During season four, the Government captured Spike and implanted a Behavioural Modification Chip in his head in 4.07 The Initiative. It rendered him incapable of attacking humans without intense neurological pain, though he could attack demons. Spike first realised he had it when he couldn’t bite Willow. He later made a deal with Adam in season four to have the chip removed but the demon refused to when Spike messed up his plans. In season five’s 5.04 Out Of My Mind, Spike made another attempt to remove the chip by forcing an Initiative surgeon to remove it. The surgeon pretended to but left the device in Spike’s head. The chip was finally removed in 7.13 The Killer In Me when it began to malfunction.
