Hope you don't mind that I wandered in off the street...
Also, I *must* make icons of the two of them in each other's arms, walking down the hallway in that last scene, because that was slashy heaven.
I'll take one of those please. I do think what this episode did, though, was open Vicki's eyes to exactly what Henry is capable of. It was very interesting indeed that she went back for the illumination del sol, or whatever it was called. To protect herself and/or Mike from Henry in the future? Or just a handy weapon if one encounters a rogue vampire?
I like it that Vicki has now seen pretty much the worst of Henry, one of the things that drove me nuts on Buffy was that Buffy always had this idealistic and unrealistic vision of Angel, even after S2 she separated him into his two parts. Vicki now knows exactly who and what Henry is and what he is capable of or could be in the future.
My only complaint about this whole episode is why on earth didn't Vicki and Mike try to shield Delphine from the sun? Are we supposed to think it happened so quickly they couldn't stop it? Because honestly, that pissed me off: she really died a needless death, all just to get Mike to realize vampire deaths are wrong too???
I thought that too, and one of my thoughts is that at first they didn't realize what was happening and then they didn't think she'd go that fast. Heck, if Spike went poof that fast he wouldn't have made it past the third season of BtVS, so even I was a bit surprised at the quickness. OTOH, I think it's a set up to a future plot point of what could happen to Henry if he doesn't make it home before sunrise
