Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Consequences

 

The end of Consequences makes no sense to me.

 

Faith just…comes back? As if nothing happened? What happened to Wesley wanting to get her back to England to face the Watcher's Council? And even if he had a change of heart, what about the guys who were with him? Where did they go? What happened to Angel trusting Faith so little he wouldn't even to talk to her if she wasn't chained up? What happened to Faith herself believing that trusting anyone would lead to "jail for the rest of [her] young life"?

 

Maybe Faith thought going to work for the mayor would protect her from the authorities, but I doubt she thought Mayor Wilkins had any authority over the Watcher's Council.

 

And the worst part? We don't even see Faith make the decision to come back. It happens off screen. We don't know what was said between her and Buffy.
