Well, Fred did go to hospital to talk to Wes (if only to tell him not to come back) so I'm not really complaining. As you say, it was mostly an issue of everyone cooling down a bit. *nods* And Gunn had has issue with Wes ever since the whole love triangle thing with Fred started so that's not stretching my disbelief either. And poor Lorne got a nasty bump on his head for his troubles. So what leaves me perplexed is mostly Cordelia's behavior...
/I'm not saying that he should have necessarily been throwing himself at their feet and talking about how sorry he was either/ - Well, exactly, it's not like he had much alternatives, how do you go around asking forgiveness for something like that? O_o
