Interlude 4: And Ruin The Show?
"Damn!" Angel swore, as the Verizon commercial came on.
"I know, you'd think they'd have other commercials on!" agreed Cordelia.
"No," said Angel, patiently. "I mean, damn, they're not any closer to figuring this out. I mean, Giles is a Watcher, too. How come Wesley knew about this demon and Giles doesn't?"
"In all fairness," said Wesley, smiling, "I saw the demon. Giles doesn't even know it's in town."
"Poor Willow," moaned Fred. "She tried so hard…"
"Oh, believe me, Willow's going to have her chance in the limelight," drawled Lorne. When Fred looked quizzingly up at him, he shook his hand to disregard its importance at the moment and said, "They all have some serious issues to resolve. This singing's going to make a mess of it all. Sweet always knew the best time to strike." Lorne steepled his fingers and rubbed his temples.
"But are they going to be all right?" Wesley asked.
"Yeah, but will they be better for it? I don't know," Lorne replied.
Gunn looked at them and said, "Wait, if this is already over and done with, why don't you just call them and ask what happened?"
"What? And ruin the show?! Now be quiet! It's starting again!" Cordelia exclaimed, pulling him back down on the couch.
