[edit] Happenings

• Wolfram & Hart: It seems that Wolfram & Hart was involved in Darla's transformation afterall. Unlucky for them because Darla and Drusilla decide to have a massacre at Holland's wine tasting party. Among the dead are Holland and, presumably, his wife.
• Angel Investigations: After being confronted with his methods of getting things done, Angel fires Wesley, Cordelia and Gunn.

[edit] Characters

• Darla: After being forced to drink from Drusilla's blood, Darla has been "reborn" as a vampire.

• Kate: Despite being bitten by Angel in a previous episode, Kate seems to have warmed up to him again. After being arrested, she lets Angel go to stop Darla and Drusilla's killing spree.

[edit] Referbacks

• BtVS - 2x07 - Lie to Me: The song that Drusilla sings to Darla's corpse is the same tune that she sang to a little boy from an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

[edit] Allusions and References

• General Custer: George A. Custer was a general during the American civil war for the Union and was also well known for his role in the Indian Wars. During the Battle of Little Bighorn, Custer led troops into battle against forces that greatly outnumbered him. Despite knowing this, he still split his soldiers into three units. However, two of these units wound up holding defensive positions and Custer's soldiers were slaughtered, along with Custer himself.

Cordelia: Wolfram and Hart, as in vampire detectors, crack security system and armed guards? Nice plan, General Custer.

[edit] Memorable Moments

• Angel arrives at the wine tasting party in time to save the lives of everyone in the cellar. However, instead of leaping in to save the day, he walks out and locks the lawyers in with Darla and Drusilla.

[edit] Quotes

• Angel: I can crush the life out of you before they even lift a finger.
  Holland: Oh, I'm sure you can. Just as sure as I am that you won't.
  Angel: Won't I?
  Holland: You don't kill humans.
  Angel: You don't qualify. You set things in motion, play your little games up here in your glass and chrome tower, and people die. Innocent people.
  Holland: And yet I just can't seem to care.

• Darla: Come on, love. I never did get that good-bye kiss.
  Angel: You will. But not tonight.
  Lilah: For god's sake, help us.
  Holland: Angel, please. People are going to die.
  Angel: And yet, somehow, I just can't seem to care.
