One thing you can say about Angel at least he's consistent. It's always some little blonde driving him over the edge

One thing you can say about Angel at least he's consistent. It's always some little blonde driving him over the edge - A voice-over episode? Oh man, how much I wish the show would have more of these. What an amazing episode, the end of one of the best three-part episodes that I have ever seen, and pretty much the end of the first part of the season as 'Drusilla' leaves us and 'Darla' appears in only two more episodes. The season gets pretty light from here on and is not as good, but still excellent. But this episode was also the beginning of many story lines, among them are the fang gang that got fired and now carries on the mission as a trio, I really love those three together and find their scenes in Caritas quite hilarious as they get drunk and sing 'We are the champions'. Another shiny new storyline is the rivalry between 'Lindsey' and 'Lilah', now that 'Holland' got eaten, those two get promoted as co-vice president until one of the gets the axe. But the best storyline is 'Angel' who has completely turned dark without turning into 'Angelus', Wolfram & Heart's little plan all along. I was truly shocked when he put the two vamp-girls on fire. Amazing episode all around, probably season 2's darkest hour - . DARLA: You know, in a perfect world, Angel would be here right now, helping me burn this city to the ground. This is his job I'm doing. But where is he? Probably flogging himself in a church somewhere. DRUSILLA: Ooh, flogging! Eew, churches. (10 out of 10)
