Ellie Bishop: Sharon didn't start it, but she has been leading it since the end of Civil War. Huh, actually didn't know that. He certainly does. You have no idea.

Kevin Aguirre: 1, so because I don't ship it, I think there's something wrong with it? I just don't see it, they don't have much in common aside from family issues and Winn would probably remind Caitlin too much of Cisco for her to be comfortable trying to start something with him.

"You know this John Walker guy?" Bucky asked Sharon as she led him and Sam over to a screen.

"I've never met him, but I know of him. Bring up his profile," Sharon said, directing that last part to Klein.

Nodding, Klein brought up an image of a blond haired man in military uniform. Sam and Bucky were unnerved by the resemblance Walker bore to Steve.

"John Walker. He graduated West Point around the same time Steve came out of the ice, served two tours in Afghanistan and led multiple RS One missions in counter terrorism and hostage rescue. He's the first person in American history to receive the Metal of Honor three times," Sharon explained as Sam and Bucky stared at Walker's face. "A few months before the snap, Ross was trying to get the UN to approve making him an Avenger, a sort of replacement Captain America. Ross called him Agent US."

"That explains the shield," Bucky muttered.

"Then Thanos blew everything to Hell," Sam noted and Sharon nodded.

"Walker's wife Olivia and his best friend Lemar Hoskins were both victims of the snap. After the truth about Thanos came to light, Walker went off the grid. And he definitely fits your profile of the Flag Smashers' leader," Sharon noted as she looked over at Bucky.

"We need to figure out where he's going next," Sam said as he stared at Walker's picture intensely.

"According to the book, the Senior Partners had trouble with some lawyer in the Tokyo branch in the eighties," Willow explained as she led Angel and Spike through the parking garage.

"So wherever they sent this guy, they sent Lindsey," Angel realized.

"Seems likely, both used magic tattoos, and demons are creatures of habit, present company excluded," Willow said. "They've locked Lindsey in a holding dimension."

"So what, they haven't decided what do with him yet?" Spike asked.

"Their vision of a prison, from what I can tell from that book. Translation is a little off," Willow explained.

"Guys? Guys wait up!"

Angel and Spike groaned as they heard Andrew struggle to keep up with them.

"Why are we bringing him again?" Angel asked annoyed.

"Because we need him," Willow said in a tone that left no room for argument.

"Thank God, you guys need to slow down," Andrew said as he caught up to them.

"So how do we get there?" Spike asked, seeming to ignore Andrew's presence.

"Pick a car you don't mind losing. Because chances are, it won't be making a return trip," Willow told Angel.

Peter was in his room, attempting to do some homework when a strange feeling came over him. Looking up at his window, he saw an orange light outside it. Getting to his feet, Peter walked over and pulled the curtain back. Across the street, an apartment complex was engulfed in flames.

Peter stared in horror as indecision racked him. While part of him wanted to say let the fire department get it, he knew that since the snap, first responders were spread thin with half their numbers depleted. Hearing someone on the streets cry for help, a firmness settled over him.

Peter opened his window before using his powers to stick to the wall while climbing down. So consumed by the horror in front of them, no one noticed the teenage boy climbing down the side of the building. Once he was on the ground, Peter raced towards the man who was crying for help.

"Is anyone still inside there?" Peter asked.

"We think there's a kid trapped on the second floor," the guy said.

Not even pausing to think, Peter rushed into the flaming building. Ignoring the man shouting after him, Peter ran up the stairs. There was so much fire, was Peter's first thought. And inside the fire, he could hear the crying of a child. Looking around wildly, Peter saw a door to a room. And he could hear the crying coming from behind the door.

"I'm coming!" Peter shouted as he tackled the door.

With his strength, it gave way and the door fell to the floor. As Peter entered the room, his hair stood on end. He jumped a foot away just as some debris fell where he had been standing. Hearing the crying more clearly now, Peter turned to his left and saw a closet. Opening it, he saw a young girl, not much older than he had been when he had come to live with Aunt May and Uncle Ben.

"Come on, I'll get you out of here," Peter told the terrified girl, offering her his hand.

After a moment of terror, the young girl took his hand. Relieved, Peter helped her out of the closet before picking her up. Exiting the room, Peter saw the path he had entered through was engulfed in flames and grumbling. Looking around wildly, he saw a piece of floor not yet consumed by flames. The young girl in his arms cries giving him strength; Peter took a deep breath before jumping.

Peter made it, but the floor couldn't support the combined weight of him and the girl. A piece of it fell of and they fell. The girl cried as Peter managed to grab onto the ledge, saving them both. Narrowing his eyes, Peter threw the girl onto the floor before beginning to pull himself up. Once he was on his feet, he picked the girl up again and ran.

He managed to get out of the building just before it was rocked by another flare blast. Two people, a man and woman who were obviously the girl's parents, rushed over and Peter handed the girl off to them. Peter then walked off, still processing what he had just done.

He hadn't been able to stop Thanos, but he had saved a little girl's life. Didn't that mean something?

Los Angelus

"This is weirdin' me out. Is this weirding you out?" Angel asked.

The four of them were in a Comoro. Willow was in the driver's seat, her eyes glowing pure white as the car seemed to drive itself. Angel was sitting in the passenger seat as Spike sat behind Willow, staring out the window as he tried to ignore Andrew's presence.

"What, you've never heard of Knight Rider?" Spike joked.

"I have," Andrew said excitedly.

"How much longer?" Spike asked, ignoring Andrew who pouted.

"Not long now," Willow said, the glow faded from her eyes. "We're just about there."

Up ahead, the group saw a tunnel. The car drove into the tunnel and, when it came out the other end, the group of four saw they were in a suburban neighborhood. Rows of identical houses were on both sides of the street, the sun shining.

"This isn't Hell, this is the birds," Spike paused. "Close enough."

"This is Lindsey's punishment for trying to kill me? Maybe it's a reward," Angel scoffed.

"Why is it sunny out? Its night; how is there a sun out?" Andrew wondered.

"Hell Dimensions have different rules than ours," Willow said, seeming to dislike even speaking to Andrew.

After the fire department had finally arrived and put out the flames, Peter had been helped by the medic on the scene, getting oxygen.

"You're either stupid or brave kid," the medic told him as Peter coughed. "Maybe both."

At that moment, a fire fighter approached a grim look on his face.

"Some poor soul got trapped on the fourth floor, never made it out."

Peter's blood ran cold as he looked away, a feeling of shame and horror washing over him. He'd saved one life…but another had died on his watch. Just like before.

The car pulled up to a house and stopped.

"Oh, so we just open with being on fire. That's great," Spike said dryly as he eyed the sun wearily.

"Like I said different rules. You two should be fine," Willow told him.

To prove her point, she opened the car door. Angel and Spike instinctively shield themselves but Willow was right, nothing happened to them.

"So, would you two like a moment?" Willow asked.

She wasn't being judgmental, she was genuinely curious. It was one of the things Spike and Angel had always appreciated about her, she never judged them for their Vampirism, she judged them on their actions, unlike other members of the Scoobies.

Silently, Spike and Angel got out, Andrew quickly following after them as the group of four headed towards the front door.

"We're finally here. We're just like Goku and Vegeta, heading inside Majinn Buu to rescue our friends trapped inside. Except Lindsey's evil," Andrew noted but the others ignored him.

"So how do we do this?" Angel asked Willow.

"Just leave it to me," Willow said simply as she rang the doorbell.

The door opened and Angel and Spike stared. They weren't sure what they had been expecting, but a beautiful blond woman hadn't been at the top of the list.

"Can I help you?" she asked politely.

"Uh, is Lindsey home?" Angel asked once he'd gotten over his surprise.

"Sure, come on in," she said, stepping aside and letting them in. "Honey! There's coffee."

"We're fine, thanks," Angel declined.

"Actually-" Andrew started.

"He said we're fine," Spike snapped, glaring at Andrew and he shut up.

At that moment, Lindsey came down the stairs and Angel had to restrain himself from killing him.

"Zack's hockey stick's gone missing. Oh," Lindsey said as he saw them. "I didn't realize we had company."

"I'll do search and rescue," the woman said before walking off.

Angel and Spike exchanged bewildered glances as Lindsey walked over to them.

"So how can I help you guys?" Lindsey asked.

"Cut the act ward, June's gone," Spike said.

"Excuse me?" Lindsey asked confused.

"You don't know who we are?" Angel asked, taken back.

"No, he doesn't," Willow said as she walked over to Lindsey. "He will in a moment though."

Willow grabbed the necklace around Lindsey's neck and yanked. The rope around it broke and Lindsey swayed before falling to his knees. Everyone looked down at Lindsey as he looked up, glaring at Angel hatefully.

"Angel," he snarled.

"Welcome back Lindsey," Willow said calmly.

"What is taking so long?" Eve ranted, pacing as Faith, Fred, Lorne and Dawn watched her wearily.

"For once, I agree with her. Shouldn't they be back by now?" Dawn asked uneasily.

"Traveling to an alternate dimension isn't as easy as it sounds, trust me," Lorne told her.

"They'll be fine Dawn," Fred told the younger girl kindly.

"I just…I can't lose anyone else," Dawn said shakily.

"You won't kid. We're not losing anyone else," Lorne told her, hoping he was offering her some kind of comfort.

"Angel isn't gonna rest until he finds what he came for. And Willow and Spike never give up. They'll be fine Little D," Faith assured her.

"I just want Lindsey back. And I don't wanna die," Eve fretted.

"Relax Chicken Little, no one can lay a hand on you without Angel's permission," Lorne reminded her.

"You don't get it!" Eve snapped. "Some stupid legal order isn't gonna matter. The Senior Partners-"

"Nobody can darken our bulletproof doors. Not without our fearless leader's say so. This place is a fortress," Lorne assured her.

As if to mock Lorne, alarms suddenly started blaring.

"Please tell me I'm dreaming and that's my alarm clock," Dawn pleaded as they all looked out the window of Angel's office.

"This thing coming after you, how bad on a scale of, say, one to Terminator?" Lorne asked nervously.

Hearing the elevator ding, the group looked out as a well-dressed man got off the elevator.

"Oh God. He's here," Eve paled.

"That's the guy you were so worried about? I was expecting some kind of ugly demon," Faith said.

A security guard walked up to the man, trying to detain him. The man punched him, his blood covered fist going in one side of the guard's abdomen and coming out the other. Lorne, Dawn and Eve screamed in terror as Fred and Faith looked on in horror.

"Make it quick," Lindsey said, seeing Angel's weapon and assuming he was there to kill him.

"If I was gonna kill you, it wouldn't be quick," Angel told him, glaring at his enemy.

"Get down," Willow said, causing everyone to look at her in confusion.

"What?" Spike asked.

"She said get down. Get down now!" Lindsey cried out, terror in his eyes.

Sensing it was serious, the group all dropped to the floor, barely avoiding a barrage of bullets. Taking cover behind the couch, they saw the blond woman was holding a rifle and firing at them.

"Seems your wife's a little moody!" Spike shouted over the bullets.

"She's a guard designed to make sure Lindsey stays here!" Willow explained.

"Great! Then how do we get passed her!?" Angel shouted.

"We don't! We get passed her, a dozen more show up!" Willow shouted.

"So what do we do?!" Angel asked.

"Lindsey, where's the Wrath?!" Willow asked.

"I don't know!" Lindsey asked.

"Where does she make you go?!" Willow asked.

"Don't make me go there! Please no!" Lindsey pleaded desperately.

"Where?!" She shouted, her eyes flashing white as the entire house seemed to rock.

Lindsey nervously looked towards the cellar and they had their answer. Spike and Angel used their strength to push the couch and slam it into the wife, pinning her against the wall. Angel then grabbed Lindsey as the group made their way towards the cellar, Andrew practically tripping over himself to get to the door.

"This looked so much more fun in Dragon Ball Z," Andrew moaned as the door closed behind them.

"We're all gonna die," Lindsey moaned as they began heading downstairs.

"No one is going to die," Willow said with certainty.

The well-dressed man entered Angel's office and Faith rushed forward, punching him in the face. The man's heard turned to the side but he showed no other reaction.

"Okay, not how I was expecting that to go," Faith said before looking over her shoulder at the others. "Why are you just standing there? Run!"

They didn't need to be told twice, turning and running towards the elevator as Faith continued throwing punches and kicks at the man, none of which seemed to faze him. Growing tired of her, the man grabbed Faith by the neck and threw her through the office window. Faith flew out and hit a wall, falling to the floor dazed.

Inside Angel's office, Lorne was frantically pushing the elevator button, trying to get the doors to close.

"What are you doing?" Eve hissed at him.

"I'm not doing the polka honey," Lorne snapped.

They all froze as the man approached the elevator. But, by a miracle, the elevator doors closed at that moment, trapping him outside.

"We need to get out. The parking garage is our only safe bet," Fred told them.

"Fat lot of good that'll do," Lorne muttered.

"Holy," Spike exclaimed as they reached the bottom of the stairs.

The 'cellar' looked more like a torture chamber. There was a wooden table covered with blood, some of it fresh, various weapons laid about, and what looked like hearts on the floor.

"Ew," Andrew said grossed out and for once they all agreed with him.

Spike walked over, picking a heart and examining it.

"Whose are these?" Spike wondered.

"Mine," Lindsey said and Spike dropped it.

"Oh," Spike said grossed out.

"Try to find a door, some way out," Angel ordered.

"There's only one way out of here," Willow said, staring at something.

Everyone followed her gaze, seeing a flaming furnace.

"Oh bullocks," Spike groaned.

"The fire won't hurt you, much," Willow assured him.

"Well, that's a big comfort Red," Spike said dryly as he and Angel walked over to the furnace.

"The wrath I assume?" Angel asked as they examined it, finding a lock.

"It's mystical," Willow said and they turned to her.

"So then how do we open it?" Angel asked.

"With this," Willow said, holding up the necklace she had torn off Lindsey's neck before holding it out to Andrew. "Andrew, put this on."

"What? Why?" Andrew asked in confusion.

"If you want to open the door, put it on," Willow said simply.

Andrew hesitated for a moment before taking the necklace from her. He put the necklace on, trying the rope around his neck. Hearing a click, they all turned to see the furnace opening.

"I don't understand," Angel said in confusion.

"For one to leave, another has to stay, fill the void," Willow explained and Andrew was terrified.

"I didn't agree to that!"

Andrew reached up, trying to undo the necklace…but his hands froze.

"I enchanted the necklace. You can't take it off, someone else has to," Willow said coolly.

"Why are you doing this!?" Andrew exclaimed, tears beginning to fall from his eyes.

"For Tara," Willow said angrily. "You may not have killed her, but you worked with the man who did, tried to help him. When I turned into him, you were happy to see him. And don't think we've forgotten how you tried to poison Angel against Buffy. You haven't changed. Buffy and Giles may have found you useful, but I'm not them. You're getting exactly when you deserve."

Willow waved a hand and Andrew was sent flying across the room. He hit a wall and fell to his knees, groaning.

"Come on, we don't have much time. The door closes when he forgets," Willow told the others.

They nodded, not paying Andrew another thought. Together, the group of four rushed towards the open furnace, jumping inside. As Andrew muttered to himself, the door closed.

"I belong. I was…what was I doing?" Andrew wondered as he got to his feet.

"Honey? What are you doing down there?"

"I don't know. Must be losing my mind," Andrew called up.

In the parking garage, Lorne led Eve, Fred and Dawn out of the elevator.

"We'll head up the coast, to Canada," Lorne said as he panicked.

Suddenly, there a bright flash of light. Angel, Willow, Spike and Lindsey appeared in front of them.

"I'm on fire!" Spike cried before realizing he wasn't. "Oh. Never mind."

"Lindsey!" Eve cried as she rushed to him, grabbing him in a hug. "What did they do to you?"

"He'll be fine," Angel said disgusted.

"Whereas we got shot at by his wife jailer. Thanks for asking," Spike said sarcastically.

"Not that I care, but where's Andrew?" Dawn asked as she noticed his absence.

"Getting what he deserves," Willow said in a voice that left no room for further discussion.

"Good," Dawn said, seeming satisfied.

"Come on, let's get him upstairs," Angel said as they began heading towards the elevator.

"Uh, Angel, you should know there's a well-dressed Terminator guy who threw Faith like a ragdoll looking for Eve," Lorne said.

As if in answer, the stair well door was thrown off its hinges and the man walked into the garage.

"And that's him," Lorne said lamely.

"Where's Faith?" Angel asked menacingly.

Suddenly, Faith jumped out, landing on the man's back as she punched him. However, he easily pulled her off and threw her. She landed on the ground near Angel's feet.

"Hey, you alright?" Angel asked as she helped her up.

"Five by five," Faith said as they noticed the cuts and bruises on her face. "This guy packs a punch."

"Please, don't do this," Eve pleaded as the man approached.

"Eve's under my protection. You can't touch her," Angel said as they all stood in front of Eve protectively.

The man reached inside his jacket pocket and, to their disbelief, pulled out a pen.

"Wow. Didn't see that coming," Spike said lamely.

"You know how this works Eve," the man said.

"You can talk to the Senior Partners, tell them it's a mistake," Eve pleaded.

"That's impossible."

"I said back off," Angel snapped.

"Don't bother Angel," Eve sighed as the man pulled out a legal document. "It's over."

"Sign here," the man said, handing the pen to Eve and Eve signed. "Good girl."

"What the Hell is going on?" Angel demanded as they all watched in confusion.

"Oh, sorry for the intrusion. I'm Marcus Hamilton, your new liaison to the Senior Partners," Hamilton explained to their disbelief as he turned back to Eve. "And here."

"I'm sorry, what?" Fred asked in bewilderment.

"Along with immortality and certain other privileges, Eve has signed over her duties to me. Oh, and initial there," Hamilton said, pointing Eve towards the spot.

"Uh, Sneaker there told us she was going to die," Faith said as they got annoyed.

"And now one day I will," Eve said lowly.

"My heart bleeds for you," Spike said sarcastically.

"The Senior Partners felt that it was time for a change, Eve was too easily distracted. Lost sight of the bigger picture," Hamilton explained.

"I fell in love!" Eve snapped.

"Yes," Hamilton said, looking over at Lindsey unimpressed. "Congratulations."

Angrily, Eve turned and walked away.

"Wonderful escape by the way. Very clever," Hamilton said before turning to Angel. "We'll be in touch. Oh I have some wonderful ideas I can't wait to share."

"This is my house, only ideas that matter are mine," Angel snapped.

"Oh absolutely. That's the policy. The Senior Partners are behind you 100%," Hamilton said.

"I doubt that," Angel said darkly.

"Well, I'm looking forward to working myself into the mix. Angel," Hamilton nodded before looking passed him. "Spike. Faith. Welcome to the team."

Spike and Faith looked bewildered as Hamilton turned and walked off.

"Well, he's not so bad," Lorne said and everyone shot him incredulous looks.

As Sharon and Klein were coordinating with the rest of the Spy Network, Sam and Bucky were sitting at a table, silence stretching between them.

"Seeing Walker dressed like Steve, using that shield…it feels like we let Steve down," Bucky said after a few moments.

"We didn't let him down Bucky," Sam quickly assured him.

"Didn't we? Some rogue military man is out there, using Steve's image to commit acts of terrorism, pretty much spitting on everything Steve stood for. The guy doing this is dressed as Captain America Sam. Even if we stop him…how do we make that right? How do we make sure people see Captain America the same way?" Bucky asked.

Sam opened and closed his mouth but no sound came out. Because Bucky was right, this wasn't as easy as just stopping Walker.

"Hey," the two looked up as Sharon gestured them over. "We've got something."

"You found Walker?" Bucky asked as he and Sam walked over to where Sharon and Klein were standing.

"No, but we think we know where he's going next," Sharon said.

"The truck that had the weapons was found abandoned near an airfield, which is missing a plane. What Walker doesn't realize is that the plane he hijacked has a built in tracker. So, by tracking its flight pattern and compiling it against the list of possible targets, I figured out where he's headed," Klein explained.

"Hope you brought your coats boys. We're going to Russia," Sharon told them.

Peter was in his room, staring lifelessly at the window, thinking guilty about the life lost. Eventually, he fell asleep to the sound of the trucks outside.

Peter found himself sitting in a car. In the seat next to him, Peter found himself staring at a man he hadn't seen in years but he would still know anywhere.

"Uncle Ben," Peter said, his voice choked.

"Hello Peter," Ben said with a kind smile.

"I'm sorry," Peter said, his eyes filling with tears. "I tried Uncle Ben. I tried so hard. But I failed."

"You've only failed if you give up. And judging by what you did tonight, you still haven't given up," Ben said patiently.

"I try Uncle Ben, but I just make things worse. I couldn't save you, I couldn't stop Thanos, I…I got someone killed tonight," Peter said as his lips quivered.

"Everyone feels that way Peter, everyone. We all wrestle with whether we're doing the right thing, whether we're actually helping or making a difference. Just because someone stumbles and loses their way doesn't mean they're lost forever. We all need a little help sometimes Peter," Ben said with a smile.

"I try Uncle Ben, I try to help! But I just…I can't," Peter tried to explain.

"You doubt yourself. You try to pretend that you don't and your doubts overwhelm you. Let the doubts in Peter. Feel all the worry and questions. Then, you have to take a leap of faith. That is who you are Peter. That's what makes you Spider-Man," Ben told him.

Ben held out a hand to him and, after a moment, Peter took it.

"How will I know when to take that leap?" Peter asked.

"You won't. That's why it's a leap of faith. You won't know where you'll end up, but you'll know it was the right thing," Ben told him.

"I miss you so much," Peter said, his eyes welling with tears.

"You don't need to. I'm with you every day, even if you can't see me."

Peter opened his eyes, wondering if it had all been a dream. But that didn't mean the dream was wrong.

It was time to stop moping, Peter decided. It was time for Spider-Man to make a comeback.

"So Andrew-"

"Is getting what he deserves," Willow told Dawn firmly.

"As long as he's suffering," Dawn said darkly.

"Have to say Red, didn't think you had it in you," Spike noted.

"I do when it comes to the people I love," Willow said simply.

Spike nodded, accepting that. They were all in Angel's office. Fred was helping patch up Faith while Lindsey and Eve sat on a couch. Lorne was standing in the corner awkwardly when Angel entered.

"The man of the hour," Lindsey said sarcastically.

"I'm not your hero. I'm your warden," Andrew said pointedly.

"All depends on how you look at the glass," Lindsey shot back.

"Thought a few months at the hands of the Senior Partners would have dug a little deeper," Angel noted.

"Just scratched the surface. Turns out they can only lay into you as much as you believe you deserve to be undone. Wonder how your friend's gonna take it," Lindsey noted.

"We don't care about Andrew," Faith said, sitting up in her seat.

"A few months ago, an intergalactic warlord called Thanos used the six Infinity Stones to wipe out half of all life. I assume you've heard of them?" Angel asked.

"Yeah, I've heard of them. The Senior Partners have been trying to get their hands on them for centuries. But they couldn't get passed the masters of the Mystic Arts, and the others were in the possession of people too powerful for the Senior Partners to go up against," Lindsey noted.

"After he used the stones, Thanos destroyed them," Willow said.

"Not possible," Lindsey said immediately.

"Well it's been done you twit," Spike said.

"You're not hearing me Spike. The Infinity Stones are the corner stones of creation. They were there at the beginning and they'll be there at the end. If Thanos had destroyed the stones, the whole dang universe would have been wiped out with them," Lindsey explained as they all listened.

"You're saying the stones are still out there," Fred said and Lindsey nodded.

"Somewhere, they're out there. Might be in a different dimension, might be right under your nose. But they're still out there. Only question is can you find them?" Lindsey asked.

"Hey Hon," Andrew turned towards the woman. "The oven light just went out. I need a bulb from the cellar."

"Uh, should be some in the hall closet," Andrew dismissed.

"Just the regular ones. Little ones are downstairs."

"Zack's about to fill me in on the lithosphere," Andrew said, still trying to get out of it.

"I kind of need it now," the woman said, placing a hand on his shoulder as Andrew began to fill with dread.

"After all this time, we finally have a lead, and it's this," Fred said dismayed after Eve and Lindsey had left.

"Better than nothing though," Faith noted.

"What do you think Hamilton meant when he said 'welcome to the team'?" Spike asked.

"Apparently you two play into the Senior Partners plans," Angel noted as he looked at Spike then turned to Faith worriedly. "Although how, I'm not sure."

"Maybe we should put a pin in that and focus on the stones. How do we find out where they are?" Lorne asked.

"I still have contacts from my demonic days. Might give us a lead," Spike offered.

"There's magic involved, I'll talk to some of the covens Giles put me in contact with," Willow added.

"We use all our resources to find out where the stones are. We leave no stone unturned. We find the stones and then we can get everyone back. They deserve it, we owe it to them and the people still left to try," Angel said as he looked around at everyone. "Are you all with me?"

"Do you even have to ask?" Fred asked.

"We're with you Angel. Wherever this may go," Willow told him, a determined glint in her eyes Dawn and Spike hadn't seen since Tara had died.

Well, Andrew finally got what he deserved.

I don't consider Willow sentencing Andrew to the Hell Dimension OOC here. Willow, if written in character, would never trust Andrew and would always associate him with the death of Tara. And she also knows he tried to poison relations between Team Angel and the Scoobies, so she would consider him a threat she has to keep an eye on. Willow likely considered kicking him out of the Slayer Organization but didn't for fear of what he might do if she did. And with Buffy and Giles gone, Willow is now leader of the Scoobies, so she's the one who has to make the hard calls now.

Hope you all liked the Peter/Ben scene. Ben would be played by Tobey Maguire. I just couldn't resist LOL!

Yes, the Stones are still out there. And now Team Angel and the Scoobies have an actual lead.
