Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked the Angel/Angelus story in this chapter, it was a lot of fun for me to right, and actually surprised me a bit. I hadn't really meant for Riley to die, but once I'd started writing the fight I knew that was how it had to end.

I'm just as glad you saw Buffy's reaction as obvious. I was actually a bit worried people would think 'What's the big deal?'.

And Angelus being back does complicate things for both Buffy and Spike.
