(Shemar Moore)

What happened to JACKSON SHAW? It's a question everyone needs to know the answer to, not least Buffy and Dan. Jackson seemed to be possessed by the strange force that had been growing within him all season in the dramatic Season Nine finale, but as he helped wipe out the armies ready to spew from the Cleveland Hellmouth, he was gone when the smoke cleared. Is he dead, or is he somewhere else, waiting for a chance to return? Will we ever learn what the 'Guardian' is and will Jackson be around to play a part in the final battle against Syn?
