In "Destiny," the Wednesday, Nov. 19, episode of The WB's "Angel," 
the
love story of Spike and Drusilla (James Marsters, Juliet Landau)
continues ... more or less. Introduced in season two of "Buffy the
Vampire Slayer" as the "Sid and Nancy" of the vampire set, the 
British
bloodsuckers' saga has been played out in present-day episodes and
flashbacks ever since, both on "Buffy" and its spin-off, "Angel," 
now in
its fifth season.In the current version of the tale, Angelus (David
Boreanaz) -- the name the good-guy vampire Angel goes by when he 
doesn't
have a soul, and is therefore very, very bad -- drove innocent 
Cockney
girl Drusilla mad and then turned her into a vampire. She then turned
lovelorn Victorian poet William (Marsters) into a vampire just 
because
he caught her eye on a London street. This twisted lineage is also a
romantic triangle, and that angle gets fleshed out, so to speak, in
"Destiny." On top of their competition for Dru, Spike and Angel also
shared the affections of the slayer Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar). 
This
has not made for a harmonious situation since Spike has been forced 
to
join Angel and his evil-battling team. "We've had the Spike-Angel-Dru
triangle," Landau says, "and we've had the Spike-Angel-Buffy 
triangle."
"Destiny" heads back in time to show what happened the first time the
two vampires (both of whom now have souls) fought over a woman. "It's
always fun to visit London 1880," Landau says. "I have some different
wardrobe that's really gorgeous. I'm always excited to go back and 
work,
and this is a particularly fun episode, because I'm back with the 
boys."
Is Dru being a bad girl again? "Well, you know," Landau says, "you'll
have to see. It's not exactly like that. There's the vampire rules 
and
all that, but Spike touches me in a different way, so it's kind of 
nice
... figuratively," she hastily adds. "That's the part that's so fun
about the role. There are so many different colors and dimensions. 
Even
though we are the villains ad we are evil, there always has been this
very sweet love story between us." Although she's appeared in 
flashbacks
and as one of the guises of the incorporeal First Evil on "Buffy,"
Drusilla's last appearance in present day was in a February 2001 
episode
of "Buffy" called "Crush." After being set on fire and driven out of 
Los
Angeles on "Angel," Dru headed back to Sunnydale in hopes of 
rekindling
old embers with Spike. "I see he's too far gone on Buffy," Landau 
says,
"and I leave. I haven't reappeared anywhere, so I'm obviously 
somewhere
else at the moment, still undead and kicking." Which means she could
return. "They have actually talked about it," Landau says, "but I 
don't
know of any concrete thing. It is definitely a possibility. It would 
be
fun."
