I wonder if there were plans for her to feature in season six of Angel. Or that her appearance in 'Not Fade Away' was just to give Gunn something to do on his last day, as of all the characters, he is the one with the least obvious thing to do. Angel was always going to see Conner, Wes was always going to be with Illyria, Lorne was always going to sing. Spike maybe not so obvious, but I strongly suspected that it would be something humourous. But Gunn didn't have an obvious way of spending the day.
Also, perhaps Anne's struggle to help the troubled teens of LA is in parallel to Angel's stuggle against evil - both fights that can only ever have individual successes, never total victories.
PS. Do you reckon Spike went into battle with a hangover?!

yeah, I like her line when gunn asks her what she'd do if she knew it didn't matter in the grand scheme and she says "I'd get the truck packed" which echoes angel's "if nothing you do matters..." speech. she's a great character.

Yeah, when a character is that well rounded it makes you wonder how she continued after the series. Does she know something happened to them all that day? Are things better or worse for her since? Does she have anywhere else to turn?
Also, Spike's poetry reading = priceless
Conversations with Dead People: I heard that Joss was originally hoping to have the guy who played Jesse in that episode, but it didn't happen. When they said that an "old friend" of Buffy's would show up, was anyone else hoping it was going to be Larry? Since Harmony became a vampire during the season 3 finale I thought maybe he could have too.
And now I'm thinking that Harmony is another example of a minor character made whole and fleshed out. Ha!

I would think one of the early pivotal moments for Buffy is Graduation Day II. She decides to *include* others around her in the fight against the Mayor. Up till then, she is always the "stand back, leave everything to me" kind of hero. Now she sees that her friends and fellow students are necessary to accomplish things. You see her struggle between these two stances throughout the series.
Dear Diary: Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy. Today, we were kidnapped by hillfolk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever.
