Yipee the gangs almost complete. Didn't see Cordy's conversion coming so soon, but she's a strong character and will be a useful addition. And it's great that Willow now has a proper mentor who will ground her in the rules of magic. I suppose it was inevitable that Buffy would fall for Angel's tormented soul routine. This Buffy is very naive and without information to the contrary why wouldn't she believe everything he tells her. Although this version of Buffy is infuriating in many ways, I do feel sorry for her. I understand why Spike and Gile's don't want to interefere but by not challenging Angel's lies they're setting her up for a big fall. One this Buffy isn't equipped to deal with, emotionally or slayer wise. At least the Scoobs are in better shape to deal with Angelus this time around. They don't have the same emotional ties to Buffy or Angel and they're much better warriors. Grest update, looking forward to more.

I always liked Cordy's no nonsense approach. She's Anya without all the sexual references! LOL. Spike much more than Giles is behind the Buffy and Angel 4ever plan. And yeah Spike's plan does mean that Buffy will be set up for a big fall. That isn't what he wants to happen. He isn't doing this so she will see him as the better man. He honestly believes that this is what she wants. But as most of Spike's plan go this one won't work out so well.
