That would eliminate the only person on Earth who could actually kill her. Other than that, I've got nothing! :)
HOLY CRAP! That is genius! Although she was adamant that Cordy should be kept alive... ::thinks:: But then even Connor was worried about leaving Cordy alone with Jasmine. But that is the best theory I've ever heard!

Oh - or maybe she wanted Connor to kill Angel, but knew he'd only do it if he was Angelus (and she nearly succeeded in 'Orpheus').

Yay - I love this stuff. :)
