Collected Thoughts

However, I firmly believe that Angel asked Lorne to kill Lindsey and that was the "one last job" not killing the obvious bad guys. Because why would that be so distasteful to Lorne? Plus I don't think, given Lindsey's history, that Angel COULD trust him to stay good. Or at least not really evil.

I totally agree.

Lindsey wasn't as important to Angel as Angel was to Lindsey.

Yes. This.

I loved that they met in the alley in the rain.

I know! The alley! I meant to mention this in my post and forgot.

This isn't Buffy, the evil doesn't begin and end in Sunnydale or with the Hellmouth.

So true. This ended exactly the way it should have, I think.
