First and foremost, this episode was directed by Sean Astin, otherwise known as Samwise Gamghee in the Lord of the Rings movies.

And this episode, i thought, rocked!.

The return of Angelus!

David Boreanaz was amazing as Angelus, back to his spine chilling best as the soulless vampire. I loved the way he played on the AI team's weaknesses, revealed secrets (and boy did he reveal them! ). Each scene Angelus played between each member was memorable and suitably scary. I think my favourite scene was between Angelus and Connor. Tense stuff. The quotes were very Angelus, disturbing (especially the Fred and Gunn "hands under the covers" one) . The way he mimicked Cordelia, the look in his eyes as he did it. Just brilliant.

Wesley kisses Fred and you just knew everything would explode there and then, and by God it did with Gunn slugging Wesley and catching Fred in the crossfire.

Connor's horror at seeing the little boy dead. Seeing the whole family massacred, because i think, essentially, that's what Connor wants, to be part of a family.

The mustang quote between Angelus and Cordelia was a classic, and the look on Angelus's face when Cordelia was serious!, i so didn't want there to be an ad break there!!.

I particularly liked the way that Cordelia spoke to Angelus towards the end of the episode, telling him he was a nobody, a disease and that Angel would make sure Angelus would never be coming back, and the way she didn't flinch when Angelus lunged at her, even though she was an inch out of range!.. go Cordy!!

And to complicate matters even further, Angel's soul is missing from the safe!.

Next week should be interesting, but hey, more Angelus, so i can't complain!!!

Wonderful stuff!!!!
