I love, love, LOVE this episode for what it is, but whenever I think about it I also get extremely angry. Why kill her off? Why not bring her back for good? If that was Joss's decision I would like to punch him. At least in season four we had Charisma around, even if Cordy was possessed and evil. As much as I love season five, it always felt empty because Cordy wasn't there. I mean, within the first three seasons she was established as one of THE most important supporting characters, she grew up so much and was always there for Angel, more than Gunn, Fred, or Wesley.
Anyway, this episode made me tear up a little. 🙂() It was really, really nice to see Cordy interact with everyone again.
