I think Jenny is down on Xander largely because she's with Giles and he's been shown to have negative feelings for Xander throughout this series. She's picked up on how he views Xander.
Am I the only one who can relate to Willow's attraction to Xander (which she may or may not be over with by this part of the series)? I've so been in the space where I'm attracted to someone, they are not attracted back, but it's not like I can hide my feelings or not feel how I feel. I've been on both sides of the equation and neither side is fun. And hopefully that's not her headspace by this part of the series; I think she's bee with Oz long enough to be over those feelings for Xander, even if they will always be friends.
Instead of speaking her mind, Willow went silent again. Silent Willow was never a good sign. Silent Willow meant that she was channeling her parents and their wacky-wacky need to have a perfect home and a perfect child and a perfect marriage and a perfect life. It led to fake smiles and a perfectly painted house and a real lack of love. They were the poster children for 'If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all,' and after seeing the poster, Xander would not be going to that movie. It was a sad way to live. This is a nice description.
I agree that Xander handles this very well. Leaves me wishing my interpersonal skills were that good.
Angel bought this really cool old hotel that needs about a million hours of renovation."
"He bought it for you?" Is Willow one of the people who sees what's going on between Xander and Angel before they finally figure it out?
