Angel 3.18 FAQ
What’s it called?
“Double or Nothing.”
Who’s responsible?
Teleplay is credited to David H. Goodman (“Dad”).
What does TV Guide say?
“A Faustian deal Gunn made several years before comes back to haunt him when a demonic repo man (Jason Carter) arrives to collect his soul - and threatens to use Fred as collateral. Meanwhile, Cordelia returns from her vacation with Groosalugg (Mark Lutz); Angel remains in a state of shock after losing his son; and Wesley faces a future bereft of his closest friends. Jenoff: Patrick St. Esprit.”
When does Cordy come back?
In the teaser, sporting very blonde, very short hair.
Does she do any demon stuff?
No. She doesn’t even get a vision this week.
The big news?
Still no speaking part for Denisof, but Wes does get to go home this week.
Is everyone still mad at Wes?
Yes, though Fred may be a little less mad than the others. Everyone is still afraid to use his name around Angel.
Any sign of Holtz or Connor?
Nope, just an empty crib everybody keeps staring at.
What about Wolfram & Hart?
Nothing.
Any sign of Fantastico?
The no-crossover rule continues to be adhered to.
What’s good?
Groo is still fun, in that fish-out-of-Pylea way of his.
What’s not so great?
Prepare to miss the time-travel demon. This is one of the dullest, most leadenly-paced installments of the series’ three-year run. Gunn’s dilemma is uninvolving, overly familiar and unconvincingly resolved. There are long, uninspired dialogue sequences in which Cordy tries to comfort Angel. This episode serves virtually no good purpose save to hold back the interesting plot points until May sweeps; do yourself a favor and flip over to “The Bachelor.”
How does it end, spoiler-boy?
Angel takes apart the crib.
