I guess I'll take "Hero".

So what did we learn about Cordy in this ep? We got to see that despite her outward protests, she could have had a thing for Doyle but more importantly he was her friend and she did care.

In the opening we get to see Cordy's take on Angel who he is (the Dark Avenger) and what he's about. It's kind of humorous but it also pretty darn accurate.

Later we see that despite Cordy's general issues with Demons she's more pissed at Doyle for not telling her and trusting her (as a friend) then she is for him being what he is. I think the idea that he thought she would be dismissive of him goes back to her issues with redemption (being better then she was in HS) from Room w/a View.

While the last scene of Doyle doing the commercial was touching and sad (to the point of melodrama) it was the quiet looks on DB and CC’s faces that had me near tears. I wasn't a Doyle fan and not really upset over his death but it was Cordy's pain (which CC very wonderfully and quietly portrayed) that got to me.
