* WithThisRing: Xander proposes to Anya. At first, Anya is offended, thinking Xander is only doing it because they'll be dead soon and he won't have to keep his promise. Xander says he's doing it because he thinks they'll live. Anya is touched but, clearly seeking to avoid TemptingFate, tells him to hold onto the ring until after the battle. Her first instinct will prove to be the correct one.
