I wonder if it was all to do with Wolfram and Hart, the hell no response, or if Giles/Buffy/who ever was there had their suspicions played up by the whole Angel-was-evil-before thing. I wonder, if Cordelia (who was obviously dead and couldn't have, but we'll pretend for argument's sake that she wasn’t) had called sobbing to say that her friend’s soul needs to be found, because it was lost, maybe forever if they didn't try something, and for God sakes just put Willow on the damn line, if it might have worked. Or maybe even, if Cordelia had played it smart and asked to talk to Xander, who she could surely convince with the whole Harris-you're-an-ass-but-help-me-this-once, it’s-my-friend’s-soul-on-the-line, who could surely convince Willow, his bestest buddy of forever and then some, to at least give it a try..
None of the scoobies are crazy about Cordelia, but I think she might have had more luck. That is, if she hadn't been..you know, dead. Which kind of negates the whole argument. But still.
I’m willing to bet the Angel-was-evil-and-killed-Giles-girlfriend-once scenario probably played in at least a little, especially if Giles was the only one in the room. Which makes me think that just about any one of the AI crew would have had more luck calling than Angel..
Ooo..or Spike. Definitely Spike. That’s a whole ‘nother idea.
