But in the episode "Reprise" wasn't it the senior partners who were trying to use that ring to cross dimensions for the review? or was it a messenger of the senior partners? I can't remember....
Oh that "review". I screwed up. I thought he was still talking about Holland Manners.
Yeah the Kleynach demon may or may not have contained a Senior Partner.
Lorne tells Angel a Senior Partner is coming to Wolfram & Hart. Later Angel and Denver the book guy are studying and Denver tells Angel the Senior Partner will come as a Kleynach demon, because Kleynach Demon's can cross dimensions without being conjured.
Later Angel evaporates the Kleynach with a magic glove, but did he kill the senior partner inside. I don't know.
I don't know how literally you can take a lot of the stuff you saw in Reprise. Things are suggested, but you get the feeling there's room for interpretation.
A good example would be Denver telling Angel the Home Office is Hell, then later Holland Manners tells Angel our reality is the Home Office. If that were true, why would the Senior Partner have needed to take on the form of a Kleynach demon to cross realities? He would already have been here. It's suggested earlier in the episode, the Senior Partner will be coming from the Home Office.
Also, are we ready to accept Earth is Hell in the Angelverse. Then there's the Holland Manner's doublespeak speach telling us Good and Evil are all part of the same thing. Are we meant to take that literally?
Rerprise is full of suggestions, and double speak, but personally, I don't know how much you can call a literal intrepetation of the Angelverse.
My best guess is. The Kleynach demon did contain a Senior Partner. It may or may not have been destroyed when Angel evaporated the Kleynach with the glove.
