In season 3 Joyce went to talk to Angel to convince him that he wasn't the right 'man' for Buffy. And then he left.
I was wondering if she believed he did it because of what she told him and if this somehow affected her relationship with Buffy. I mean, whatever her reasons, she did act as the classical scheming mother-in-law, intruding in her daughter's love life, lying to her... so she should have felt at least a little guilty, right? And thinking of it, she is a lot more supportive in the following seasons. Is it possible that she feels she has to somehow make up for that? On the other hand Buffy never knew about that conversation... would she blame her mother or would she understand her motivations and forgive her?
