I disagree. Firstly because whatever Buffy & co were doing in Sunnydale, Wesley didn't know (just like they didn't know about Connor) and anyway if he went to them they wouldn't have send him away because they were busy. Secondly, Buffy had had many reasons and opportunities to stake Angel in the past and she never did it, there is no reason why Wesley would believe that she would stake him if it really wasn't necessary, if it wasn't the last resort... and if it was.. what? you think he wouldn't have staked Angel himself to protect Connor? Because yes, I know he was doing it for Angel as well, but not at the cost of Connor's life. Thirdly, we don't know if and how going to Buffy would have solved the situation, but we do know that his choice to act alone didn't work. Yes, he did keep Connor and Angel apart, but I wouldn't say that he kept Connor safe. Buffy's help would have surely been better than no help at all.




don't get too used to it



I wasn't talking of danger or prison, I was talking of judgment. Angel cares about what others think of him (and when I say others I'm speaking of Cordelia, Fred and all those he personally knows). He wants them to look at him as a hero, as a champion, and his killing Wesley would have tainted his 'image' as such, that's why he didn't want to leave evidence. There is no other logical reason behind his choice of 'weapon', to say that he choose a pillow because he didn't really want to kill Wes makes no sense imo. He would have succeeded if he wasn't stopped. And he wasn't screaming at the top of his lungs, he merely raised his voice out of rage but as a matter of fact no one heard him, the nurses ran in the room because the monitor connected to Wesley gave the alarm
