Cordelia, what is she?

[Nina]

Her last words:

I can't stay. This isn't me anymore. You can say good-bye to the gang for me, explain everything once you understand. Don't make it hard, Angel. I'm just on a different road... and this is my off-ramp. The Powers That Be owed me one, and I didn't waste it. I got my guy back on track. We take what we can get, champ, and we do our best with it. I'll be seeing you.

And in issue 9 of ATF, we saw Wesley contacting Cordelia thinking that she had the power to help (something normal dead people can't) and she couldn't help but she was there ... listening and watching.


Is she really dead? Or did she became more, a higher being? Is she working with the PTB? Did she know that? is that her different road?

And in YW, she said to Angel that she will be seeing him. Is she coming back, is Angel coming to her ...

or she'll be seeing him from up above--watching him and the rest of everyone. probably a similar state to how she was between tomorrow and the house always wins.

moving leaves is akin to being able to mess with a slot machine.

[Nina]

In that case, I hope that she found the peace she lacked in season 4 ... because her being bored was sad.

I always liked to believe that Cordy became one of the Powers or at the very least is on the road to becoming one.

Yeah when she says to Angel in 'You're Welcome' "this isn't me anymore" and "I'm on a different road" I immediately got the impression that she was ascending to something different. I think she's really dead in the sense of, her state of being in this reality, but I always got the impression she was still working 'up there' somewhere, maybe as a PTB. I think After the Fall kind of confirms that line of reasoning now, or at least something similar to that. She might not be a PTB, but she's certainly working for them at least IMO.

Not bad for a high school bitch from Sunnydale who used to enjoy accessorising more than saving lives huh?
