Was it the manger scene? It does sound a bit ... unreal.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

The evil is this way?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Groo's love/lust for Cordy, unlike Angel's, seemed believable.
Of course, because it was. Angel and Cordy, on the other hand, were never really in love--althought they loved each other as friends--and were just drawn to the idea of being on love with each other out of frustration with their own lives/a desire to cling to some semblance of normality.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
Victor-you are absolutely correct! Cordy had had the whole turning-into-a-demon-almost-dying-from-visions thing, while Angel had had the whole crazy Connor thing, through which Cordy stuck by him and comforted him. Also Angel seemed vulnerable after the loss of Connor, and they were both separated from Wesley, their oldest friend at AI.

Not to mention the also shared loss of Doyle, whom Cordy DID harbor deep feelings for, and who was one of Angel's first real friends, aside from Buffy.

Good point.

Now you've gone and made me all nostalgic for the days when it wasn't Cordy that was the Angel Investigations employee who found the boss attractive.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Sigh. We had a good two seasons where it was everyone BUT Cordy.

Gunn remained a holdout for the entire duration, IMHO.
But y'know, if one were to assume that Wesley's guy crush on Angel wasn't entirely platonic admiration and need for affirmation....
Didn't his close rapport with Cordelia first begin to cool down a bit when Angel's number one priority became getting back in her good graces post-"Epiphany"? And by the time "Waiting in the Wings" rolled around and Angel was pretty obviously crushing on her, they'd gone from joking camaraderie to acting unaware of each other's existence. While I don't really see much evidence for the idea in canon, it would do a better job of explaining why Cordy & Wes got so frosty toward each other than anything else I've heard.

WitW had Cordy giving Wes BAD dating advice. I'm now wondering if I'm supposed to blame that on Jasmine.

Oh, was that where she gave him the "next time, don't invite the whole gang when you want a romantic dinner for two" speech? I'd had it in my mind as the opening of "Billy."
