Continuity: Angel accuses Cordelia of getting peanut butter all over the sheets when she stays at his apartment. In episode 1.8 I Will Remember You we find out how the peanut butter got there - it was part of Buffy and Angel's post-coital feast. For reasons unknown by the poster, Rm w/a Vu was moved forward on the schedule, leaving this apparent non-sequiter in the episode.

Quotes:

Cordelia: My urination just hasn't been public enough lately.

How come Patrick Swayze is never dead when you need him?

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

How come Patrick Swayze is never dead when you need him? - The first 'Cordy'-centric episode so there is no way it could have gone wrong. Once again Elisabeth Rohm makes a small appearance, that woman is so gorgeous, i'm glad she plays a bigger role the next episode. The only storyline that doesn't really work for me is shockingly the 'Doyle' one, I love his character and his witty comments but I don't think the writers made much effort on giving him an interesting background, which is a shame. I loved 'Cordy', the way she rushed over to 'Angel's apartment and moved in without asking, poor 'Angel' got peanut butter spilled all over the bed and a wet towel over his leather chair, so he asks 'Doyle' to find her an apartment. After a couple of disastrous ones, he finds her a great one which she loves, only problem is that it's haunted by an old lady ghost. My favorite scene of the episode was of course when 'Cordy' strikes back after being called a bitca. This episode also introduced everyone's favorite phantom 'Dennis' who was buried alive in the wall by his own mum - You always hurt the ones you love right?. CORDELIA: I'm a b!tch? MAUDE: Take off the bed sheets, make a noose. Go on. It'll all be over soon. CORDELIA: I'm not a sniveling whiny little Cry-Buffy. I'm the nastiest girl in Sunnydale history. I take crap from no one. MAUDE: You are going to make yourself a noose and put it around... CORDELIA: Back off! Polygrip. You think you're bad? Being all mean and haunty? Picking on poor pathetic Cordy? Well, get ready to haul your wrinkly translucent ass out of this place, because lady, the b!tch is back. (9.0 out of 10)
