She got Wes to let his guard down, slit his throat and took the baby. This falls under the category of really screwing up, not selling-out-to-sworn-enemy.**

I can grant you “selling out to” was a tad strong. How about “conspire with”?

> As for telling Angel, since the prophecy says that he’s a threat, you don’t want him to know your plans. Presumably, he would have to become Angelus to kill Connor. Even keeping the details secret, Angelus would know that precautions had been taken and take precautions of his own. Wes should have confided in Gunn, Fred, Cord, and Lorn though. \*\*

I can see that as logic that might be used, but I don’t agree with it. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the Buffy/Angel canon, it’s this – keeping secrets from your friends is stupid, because they _will_ find out, and things _will_ get worse becasue you weren’t up front about everything. Also, if every decision you make is going to involve the step “But what if Angel turns back into Angelus at some point,” then your only rational solution is to stake him right away just in case.

I liked Cordy’s short cut, but this blonde look has got to go. She’s got a great face and I hate when they sweep her hair forward. I keep wanting to brush it back out of her face.
