Quotes:

Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: We need you.
Faith: Well, uh, hate to wet the paper for you Wes, but I'm kinda unavailable right now. Maybe you wanna check back in a few decades when my parole comes up.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: You need to know...
Faith: It's Armageddon again. I dig. Last thing you need's me in the mix. Besides, Angel comes shinin' through in the end like he always does.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Angel's gone, Faith. Angelus is back.
[long pause]
Faith: Step away from the glass.

Aw, crap! You mean, killing the Beast really does bring back the sun? I thought that was Angel's retarded fantasy

Aw, crap! You mean, killing the Beast really does bring back the sun? I thought that was Angel's retarded fantasy - A great ending to a storyline, and a great beginning of a new one. The episode was filled with great action and special effects, and the writing and acting was excellent. My favorite scenes were probably the one with 'Wes' and 'Lilah' as a final goodbye to her character, he had to decapitate her to make sure she would not turn into a vampire and while through it, he imagined her talking to him, great stuff! I also liked the creepiness of evil 'Cordy', my mind changed completely when I discovered she was evil, she was definitely getting away with being creepy, especially her kisses with 'The Beast' and 'Connor' and telling him she was pregnant - Give mama some sugar.. 'Angelus' being loose was also great, I wish he would have stayed a lot longer than he did, I loved his comments when 'The Beast' was beating up 'Faith' and then when he killed 'The Beast' and brought back the sun. 'Faith' was still the best thing about this episode, she seriously kicked ass, well, mostly got her ass kicked but you get the point. It was funny that 'Connor' developed a crush on her, but who wouldn't? FAITH: A kid. Angel's got a kid. WESLEY: Connor. FAITH: A teenage kid born last year. WESLEY: I told you he grew up in a hell dimension. FAITH: Right. And, what, Cordelia spent her last summer as...? WESLEY: A divine being. FAITH: Uh-huh. Can I just ask... what the hell are you people doing? (9.5 out of 10)
