Just saw this episode. The writers were clearly juxtaposing different parental relationships as a theme. There's intentional parallels. Spike killed his own mother. Spike kills Robin's mother and Robin seeks revenge. Spike wins the fight and exposes Robin's true feelings.
In "Lies My Parents Told Me" (7x17), we see in flashbacks how Spike turned his mother into a vampire. When Spike's mother sees him with Drusilla, she says "Where have you been? I've been beside myself for days!" Meaning she hasn't seen him since before he became a vampire.
Summaries. Robin Wood seeks revenge on Spike for killing his mother nearly 30 years ago, whilst everyone else tries to find out how The First has control over him. Giles returns with a device that may be able to deactivate Spike's trigger.
Buffy is really the only one being told lies by a parent. Nikki really didn’t lie to Robin. She was upfront and told him “The mission is what matters, right?”
