WHOO HOO! Swing it, Wyndham-Price!
I'd completely spaced that goofy little show they showed at the end of the
benefit, of Cordy and Wes.
Personally, I believe the coatrack.
Anne has grown up a lot. The development of her character from omg VampFan76
to running a shelter for runaway teens is such an off-camera followable arc.
It all seems wildly ... what's the word ... deus ex machina. Course,
Angel did have an informant, Boone did approach L&L at the behest of
Angel, so ... yeah, thinkin' about it, Angel played them right well.
It was a good scheme. 'Course, if W&H needs $2 million, they just print it.
How many souls do they own in this town who are directly beholden to them? So
this seems out of their m.o. That said, it does open new avenues for money
laundering, so aren’t they clever.
Lilah v. Lindsey -- Lilah the good corporate brown-noser, Lindsey the badboy.
Angel in Lilah's car, Lindsey missing a hand. "Boo hoo. Let me wipe away
my tears with my plastic hand." Fun line. Interesting dynamic. W&H,
interestingly enough, is being insufficiently evil, here. Doc Sparrow could
give Lindsey a freewill-ectomy. They could just kill him. He's demonstrated
that he's a serious loose cannon. It interests me that they're letting that go.
They must really be worried about those files he stole. 120 pt. headlines,
"W&H is evil!" is so dog-bites-man, tho – not that they don’t own
the media. Who doesn't assume a law firm is corrupt? Must be way more than
their public image.
And the Between Names agency. Making their way on their own. Fighting demons.
Doing good. And they can't come up with a name. Angel. "The universal
symbol for what we don't have."
It interests me that they can't swallow their pride enough to name themselves.
"I got a gun, and my name is Gunn." Why can't they call themselves
the Goode Agency. "Goode Agency, Mr. Goode isn't here. We hope you're
helpless," something like that.
What did Merl try to tell us his real name is? "Ed Silverman"? From
Recida, perhaps. "I'm from France."
Someone's paying attention to who Virginia Bryce is dating. I wonder if that
tape is what broke them up.
Way to play it cool, guys. Way to cover every contingency. They've got security
everywhere, vamp detectors, they overlooked Operation “Unplug the Machines”?
Oy.
It was pretty instructive, though. I think it was easier for Anne to steal from
thieves. And it wasn't even stealing. The money was meant for the charity, so
the charity got the money. Maybe Anne can send W&H a box of Cordy's
clothes.
Beyond a little bit silly and kind of pointless – what kind of backstory are we
supposed to infer on that Boone character, anyway? – it’s a fun eppy.
