Not to mention Willow was still dating Oz at the time.

I wish there'd been more screen time between Faith and Cordy. They were such opposites that it would have made for a great story. Faith was physically strong and had such a tough chick persona but she was so broken on the inside. People looked at Cordy and saw a pampered, spoiled princess but she had so much inner strength. Neither was what they appeared to be and they were both lonely. It would have made for an interesting friendship.
