* XanatosGambit: Lindsey turning Spike loose on Cordelia by making him think she's still Jasmine. Best case scenario, he kills her before the deception can be exposed and it preserves Lindsey's cover (while also leaving a pissed off Angel to go gunning after Spike). Worst case scenario, it fails, but at least it'll buy time for Lindsey to infiltrate W&H and hijack their fail-safe against Angel. Interestingly, Lindsey knew Plan A was a Hail Mary Pass and fully expected it to fail, but he and Eve still had to roll the dice (and, again, it bought the time Plan B required).
