   Buffy the Vampire Slayer: 5 Times We Felt Bad For Andrew (& 5 Times We Hated   
   Him)   
      
   Andrew served as (mostly) an antagonist for Buffy the Vampire Slayer's sixth   
   season. Many fans hated him, but occasionally we did feel bad for him.   
      
   BY CAROLYN JENKINS   
      
   Andrew Wells appeared in the sixth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He   
   represented one-third of the main villains for the season, known as The   
   Trio. Members included Warren Meers and Jonathan Levinson, who both appeared   
   in the show previously.   
      
   Andrew followed Warren thoughtlessly and often did not think about the   
   repercussions of his actions. The seventh season gave way for Andrew's   
   redemption. His actions were divisive, despite ending up on the correct   
   side. Here are five ways Andrew made bad decisions and five ways that he was   
   redeemed.   
      
      
   10   
   Hated Him: Conspired Against Jonathan   
      
   While not the most formidable of Buffy’s foes, the Trio in season six posed   
   many threats. Warren’s descent into madness brought up many questions.   
   Internally and externally. Towards the end of the season, Jonathan started   
   questioning The Trio's methods when opposing Buffy.   
      
   Desperate to be in Warren’s good graces, Andrew followed him at every turn.   
   Convinced that Jonathan was not to be trusted, Andrew started plotting   
   behind Jonathan’s back with Warren. However, these plots never came to   
   fruition once Warren was killed.   
      
      
   9   
   Felt Bad: The First Manipulated Him   
      
   Andrew and Jonathan’s escape to Mexico was short-lived. They had been on the   
   lam since Warren’s death, but the past came back to haunt Andrew. Disguising   
   itself as Warren, The First started manipulating Andrew to do its bidding.   
      
   Even after Andrew had opened the seal to the Hellmouth, The First still   
   haunted him. It chose the guise of Jonathan, the best friend he had   
   sacrificed, to hurt him the most.   
      
      
   8   
   Hated Him: Planted Cameras At Buffy’s   
      
   The Trio did some ethically questionable things to Buffy. One of the most   
   invasive was planting cameras around her house, as well as The Magic Box.   
   Andrew never questioned the plan, even when it invaded Buffy's privacy.   
      
   The Trio never seemed to think about the implications of many of their   
   choices. Their cameras caught Spike and Anya in an intimate moment and   
   caused a chain reaction of disasters.   
      
      
   7   
   Felt Bad: Remorse For Jonathan   
      
   After Andrew’s return to Sunnydale, he began to deteriorate. The First chose   
   to haunt Andrew and get him to open the Hellmouth located in the basement of   
   the blown up high school. Andrew did this by killing his best friend, whose   
   blood opened the seal.   
      
   Andrew compartmentalized his crime, instead choosing to film the rest of   
   Buffy’s crew in a makeshift documentary. It all came to a head where Buffy   
   forced him to face what he did. Andrew killed his best friend and he could   
   never take it back. His tears closed the Hellmouth for the time being.   
      
      
   6   
   Hated Him: Complicit In Katrina's Assault   
      
   Warren’s desire for power did not end when it came to his ex-girlfriend.   
   Katrina left Warren after she found out that he created a sex robot.   
      
   Warren committed many crimes after founding The Trio. Katrina was one of the   
   worst. Andrew was complicit in Warren’s attempt to lure Katrina back to his   
   side. They brainwashed her to become a mindless slave to all of their whims,   
   taking away her consent.   
      
      
   5   
   Felt Bad: Disrespected As A Hostage   
      
   There were many things that Andrew had to be sorry for. He followed Warren   
   mindlessly and killed the only real friend he had. While he preferred to be   
   referred to as “guest-age,” Buffy and friends did essentially hold him   
   against his will for a time.   
      
   Andrew was being manipulated by The First and needed to be held under lock   
   and key. But even so, he did not deserve Faith's crime of eating his clearly   
   labeled Hot Pocket.   
      
      
   4   
   Hated Him: Killed Jonathan   
      
   Andrew never exhibited much of a spine when he was with The Trio. Warren   
   made the rules and even after he died, Andrew still couldn’t help but abide   
   by him.   
      
   When Andrew and Jonathan returned to Sunnydale, he believed The First when   
   it masqueraded as Warren. It promised him that he would live as a god. All   
   he had to do was kill Jonathan.   
      
      
   3   
   Felt Bad: Interrogated By Anya   
      
   While in the care of Buffy and friends, Andrew underwent an intense process   
   to become trusted. Buffy made him face the murder he committed in the past.   
   But it was Anya who also delivered punishment.   
      
   When Andrew was first taken into the Summers’ household, he spent a long   
   time being tied to a chair. On top of that, Anya also delivered punishing   
   blows for information.   
      
      
   2   
   Hated Him: Was Always A Follower   
      
   From the moment he set foot on screen, Andrew played the role of follower.   
   He followed Warren even when it meant assaulting unaware women. And when he   
   was taken in by Buffy, he found a new leader to follow.   
      
   While there was a right side and a wrong side, Andrew seemed to have   
   difficulty forging his own path, even in the end when Anya died in his   
   place.   
      
      
   1   
   Felt Bad: Anya Died In His Place   
      
   In the final battle, Andrew survived. Countless slayers and friends were cut   
   down, but Andrew suffered survivor's guilt. Throughout all his trials he was   
   the one to make it through.   
      
   Andrew bonded with Anya before the battle, both fighting for what they   
   believed in. Anya was steadfast and fought alongside Andrew. In the final   
   moments, she was the one to die, even though Andrew seemed like the one who   
   wouldn't make it.
