I should just say straight up - I don’t want any spoilers. I know nothing about the finales of the two shows except that Charisma Carpenter has been “sort-of” fired. Thanks for putting that in a thread title, whoever you were. Hopefully I’m wrong about what I think’s going to happen.

So PLEASE, no hints, no clues, no comments about it was great when…, I don’t even want to know who crosses over (more than has already been given away) - the only thing I would like to know is if I can trust the channel that plays the two shows here in Australia to line the crossovers up right.

We’ve just had the Willow crossover. Ep 17 of Buffy, she gets the call. Ep 15 of Angel, she shows up. The channel in question, Channel 7, ran repeats of Angel for two weeks to line this up. All good so far.

Now, Channel 7 is running a repeat of Buffy this week but playing Angel as normal. So this week we will see Ep 16 of Angel. Assuming they don’t run any more repeats, we will then see Ep 18 of Buffy.

It will go:  
Angel-16 (Players), Buffy-18 (Dirty Girls)  
Angel-17 (Inside Out), Buffy-19 (Empty Places)  
Angel-18 (Shiny Happy People), Buffy-20 (Touched)  
Angel-19 (Magic Bullet), Buffy-21 (End of Days)  
Angel-20 (Sacrifice), Buffy-22 (Chosen)  
Angel-21 (Peace Out)  
Angel-22 (Home)

Is this the order I should be watching them in to match the crossovers when they happen? ie should the Angel episodes be watched first and will Buffy end 2 episodes before Angel does?

Any help much appreciated.

**Home** should be watched before **Chosen**.

After Willow returns back to Sunnydale the series don’t cross again until Angel ends and it picks up at Buffy 21.

Wow, that was fast. Thanks. I imagine then that Channel 7 will be running repeats for some time.
