Dru, honey, in our new digs we have to put in a people cellar

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Dru, honey, in our new digs we have to put in a people cellar - Even though I don't love it as much as 'The Trial' or 'Redefinition', it's still one of the best season two episodes and Julie Benz almost looks as stunning as in the previous episode with this white, angel-like outfit. 'Drusilla' is also back, and to her it's as if she's having a child. I wish there were more episodes with 'Darla' and 'Dru' working as a team, painting town red, red, red. They are just so much fun together, my favorite scene was their fight scene on the highway and then when they embrace each other. Another favorite is in the store when 'Darla' breaks that sales woman's neck. Meanwhile 'Angel' is completely going insane and can only think about revenge, he's darker than ever and ready to kill 'Darla' before she vamps, obviously he is unable to and later leaves the two vamp girls locked in a cellar with all the Wolfram & Heart lawyers to get eaten by the vampy girls and after that he fires his own crew. Although I felt bad for Wes, Gunn and Cordy, they didn't really have much to do these last episodes so now that they got fired they have more story lines to tell and to grow into a happy family. Awesome episode, huge twist at the end, it's just another fabulous piece of the season two puzzle. DRUSILLA: Do you like it? Am I pretty then? DARLA: As a picture. Now if we could only get some shoes to go with it. Oh, excuse me, Miss? Any shoe suggestions for my friend's ensemble? I said, excuse me-customer with a question here! (Darla snaps her neck) Service in this place is really unacceptable. (10 out of 10)
