Oh, very sneaky, to have Devon do his irresponsible thing and bring in the temporary influence of drug induced happiness. Xander is holding up really well, but OMG I would not want this Angelus free anywhere near him. Here's hoping Spike is already in Sunnydale, post Dru desertion, because unless Buffy thought to call Faith, I'm not sure who is going to do the chaining Angelus to his bed task.
Looking forward to seeing how you get Xander out of this, because I really don't think he's ready to be turned. *looks hopefully at you* He's too young still. *g*
