Sigh. That means I get
The Prom. After this one, I'm also bowing out of doing IWRY.
I will say this - when faced with emotionally stressful circumstances that turned her life upside-down, Cordy didn't whine about it. She didn't cry. She didn't go on and on about how unfair her life is, or how it was so hard to be her, or look for sympathy. She didn't make it anybody's business. She just found a solution, rolled up her sleeves and got a job. No pity party for QueenC. She suffers in silence, and gets on with it.
She also once again used her keen fashion sense to save the day, pointing out that the victim attacked in the store was wearing formal clothes, and it was that which distinguished him from everything else. Without Cordy, they might all still be watching the videotape trying to figure things out.
And she did have the good grace to thank Xander afterwards.
Actually, now that I've written this out, this was a pretty positive episode for Cordy.
