Ahhhh...sweet satisfaction. So that's where our girls are at. I feel sorry for the boys however. Spike's hurting (ok he's actually angry but you can tell there's hurt underneath it) because Giles doesn't see that he made a wrong choice (though he wasn't in possession of all the facts now was he - even Angel's own team nearly turned on him thinking he'd 'gone to the darkside'). Giles is all affronted at Spike calling question to his actions (or lack thereof). And Xander's been reminded that he too is fallable (that must really smart - especially when you're far more accustomed to pointing out others' shortcomings). Time for some more male-bonding and a little healing with the assistance of a nice merlot methinks, LOL. Really looking forward to your next instalment.
