Kinky dinky: Connor remarks that CC steals the bedcovers much to Angel's distress. Gunn mentions that Fred kept him up all night and was unstoppable.

Captain Subtext; Lorne calls Angel 'sweetie' when he brings him breakfast in bed. Whilst Connor refuses to bring Cordy any pics of Angel he's fine with everyone else, even Lorne.

Questions and observations; Really not good, silly plot and although there's some powerful emotional stuff really far below par. First time we ever see CC's parents. Now when we see Angel recreate the conference room scene at the Hyperion is that just a photographic memory or a spell he casts? Love the satire on the Angel fans, Angel referring to the 'chatty rooms'. Love Fred's Ripley moment, "I'm the bitch!".

Wes' reaction to the knocks on the door suggest he doesn't have very many visitors any more. You get the impression that he is very much Lilah's conduit to humanity, allowing her to be ordinary with someone else and show her weakness to, something which she certainly can't do with anyone at WR&H. Interesting that Fred did history at first rather than physics, must help her on helping Wes with his demon research. You wonder that rather than kill Sidel Gunn and Fred don't seek to try and find the other victims who have been cast through the portal? Another lovely scene between Angel and Lilah, you always look forwards to them "Yeah, Hulk smash".

Marks out of 10; 6/10 and maybe that's generous
