Billy

Angel Episode Review

In which everyone has Issue with Women.

What Happened

Wolfram & Hart's latest pet project gets a little out of control, when Billy, the son of Senator Whatshisname, turns out to be a half-demon, half-psycho, misogynist pig. His touch spreads the joy, turning other men into nutjobs: Gavin smacks Lilah around, and Wesley takes a turn terrorizing Fred.

Angel nearly loses it while looking for Billy, but holds it together long enough the beat the crap out of him. Lilah shows up with a gun, however, and ends the whole thing by killing Billy herself.

What We Learned

• When an attacker comes at you, just move the line. Always force them to readjust.
• Gavin was not exactly Captain of the Debate Team, was he?
• If you like her, just tell her... just go right up to her and... hack her into pieces.
• Billy just likes to watch.
• Cordelia did not come to gloat. She can do that anywhere.
• There's not a thing about badly reapplied mascara that Cordelia doesn't know.
• Cordelia's feeling superior because she's got an arrow pointed at his jugular. And the irony of using a phallic shaped weapon? Not lost on her.

Best Lines

Guy: "There was a chick here, pretty brunette, she said that a melodramatic guy would eventually show up."
Angel: "Cordelia? Thinks I'm melodramatic?"

What Did I Think?

The word "intense" doesn't begin to cover it.
