Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cthulhudrew" data-source="post: 1556639" data-attributes="member: 4090">Angel points out that the warlock already believed Wes was going to betray Angel, and so under the premise that he *was* going to betray Angel he was able to arrange a meeting with the warlock. That's the only way he had an in, presumably. And since there's no way the guy would have allowed him to bring any weapons to the meeting, they only had one way to attempt to kill him- magic. No one but Wes could have done it (except maybe Angel). The guy wouldn't have met with Spike, or Gunn, or Lorne, or Lindsey. And, except for Spike, none of those other guys would have stood a chance against the warlock anyway. Only Angel and Wes could possibly have arranged a meeting and had any sort of chance to take him out, and Angel was already planning on a showdown with Hamilton (another opponent that couldn't have been handled by any of the 'average' joes.)Now, I suppose Illyria *might* have been able to break into the warlock's house and get past his wards and such and kill him (she certainly doesn't seem to have any problems at the end- though maybe he was distracted), but a) Angel didn't trust her enough, I don't think, and b) she was already taking out (as someone else pointed out) 4 members of the Circle all by her lonesome- something Wes probably couldn't have done alone.So Wes was really the only choice. And, as he repeatedly stated, Angel didn't expect anyone to survive the night, but Wes was their best chance against the warlock.</blockquote>
