skip has to be lying at some point 

either he was lying during birthday and earlier already working for
jasmine
or he was lying later about already working for jasmine

theres no evidence presented except the testimony of skip and jasmine
and they are not presented as trustworthy


we have other examples of humans being joined to the essence of a demon
to give them strength to fight evil
so theres no reason not to think cordelia got the same deal
with a different kind of demon essence

also in youre welcome
    - death is such a primitive concept
      i prefer to think of them as battling evil
      on a higher dimension
it feels more likely cordelia is off to fight elsewhere
rather dying and ceasing to exist


so i like to think cordelia really was tapped by the powers that be
okey-dokey
she really was infused with greater power to be greater instrument of good
and she really was transcending to a higher level

thats when jasmine saw her opening and slipped in
and hijacked the scheme for her own benefit

thats my story
and im sticking to it

i prefer not to give jasmine credit for doing anything
until after cordelia ascended

the terminology like the cosmology in general is vague and situational
for example they make it sound like earth
is the only planet with intelligen life in this universe

(when actually we have contrary evidence
that vampires came from remus)
