydale there is absolutely no student or pedestrian to witness them. My vote is seven.
