Awww, I love Bad Eggs. It's funny (my egg is jewish) and doesn't take the monster at all seriously - I have more problem with episodes like Some Assembly Required or Inca Mummy Girl where the horror story is so emotionally resonant it makes the scooby stuff look shallow in comparison.

The B/A stuff is very much leading into the "we're going to do it" action at the beginning of Suprise but it does get more real when it seems that Angel is going to have to leave or might really be in danger. I suppose a B/A fan (and I'm really not) might see it as them finally finding out what they had when it was gone. My mother once told me she didn't realise she was in love with my Dad until he had to move away from London.
