Quotes:
[first lines]
Cordelia: I understand people who drink too much. I understand people who put a little note on the parking meter that says it's broken when it's not. I don't understand people who worship demons.
Charles Gunn: Yeah, especially a Lurite demon. The stink on that thing. You're a prince of the underworld, bro, take a Jacuzzi once in a while
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: It's sad. The only way some people can find a purpose in life is by becoming obsessed with demons.
[Cordelia yarns]
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: By the way, Gunn, technically that wasn't a Lurite, it was a Murite. A subspecies of the Lurite. The male sports a small telltale fin just behind the third shoulder.

You know what they say, life's full of surprises - Love, what's love? Does losing somebody you truly love really kill you? or is it love when you move on with your life and honor the person you lost? The season 3 opener is about love, 'Angel' is grieving Buffy's death, not only because she's dead but because losing her didn't kill him. And he feels like he's betraying her somehow. We also meet the sick obsessed vampire called 'James' who played by 'Ron Melendez' , he also lost his 'love' whom got staked by 'Angel', now 'James' wants revenge and lets a doctor cut out his heart which makes him invincible for like, 6 minutes, hours, weeks (what was it again, Cordy?). I think that this episode is a superb opener for the most 'beloved' ANGEL season, 'Amy Acker' is added to the credits as 'Winifred Burkle', who's still pretty much crazy, 'Cordy' is having trouble with her visions and both 'Wes' and 'Gunn' don't get a lot to do, but both look great and have plenty of good moments. I love 'Alexis Denisof's hair in this episode and 'Gunn' mentioning Vegans which eventually comes out in the season 4 episode 'The House Always Wins'. This episode is also very important to the show, in the flashbacks we finally meet the wonderful 'Daniel Holtz' who is played by 'Keith Sarabuijka', he has been mentioned before but this is the first time we actually get to see him. And at the end of the episode, 'Darla' is revealed being pregnant, looks like she's having elephant twins. All in all, I love this episode, the flashbacks, writing and the fight sequences were all superb. ANGEL: How's that, invincible boy, huh? Is that your idea of love, James, hmm? It's not real unless it kills you? JAMES: Yeah. What's yours? It's fun as long as it doesn't cost me anything? You don't know what love is. You think you won just because you're still alive? I lived. You just existed. (9.5 out of 10)
