By the same token, Angel and Spike's competition over Buffy hangs over the episode in a way that wouldn't be as effective if they actually interacted with her.

And he's apparently also sleeping with Buffy, though this was retconned in [[ComicBook/BuffyTheVampireSlayer the comic series]] as a practical joke on Angel and Spike by Andrew; the "Buffy" glimpsed in Rome is actually one of two other Slayers acting as decoys for Buffy.
