The Thin Dead Line

Cordy suddenly remembers that normally about now, someone would be talking about how they'd vanquished evil and didn't need Angel to help them at all. She realizes that, in contrast, the quiet is a pleasant change, but it's just not right somehow, and -- "Wesley!" she cries. She and Gunn hurry back to the sickbed. Or sickcouch. Gunn tells the EMT to get the ambulance ready. I didn't know ambulances needed a lot of prep-time. Jackson hurries past, and Gunn points to Wesley and asks, "Help me pick him up." Jackson smirks, "Sorry. Looks like the streets just got a lot safer for me. Time to go to work." Gunn and Cordelia stare at Jackson, horrified by this betrayal. Because of that time when Jackson seemed totally redeemed and willing to make sacrifices for the greater good. You remember that, right? No, me neither. Jackson leaves, and Cordy helps Gunn drag ol' Wesley back onto his feet for the thousandth time this evening. I think it's interesting that none of them spend even a second wondering why the zombies were un-zombified. I mean, nobody says one word about their incredibly lucky last-minute rescue. Maybe they knew it was 9:53 and things had to wind up.

Angel walks over to Kate's desk. He's changed into his leather jacket. That's a nice jacket. He sits down and cheerfully (for him) says, "I took care of our little cop problem." Kate nods and hands him a copy of the crime reports from that precinct. She proceeds to tell Angel what the report says, so that he doesn't have to puzzle out the pie graphs. "Up until three months ago, there was a murder every two weeks, a rape every two days, a robbery every hour and a half. That's what we just gave back to the people of that community." What does she mean, "we"? Angel says, "I can live with that." Kate says, "You learn to live with a lot of things, don't you?" The captioning says, "Yeah," but Angel doesn't. Apparently the captioning has it's own opinion on the issue. Kate says that her job is making her crazy. Angel knows the feeling. They look at each other ambiguously, and someone hands Kate another report. She looks it over and says, "Wyndom-Pryce, isn't that the guy that works for you?" So, Kate the super-detective is the only person in the entire city who doesn't know that Angel fired the MoG?
