   been a major crossover was sadly relegated to an offscreen reunion thanks to   
   the shows being on different networks. This happened in the fourth   
   installments of Angel season 3 and Buffy season 6.   
      
      
   Life Serial/Fredless   
      
   Both Angel and Buffy returned to their respective shows the following   
   episode without discussing anything that had happened when they saw each   
   other. The characters pointed to privacy as the reason, but it was, of   
   course, due to network restrictions. Since when had anything ever been   
   private between those two characters?   
      
      
   Conviction   
      
   Although Buffy the Vampire Slayer had ended by the time Angel season 5   
   premiered, the events from the series finale were still rippling across the   
   spin-off. Thanks to the amulet, Spike was resurrected (initially as an   
   incorporeal being) at the end of “Conviction”. He would go on to fight   
   alongside the rest of our heroes until the series finale. Harmony was hired   
   as Angel’s secretary at Wolfram & Hart, which Team Angel had taken over in   
   the season 4 finale, in a rather brilliant paradigm shift for the series.   
      
      
   Damage   
      
   After the events of “Chosen” left the world full of slayers, there were   
   bound to be a whole new set of problems. Season 5, episode 11, focused on   
   one of the newly turned slayers named Dana. Having spent years in a mental   
   institution, Dana wasn’t well equipped to handle her newly discovered   
   powers. Andrew showed up at Buffy’s behest in order to get her the help she   
   needed, but it made for a very awkward exchange with Team Angel, who was   
   apparently no longer trusted by the slayer.   
      
   The Girl in Question   
      
   Perhaps the most frustrating episode of Angel, season 5, episode 20 showed   
   Angel and Spike on a wild goose chase looking for Buffy. However, instead of   
   a guest appearance from Gellar, all fans got was a brief interaction between   
   the vampires and Andrew.
