Ep. Idea "Heart to Heart"

[Stingray]

Angel has lost every member of his "chosen" family. All that he is left with is Spike, who he doesn't really even like, and Illyria, the creature who killed a member of his family, and did so happily. (Because I don't know what you're doing with Fred, I'm leaving her out of this) Buffy (the only other member of his family) hears of what happened, and comes and console Angel. Angel lets out all of his emotions when they talk, and for the first time since he regained his soul, Angel cries. He has been holding it all in to keep up the tough, brooding hero look in front of all the demons, so as to not show them weakness and bring about further chaos. Spike bears witness to this while evesdropping, and his heart goes out to Angel, and Spike finds a new respect for Angel... or not. Tell me what you think.

P.S.

Of course you'd have to say something about Buffy's so called relationship with "the immortal". She could say something like "Turns out, I had to kill him." or "Andrew fixed us up, I didn't even like the guy."

It's interesting, but sorry to say we've already got the first 9 eps planned and that story just won't fit into our season. And we've basically nixxed a Buffy appearance this year - but who knows - we may change our minds.

[Joss]

Yeah, it's like Drew said, the idea is very interesting but it wouldn't fit well.

And we would like to try to avoid all possible cameos from the Whedonverse because it gives it too much of a feeling of fanfic (that sounded hypocritical, didn't it )

But of course, we may change our minds and decide to bring someone in near the end but at the moment it looks unlikely.
