Enkele quotes van "All Things Philosophical":
Moral Ambiguity and Ethical Quandaries in "That Vision Thing"
Cordelia has always had mixed feelings about her visions, but when they
are threatened, her attachment to them shows. She is afraid that if Lorne
traces the visions back to their source and her wounds are cured, she
might lose her visions too. But why be attached to something that feels
like hot lava being poured into your cracked skull? Because Cordelia fears
that if she loses her visions, Angel and the others won't need her
anymore. Her job has been the one place that she's belonged since she lost
everything after high school.
Angel's Choice: Save Cordelia now or keep an evil man imprisoned?
When Cordelia shows her friends the physical manifestations from her
visions, Angel's only concern is to help her. He will do whatever it
takes, including cooperating with Wolfram and Hart, to accomplish this.
Wesley informs Angel that the clawed Chinese couple and the welt-demon
Angel pummeled were soldiers of Good, guardians of a coin and key that
unlock a demon dimension. Cordelia was sent visions of these objects by
Wolfram and Hart to lead Angel to where a man is being held prisoner. If
Wolfram and Hart want this man freed, Wesley argues, he can't be good. And
helping Wolfram and Hart, Wesley points out, violates everything Angel
stands for.
...Wesley is the one who figured out that the old Chinese couple, and the
slimey demon, were all on the side of the Good - so it wasn't a surprise
that Skip was a good guy, too. This isn't the first time that Angel has
acted on a vision without considering that there's more to the picture; he
killed that Prio Motu and found out afterwards it was one of the White
Hats.... Cordelia's visions may be useful, but the episode revealed
exactly how vulnerable they are.... Cordelia gets the image, but not the
context or intention, in terms of the creature's bias towards good or bad
(Solitude1056, 16:36 10/02/01).
Despite Wesley's warnings, Angel enters the fortressed demon dimension.
There,he finds a man burning alive with fire that doesn't consume his
body. The metal-covered demon (Skip) holding this prisoner says, "do have
any idea how monsterous a guy's gotta be before he gets sent to us?" It
makes little sense to Skip that Angel, a warrior for the Powers, should be
trying to save this guy.
Angel doesn't like what he's doing either, but he does it anyway. He
knocks Skip unconscious so that Skip's will no longer holds the prisoner,
then he takes the prisoner to a water way back in Los Angeles where Lilah
is waiting. Lilah signals the fez-wearing psychic to remove Cordelia's
wounds. As soon as Fred tells Wesley that Cordelia has recovered, Angel
delivers the man to Lilah. Just to be on the safe side, Angel picks up a
rebar and kills the (human? demon?) psychic, then threatens Lilah if she
ever uses Cordelia again.
Later, Cordelia tells Angel that his act was "selfless and brave". But she
also worries that about people who might be hurt or killed by the man
Angel freed. Angel argues that Cordelia's life and sanity were more
important than what may or may not happen in the future. He tells her
he'll deal with the consequences when they happen.
