I only see her hurt and feeling betrayed. But why does she feel betrayed? Quoting mickeygs:
"As for Giles, this is the guy who she forgave for systematically hypnotizing her, sticking a needle in her arm, lying about it, letting her continue to patrol in this state and subsequently playing a part in almost getting her mother killed. As far as betrayals go, it's hard to top. She forgave him for wanting to kill her sister! Did they not watch EOD? Chosen? They were totally on good terms."
ETA: She also forgave him for leaving her when she most needed him, and for trying to kill Spike behind her back.
As for Giles not 'wanting her a part of this', she very nearly murdered Faith at the end of S3 (aged 18!), to save Angel's life. (Not to mention killing Angel himself in S2.) And she *quipped* about killing Caleb. If it really was a matter of apocalyptic proportions, Buffy would *totally* kill Gigi, and I can't conceive that Giles wouldn't know that. (And interestingly, Wesley got *Faith* to help him capture Angelus, because he knew she wouldn't kill him!)
Oh dear, now I'm ranting again. Very sorry. Do ignore. I just can't get the pieces to fit...
