** The first half of Season 5 sees Fred keep the spot, with Cordelia removed from the main cast and appearing in only one episode. After Fred dies and Illyria inhabits her body, longtime recurring character Harmony joins the cast; whether this counts as her taking over as the Smurfette or a return to TwoGirlsToATeam depends on one's assessment of ''what'' Illyria is.

* ProdigalFamily: {{Subverted}} when Fred's parents show up in [[Recap/AngelS03E05Fredless "Fredless"]]. She runs and hides, and everyone assumes she has some reason to be afraid of them. Turns out Fred isn't running from them, but from having to face that if she hasn't seen them in five years, then she really did spend five years in hell. Her parents are, in fact, probably the kindest, most supportive parents in the entire Buffyverse.
