We left the last episode with the gang all being shown the light and realising that Jasmine was evil. All that is, except for Connor, who ratted them out as soon as he had the chance.
And that's exactly where we come in. Angel proceeds to beat Connor to a pulp as the rest of Angel, Inc make a getaway.
Angel joins them, and after not long the Angelmobile is running out of gas - time to brave the public place of a service station. It is at this point that we see a whole new power of Jasmine's - ventriloquism! LOL
I loved Angel's reaction to it "Okaaay..."
Realising that they aren't going to make it out of Jasmine's sphere of influence they go underground, and run across a crew of kids hiding from the badness of blacked-out LA (they don't realise the lights are back on topside). The kids have been doing their best to look out for one another, but recently some evil beastie moved in and has been picking them off.
Angel and co remember that they are "professional monster hunters" and set off to take the beastie out. It attacks, makes off with Wes, and leaves the gang in an awkward position when one of the kids realises Angel is a vampire, freaks out and makes a run for the surface. Fred and Gunn go after the kid, while Angel and Lorne try to explain to the rest of the kids that they aren't evil. I liked Angel's menacing bit, haven't seen that side of him for a while, so it was nice to be reminded why I liked the show in the first place (i.e. DB's "Batman" impersonation
).
Meanwhile Wes is getting to know the beastie - and you'll never guess what... he knows a whole lot of useful and interesting stuff about Jasmine, and offers up the vital information on how to go about sorting her out.
Angel kills beastie/Wes figures out how to get more info/Gunn and Fred go back to their pre-Jasmine bitching about killing the prof while retrieving the kid/Jasmine eats more people, heals Connor and sends him after our heroes.
Oh yeah, and in between all this Cordy is disappeared by Jasmine (she better not have eaten her mother - that's just gross) and for a fleeting moment I think that Connor is cleverer than all of us, fooling both Jasmine AND Angel Inc into thinking he is still devoted, while looking for a weakness of hers to exploit. But no... All he does is give Jasmine 'his pain'.
I wonder is she some god of S&M? The next to final shot of her experiencing the wounds of the gang and connor (and some other national guard types) was pretty disturbing to me.
So, that's what happened in the ep, I think I'll come back later and tell you a bit more of what I thought of it.
