Oh, Wesley, you really shouldn’t take in a stray, even if it does look like your lost love.

I reserve judgement on whether Fred will come back. As Spike and Angel admitted, it’s been done before, no big deal. Which is why now (with the series ending) it would actually be a surprise if Fred really was permanently dead, and not just mostly dead.

(kudos to Amy Acker, who got to do something interesting for the first time in a while)

Imagine if that was the series-ending episode…. yikes. I hope there are a few more eps in the pipeline.
