What an episode, so much gore, violence, darkness. Do I need to go on? The Jasmine-arc really gets better by episode, the body-snatching is what I mostly loved about this one. The Spider-Demon (Played by Jeff Ricketts) was also a major highlight, I loved his scenes with 'Wesley' and when he was tearing up that poor vampire. My favorite scene was the one with 'Jasmine' and 'Connor' about his pain, some great acting from Gina Torres and Vincent Kartheiser. The ending was also kind of epic - Time for the big fight scene, and 'Angel' ending up in a world filled with Spider Monsters. What a fun episode. JASMINE: There's a part of you that you've kept from me, your pain. CONNOR: I don't understand. JASMINE: Pain has been the only constant in your life, the one thing that has never abandoned you. You think that pain is yours to keep and bear alone. But it's not. I want it. I want everything you are. Connor, father, let it go. Let me have it. (10 out of 10)
