I really, really love this episode.
Why am I not surprised? *g*

Are you talking about his crew?
I'm talking about Drogyn. Lawson was sacrificed to save the sub, Drogyn to get Angel into the Black Thorn. Except of course the latter killing was far darker... but he does whatever it takes!

Lawson's death could be seen as a foreshadowing of this.
Oooooh! The whole 'I'm going to kill you if I ever see you again.' Nice.
