Quotes:

Harmony: Just since you're all soulful now, I thought maybe, just maybe, you might've learned to open up a little. You know, talk? But I guess a leopard can't change his stripes.
Spike: Spots, you dink. Leopards have spots.
Harmony: Oh! Excuse me, Mr. Brainy. Thank you so much for sharing. Wow. What a breakthrough.

I eat the dead for breakfast son and you're just another plate of bacon and eggs

I eat the dead for breakfast son and you're just another plate of bacon and eggs - Oh, ho-ray. Illigally blonde is back. ANGEL is to me one of the most perfect shows ever made, I love the characters, story lines and I consider most of the episodes to be absolutely brilliant, but I cannot love all 110 episodes equally, this is one of those episodes that I wouldn't mind skipping. It's mostly about 'Spike' b!tchin' and moaning, only even more than usually. Poor 'Angel', having blonde casper hunting him is far worse than hell. Also 'Harmony' shows her first signs of suckness, at least 'Spike' has a quarter of a brain, I would be shocked if 'Harmony' has a brain at all. But the episode also had some good moments, I liked 'Hainsley' with his House of Wax-ish home and of course 'Angel' killing the butler with a spoon. But when the most exciting scene of the episode is a flashback of Buffy's series finale, you know it can't be too good. The episode is mostly an average bunch which bottoms my bottom 3. FRED: I'm detecting brain activity. ANGEL: On Spike? That is weird.
