Well, at the time it was a red-herring hinting at something awful in her past.


But, if we assume there was ANY kind of long-term plan for Angel (and I am dubious on that score), we can say in hindsight that Lorne was telling Fred that ultimately joining with Angel & Co. was going to get her worse than killed (and let me just add, "fuck you, Joss").


In hindsight, you could say Lorne was telling her that the second she got back to earth from Pylea, she should have run, kept running, and NOT LOOKED BACK. By stopping and staying with Angel & Co., she "didn't run far enough."

I always really hated what happened to Fred.

Thank you! I hadn't thought about it big-picture (and I do actually agree that it's a bit murky that they had Fred's end planned out that early on). I was just going round in circles trying to figure out what part of the episode she should have run from or getting cross that I couldn't find one.

Your reply has settled my brain down. I appreciate it.

(Also, hi. I absolutely adore your Reaping the Whirlwind fic. I re-read it last weekend. I geeked out a bit when I saw your name.)

Awww, thank you! You really made my day!

And honestly, I really needed a brightener. I'm right now doing a take-home exam and not feeling too great about myself.

Hi, Angel's fan here !

In-story explanation : I believe he was projecting his own issues onto her there. He's staying in a different universe/dimension partly because he can't stand being around his family. Everyone was doing the same, assuming the worst of Fred's parents because they have/had terrible parents themselves. Out-of-story-explanation : yes, I think it was due to the red herring.

I believe he was projecting his own issues onto her there.

That's a good explanation. It confused me because if it's a red herring, there still has to be an in-story reason why Lorne would say that.
