I watched this episode recently for one main reason. I am a huge fan of the Buffy/Angel universe and saw that Alexis Denisof had a role in this episode. I was curious to see him in a role outside of his BTVS/Angel character Wesley. Let's just say it was strange. While I know from his bio that he was born and raised in the US, I was always curious as to whether or not his English accent was real being he had lived in England for a period of time. Watching Alexis in the role of an American diplomat's coke-head son was weird. While the voice was the same, hearing him without the accent was very different. I don't know if was because I'm so used to the accent or his is real but at points I swore I heard an English tone to some of his lines. Anyway, I really didn't want to review this episode, just give my thoughts on one of the actors.

Unfinished storyline

Warning: Spoilers
Interesting episode. Started off as if it was one of the light-hearted comedy episodes. Then it turned after Duncan's friend's wife, Molly, was killed. The immortal seeks revenge on the wrong person. Duncan was hypocritical here. Wouldn't he had done the same for the murderer of one of his lovers? In fact, he had. The immortal only went off the information he knew about his wife's killer and killed the wrong man. Then Duncan tells the friend he will kill him for going after the son. Why? Why is he protecting an addict? Much like the one who killed Tessa? The episode ends with Duncan trying to talk the son into turning himself in. That's it. No resolution. Was there revenge? Did the son reform? I guess we'll never know. I know the Highlander often goes the other route and wraps things up too cleanly. However, this just seemed like an unfinished episode or storyline.
