what happens to spike at the end of angel
Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
When Fred is killed by Illyria , Spike mourns her death and decides to join Team Angel in her honor . Upon learning that Buffy is now dating The Immortal , Spike and Angel travel to Rome on the pretext of business but spend most of the time there trying to find Buffy . In the end , they fail to catch up with her . ( The blonde glimpsed in Rome is later revealed to be a decoy Buffy , set up by Andrew Wells , who had researched the history between Angel , Spike and The Immortal , and thought the idea would be `` hilarious '' . ) During the final episodes of Angel , Spike is the first to vote for Angel 's plan to wound the Senior Partners by massacring the Circle of the Black Thorn . He then spends what might be his last hours on Earth returning to his mortal roots as a frustrated poet , triumphantly knocking them dead ( figuratively ) in an open mic poetry slam at a bar . After single - handedly ( literally , he held the baby in one hand and a sword in the other ) rescuing an infant and destroying the Fell Brethren , Spike joins Angel , Illyria , and a badly wounded Charles Gunn in the alley behind the Hyperion as the series draws to an end , preparing to incur the apocalyptic wrath of the Senior Partners , as a way of going out in a blaze of glory that will probably cost their lives .
