Well, what happened a few issues back is that we found out that Angel was actually the bad guy of the season hiding behind a mask. But he was being controlled by this entity called Twilight? And it's still not clear to me how much of that was his fault and how much wasn't?

Anyways, his glowy power or whatever took over Buffy and then he and Buffy had SEX IN SPACE (or as we call it 'round these parts, "space frakkin'") that ended up like destroying the world? And it was destroyed in order to create a more perfect world but they were the only ones who were going to survive to get to it or something.

Then Buffy comes to her senses and is like "OH NO WE DESTROYED THE WORLD!" And she's like, "Screw this, I gotta save my friends!" So she goes back and saves the world. And then there was this egg that Buffy had to destroy to save the world but take all of the magic out of it? Confusing, I know. The plot doesn't make sense.

But now Buffy can't bear to even look at Angel and Angel's sitting in a dark corner brooding, but Faith says that she's going to take care of him because she's all about forgiveness. And it's this really awesome moment of Faith doing for Angel exactly what he did for her back on his show. I loved it, even if I feel like the Angel characterization was crazycrazycrazy.

Giles also died, and he left everything he had to Faith, except for the book that he shows Buffy in the pilot--that says "vampyres" on it?--and Faith says it's because he thinks she's weaker than Buffy and needs to be taken care of, but that was her projecting--it was really his way of showing how much he believed in her, I think. I really loved that.

So yeah, the plot and Angel's characterization made ZERO sense to me. But the characterization for everyone else ended up working really well there in the last issue.

And your icon is drop-dead gorgeous.
