Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe scene in which Wesley has phone sex with Lilah was written by Joss Whedon when the episode came in short. Alexis Denisof explains that throughout this season his character is "flirting with and investigating the dark side of himself. He's looking at his relationships with all the people and with Angel, and he's definitely looking at his whole purpose and trying to figure out how he wants to be. There are going to be some things that really surprise the audience, that they'd never expect of Wesley."
- GoofsLorne was performing at the Tropicana (and all the exterior shots before and after take place near the Tropicana), at the southern end of Las Vegas Blvd., yet when they step out they are on Fremont Street (Downtown) almost 5 miles away.
- Quotes
Charles Gunn: No one seems to be bothered by the fact that he's a demon.
Fred: They must think it's all makeup like the Blue Man Group. You don't think the Blue Man Group...
Angel: Only two of 'em.

Featured review
The best Angel episode ?
It's definitely up there with the best episode of the Buffy universe, because it is a great standalone story, because it's one of these episodes you can show a new watcher. Episodes about Darla or spike or sad Buffy or bad Connor, any of the " main story" are fine but never really reach greatness.
"The house always win" is a great story, full of fun, full of energy. A clever plot.
Like I said , one of the few episodes in the Buffyverse, that you can show to your friend and make him fall in love with the show.
I wish Buffy and Angel had have more standalone episode because that's what make a show great, just like the far superior The X files.
