Angel #1.18: Five By Five

Wow I wasn’t expecting Faith to show up! That was cool. This episode had a ton of stories going on, all kind of entwined, which definitely made it one of the better stories. Using more than 3 characters = good. First, Faith shows up, and does her thing (sexy dancing and bar fights). Wolfram & Hart, the law firm that has shown up maybe like 3 times over the previous 17 episodes to show that they watch Angel, finally got frustrated. So they hire Faith to kill him. She then tortures Wesley, and this leads to a sweet intense crazy fight between Faith and Angel! Wesley’s ready to kill Faith, but just as he does, she breaks down in her fight with Angel and says she wants to be killed. Angel doesn’t do it. Then meanwhile, they also showed Angelus in 1858, when he very first became cursed with a soul. Darla was upset and threw him out, and he lurked away into the streets. Awesome!
