Right between Buffy S4 and S5? Oh, that's difficult.
Willow's definitley more growing into magic wicca girl by then, although she still does the rambling thing. He more intimate dance with the dark side comes later, mostly in S6.
Giles hasn't had a job during S4, he has a short fling with an "old friend" from England, Olivia, but otherwise was mostly bored out of his mind and felt useless because Buffy hung out with the "Initiative" (government demon hunter, of which the boytoy was a part). Midlifecrisis ensures. :p
There was a big fallout late in Season 4, mostly because of Spike's schemes. In any case, there was a big sort of hug-fest at the end of S4, and together, the four original Scoobies defeated the big bad of the season. Still, Giles considers leaving Sunnydale, and Willow knows about it. She helps him scanning a lot of his books etc. but doesn't tell Buffy.
Spike was solo for most of S4. The "Initiative" caught him, and he got a chip implanted in his brain so that he couldn't hurt humans any more. He spent a while chained up in Giles's bathtub, because they thought he might have some info about the big bad. If I remember, Dru shows up and gets him snacks. Eventually, he sides with the big bad, mostly because he can't do much evil by himself, and he definitely wants to be evil. He tries to split up the Scoobies, and almost succeeds.
That's it in a nutshell. If you need more detailed info, let me know. ;)
