(Waits 11 minutes for Liam to recognize Anne): "Worth it!"

I always want to go back and watch "Anne" here--this development changes the meaning a lot. Now it's not just Buffy reclaiming her mantle, but an origin story of a character who, in just over two years, has gotten herself from "I'm not very good at taking care of myself" to taking care of a shelter full of troubled teens. While hiding behind Anne was such a step back for Buffy, claiming Anne was such an empowering thing for, well, Anne.

Lowkey one of my very favorite episodes of Angel, and IMO one of the most underrated episodes of TV I've ever seen. It gives us a little bit of everything- Angel at his full asshole-Batman powers, the Fang Gang at the height of their feelgood Scooby-ness, Lindsey and Lilah being the best comedic evil duo, an excellent twist on the monster of the week, and most of all, Anne. I've been waiting three full seasons now to say that Anne is one of, if not my single favorite character in the Buffyverse. It's close between her and Faith, at least. For starters, Anne is a part of Buffy. Not just that this character came from Buffy, but that Anne is literally Buffy's middle name. If Buffy is a show about growing up, the character of Anne might represent what a person like Buffy would be like in the real adult world of Los Angeles. Anne was first introduced in the episode Lie To Me, where the main theme was "You don't have a good choice, but you have a choice," and this episode is the epitome of that. The choice on Buffy was a lot more black and white- get a bunch of people killed or don't get them killed. Here, it's not so simple. Is it better to get $100,000 for your orphanage while allowing millions of dollars to fund evil elsewhere in the world, or should you let your kids suffer so you can take a moral stand? That's a really *real* question, and it's one that adults actually have to face in the real world. And Anne, as one of those kids who had to grow up too fast, is a rather jaded and cynical adult herself despite her heart being in the right place. She does what she needs to do, according to her own set of morals. It's one of the most complete character arcs I've ever seen from a random extra who literally didn't have a name in her first episode appearance. Oh, and you know how Anne says that she thought vampires were the coolest until she met one? Lest we forget, the vampire she met was Spike, who is also part of Angel's vampire lineage. Such a beautiful full-circle moment. Also, I think this episode does so much to establish the Angel vs Angelus dynamic. It's not a Jekyll/Hyde thing, they're not two completely separate beings. Everything that made Angelus the absurdly evil, scheming, melodramatic mastermind that he is, is also present in Angel. Angel can be every bit the bastard Angelus is when he wants to be, the only difference is that he feels bad about it... until he doesn't.

Let's not for her in the buffy episode lie to me she was called Chanterlle and also apart from meeting spike and Dracula and spike nearly killing her she also met buffy when Ford brought her to their little club hideout and she also met angel when he went there to check it out with willow and Xander and she wasnt happy with angel because he called her a fool for liking vampires
