A minor thought...

Watching 'The Price' a bit of dialogue struck me - the team are trying to re-do Angel's room (wrecked by earthquake and fire at the end of 'Loyalty') and there is this exchange:

ANGEL: Look, guys, I appreciate everybody's help... Really. But I just want everything back the way it was, okay? Or... close to it.
CORDELIA: Not gonna be, y'know? - Unless we pay for real, dishonest-to-goodness, overpriced contractors, those cracks are always gonna show.
ANGEL: Let 'em.

Now it is pretty obvious that they're not just talking about the cracks in the wall - there are cracks in their lives, people missing, people lost. Connor, Wesley - actions have been taken that are always going to haunt them, until... until the end of S4 when Angel gets some real, dishonest-to-goodness, overpriced contractors 'Wolfram & Hart' to smooth over the cracks and paint everything a new colour...

I love my show.

My pleasure. It's the sort of thing I can't not notice now - my brain does odd things...
