Was Riley right to feel inadequate?

It�s hard to go out with a superhero, as my husband knows.

Angel is a hard act to follow, but I think it wasn�t the fact that he wasn�t a super guy that kept them apart but that [Riley] felt he had to be a super guy. Maybe that�s what that episode is about, trying to be something stronger than what you are. Trying to be someone who you�re not is hard on any relationship. But now he�s in Belize and having great adventures.

Was it your responsibility to set up the scene for his leaving?

I think Joss knew at that point that their relationship was doomed. I don�t remember what I was told to do, but we were working towards that end. A sad end for Riley.
