The First may have anctually been a danger. Knowing we what we know now, it’s pretty easy to see the Powers as manipluating Jasmine to her destruction. The First may have anctually been a danger.

Whatever side Jasmine is on, she's having all the demons dealt with. Why, if she's evil, would she get rid of all her most obvious soldiers just to win the trust and admiration of her next flock? Possible answer: because they can see her as she is. The bowling vamps didn't seem to be too shocked or awed. And we know not all demons are evil enough to follow her anyway, so they all have to go. Next development out of this one: Angelus. We know that in a situation of outside-imposed perfect happiness, his soul can spontaneously return (that 1st-season ep with the drugs). I'd say Jasmine's charm aura qualifies for that designation. So, scenario: he slips, loses his soul, and can see her as she is. The happiness goes bye-bye, the soul returns, and Angel can still see the real Jasmine. Or maybe the soul doesn't return. Angelus is such a good actor that we wouldn't know what he was thinking till he did something like killing Fred anyway. Next question to be begged: what about Buffy's apocalypse? I'm leaning toward something like the "Simpsons" Halloween show with the monkey's paw bit, where Lisa wished for world peace and the aliens took advantage of the earth's defenselessness. Whatever the reason is for having two hotbeds of demonic activity, an enthralled L.A. would be easy prey for the hordes under the Hellmouth. Another thought.
