Leaving aside all the ongoing questions of corruption, if Angel gets dusted tomorrow, how long will W&H's "we're good now" policy remain? And we all remember them wanting Bethany as their newest assassin - oh, they would be only too glad to use Dana. Whereas the Slayers-plus-Scoobies-plus-Andrew operate not just depending on one person's code.
Word. If Buffy died, there's still Xander and Willow and Giles and then the first rank people (including Andrew) - the ones in the Hellmouth with them. That's a lot of people who went through a lot to make this happen.
I think he's deliberately playing up the geek part to convince Angel & Co. of his harmlessness and not to get them distrustful. (Let's not forget Andrew can play a role - as poor Jonathan found out twice.) Whereas he's completely sincere in his reaction to Spike, both when he sees him again and later when they're alone.
Agreed. And I think, in part, that sending Andrew is a test. Because he's harmless and unknown - he can watch and not be noticed.
