That was my vibe too. I didn't think he was using special powers to keep her alive. More like guilting the El Pollo Loco dude to do a drop and run every week.
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

What is even happening?
Huh. I just figured he acquired her food somehow and kept the people who turn off water and utilities away, or something.
I just figured she had groceries delivered, and the monster kept away the people who would have turned of the water, etc.
No. I don't know where she got any money for groceries. But I don't know how Angel got that mansion (on BtVS), if he shaved, why he'd been alive for 200+ years and never developed an investment portfolio, how vampires get...engorged, or how Spike's roots kept growing out, either.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I always figured Angel had an investment portfolio. How else could he have kept paying Wes and Cordy salaries?

After he had a soul. Huh.
And we know he has credit cards.
That never surprised me. If my cousin P can get credit cards, anyone can.

Okay, but I don't get why an evil demon would bother with that for 50 years.
I'm clearly overthinking this, and am willing to file it with "how does Angel shave."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Count me in as one of the few who was underwhelmed by AYNOHYEB.
AYNOHYEB: BOR-ing.
phew! i've seen the massive amounts of love for AYNOHYEB here and wondered if i was remembering it wrong or if i had just watched an entirely different ep than everyone else. glad to see i'm not alone. though i do think a rewatch is in order. i distinctly remember being underwhelmed by it though. will report back after i've seen it again. it's been way too long for me to take a concrete stance.
