Killing the son

Angel seemingly ‘kills’ Connor with a knife in Home, fulfilling the fake prophecy from season two in which it was said that “The father will kill the son”. He doesn’t really kill him though - Connor’s memories are erased and he’s sent to live with a new family.

No experiments, please

In the flashback to World War II in Why We Fight, Spike objects to U.S. government experiments (”And I’m not getting experimented on by his government”) which is ironic as the government experimented with him in his later life. The US-based Initiative put a chip in his head to control …
