When he spoke to Buffy in Season 7, (episode where Spike was being manipulated to kill people), he told her that she  should get over her self-centeredness, because "the soul I got for myself."I think by "what she deserved", Buffy needed another champion, with the ability to do good; not a chipped lapdog. He got tired of being conflicted, not quite monster and not quite man, but he could never go back to being completely as he was; it wasn't the chip that changed him - it was Buffy. He'd do anything, evil or good, for her, and proved it many times in Seasons 5 and 6. In my estimation, love for a woman changed him, and respect for the woman made him decide to regain a soul.But that's the beauty of those last two episodes in S6; you could read it either way; Either Spike was being noble against type, or he's lying or deluding himself right now. The trick is, we won't know until Shanshu actually comes to the fore, again.But I still stand by the fact that Spike is different from Angel in his desire, and his focus. Angel over time, has lost both, and I think a big struggle for him this season will be regaining it.</blockquote>
