The black cloud masking the sun fades away. Connor hurries over to help Angel up, and explains, "Like I'd let you take all the credit for saving the world?" Angel looks down at dusty remains of Satan as Connor goes into a reprise: "The world is harsh, and cruel. She was the only thing that made it hurt less." He admits that Cordy doesn't love him, and adds, "She was too old for me anyway." Connor asks if this is what it feels like to be a champion. "Pretty much," Angel smirks. The rest of the MoG hurry in, and Cordy hugs Angel, saying, "You did it!" Angel insists, "We did it. All of us." Everyone smiles around at everyone else. Wesley and Gunn exchange manful hand-clasps. I giggle. Angel gestures to the pile of Satanic powder and asks, "Could one of you do me a favor and sweep that up?"
Montage of Angelenos looking happily up at the sun. Maybe too happily. That one girl on the park bench seems way too shocked by the fact that there's a ball of fire in the sky. She's going to have some retinal damage.
