Was it more that they didn't want him to find them again? The whole 'We have to choose' thing from last week. Otherwise I'm having trouble understanding where that fits in. The season arc was following a trajectory along those lines, but appeared to abandon it with this episode.
Angel: Lorne, you're— Lorne: Reliable as a cheap fortune cookie? Angel: I was gonna say a guy with good contacts…

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Would that stop him? He said something like "You realise this means I will never see you again?" I didn't see her tell him to leave them alone either.

You're right. That scene felt rushed and I wondered if we were missing something (in script editing?) - as it was, it definitely wasn't text.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I have no idea how that made any sense at all. Seriously: there was a great deal of handwaving and no logic, so far as I can tell.
But hey, it was quite scary in spots. And we got a lot of River, which is always good in my mind.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Thank you. I tried to look for the air date but the internet didn't behave.
So. Instead of going through the motions of everything that is horribly wrong with Moffat's ideas for DW, I'll ask this: anyone else thinks Angel's Are You Now or Have You Ever Been a was much better version of the story?

Yup. I said this last night to my friends while watching it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't see the similarity?
