I love watching new memories Conner stoked to have super powers and be a fighter. But after those memories came back, the trauma was not a place he wanted to return to. Play dumb and focus on the fabricated memories, to endure the truth (like Wes says).

I've been waiting since episode 1 of season 5 for you to get to this episode!! I really enjoy how humorous it is for a rather dark episode. The tear down Connor's cheek after his memories are returned is brutal. I do find it amusing how Sajahn sent him to Quor Toth thinking that was the end of it, when in reality it's likely having been raised there that made him fully capable of killing Sajahn, and quite quickly at that.
I feel so badly for Wesley. He really thought it was about Fred. When he told Illyria to focus on the newer memories my heart broke for him a bit more. The guy has had it rough lately.
I think I might cry when this rewatch is over, I love Buffy and Angel so much. So close to the end now.
