Same here. I used to like her back in season 1 but after "Judgment" she's been a huge hypocrite.

That's why I read the wildfeed ahead of time. I just can't stand to be shocked. I was heartbroken throughout the whole episode just waiting for her last wisp of existence to fade away.

I was so expecting something like this to happen. The writers could have easily turned it around so that Holtz wanted Angelus killed moreso than Darla, but they didn't. So color me confused. Also from what I could see Holtz didn't see Darla die. So I'm thinking that he knows that baby means a lot to Angel. Now does he know that baby is Angel and Darla's? Probably not. He probably thinks it's Fred's. I bet you that Shajan character knows about the baby though.

Exactly, and I don't understand myself. They show flashbacks of the BOTH of them leading and tricking Holtz to only leave Angel? Okaaaaaay.

Exactly. She's truly a wonder. :) All I can hope for is more flashbacks and Eliza Dushku to come back.

Wow, thanks for responding guys. Getting all of this frustration out really does good for the soul.
