Ironically, being slashed, beaten, and smothered has taught his little Wesley heart to trust
And that Angel generally has a reason for the shit he pulls, no matter how high-handed that reason is. Wes has learned to give him the benefit of the doubt--but he's also learned to keep the shotgun handy, if necessary, too.

And thus, why I love him.
"The father will kill the son, better take Connor and not ask or tell anyone" Wes.
Okay, now I picture Wesley madly singing those words as some sort of twisted lullaby.
seems like we could've fit in a little Spike/Halfrek meeting/reflection episode before we killed her off.
Yeah, or at least a B-plot to one of the 8 million Potentials/Buffy boring speechifying eps! (B-plots. Remember when Buffy had those? Good times.)

Yes, while doing his newly aquired crazy Renfield impression tiptoing around his office.
BTW- has anyone else thought Wes has been considerably less crazy in the last two 'sodes? Was the mega-crazy a brief aftermath of the regained memories. I mean, he's still heartbreakingly broken, but not such with the crazy.

Yeah, the crazy has faded, after the memories and Illyria being powered down. Now he's got to put him life back together without the Crazy Glue.
And thus, why I love him.
I think my Wes love is at an all-time high. And that's saying something.
Huh. I agree that the crazy has been powered down in the last two episodes, but I think that he's holding himself together because he thinks he has to deal with crises (the Burkles, Angel going dark) and that when he looks in mirror, it's still whirligig mad eyes.
You're probably right, micole, but it doesn't bode well for him doing anything other than looking forward to the going out in a blaze of glory thing. I see him emptying the shotgun, the pistols, then pulling out a sword and diving in.
