God, how I forgot that I'll never know. That whole episode "Passions" was one of the most brutal hours of television that I've ever seen.
There was always the belief by Buffy that somehow there was still Angel inside somewhere, but after that episode she knew.
The whole story line of Angelus is an amazing study of depravity and evil. When he was bought back in Angel, I watched an interview where they pretty much just left blank spots in the script and DB adlibbed. There was one scene where he calmly told Cordelia that he was going to rape her to death, he made similar threats against poor Fred as well.
But that scene with Jenny and then not even feeding on her, but leaving her corpse in Giles bed was brutal.
