The unfortunate side-effect is what it does to Connor. Just like some
stupid british guy's badly-handled solution to Faith in BTVS S3,
Fred's ferocious attack made sure Angel Jr. never trusted anyone on
Team Angel ever again. Seeing how Connor seemed to like Fred before
the truth came out, perhaps a less reckless tactic by her (say a
purely vocal confrontation) might have maintained that friend****p.
This would render Jasmine's seduction more difficult (if not
unsuccessful).

Meanwhile, I wonder what Connor would have thought of BTVS Cordy.

Y'know AOQ, once these revisiting threads are done, how about
character analysis? You can describe how
you liked/disliked a certain character, how he or she developed and
improved over the seven/eight
years (or worsened).
