[edit] Notes

[edit] Monster of the Week

• Tezcatcatl: Tezcatcatl was an Aztec warrior who created a mystical talisman that harnessed the power of the sun god. Although this amulet made him nearly unstoppable, he was found out and was executed on the day of the death. However, his death had mystical properties that allowed him to return every 50 years. He spent each appearance searching for the talisman and eating the hearts of heroes for nourishment. Ultimately, he is stopped by Angel and the number brothers by stabbing him through the heart with a metal pole.

• 1x22 - To Shanshu in L.A.: Once again, the Shanshu prophecy is brought up went Spike tells Wesley that Angel is questioning whether or not it actually will come to pass. The prophecy states that after an apocalyptic battle, the vampire with a soul will become human.

Spike: Tall-dark-and-dreary told me he doesn't believe in that Shanshu bugaboo. Says it's a sucker's game.

• 3x14 - Couplet: Wesley translated a passage from a prophecy that said following a great earthquake, fire and the blood filling the sky, Angel will kill his son. This proved to be false and created by a demon to protect himself from being killed.

Angel: Oh, come on, Wes, after everything we've seen the past couple of years? "The father will kill the son."

• Real Life: In actual Luchador wrestling, masked wrestlers do not remove their masks in public as a sign of honor. The only time that they remove the mask is if they lose a match which requires them to unmask.

[edit] Behind the Scenes

• Ratings: On its first airing, this episode scored a 4.1/6 in the overnight Nielsen ratings.

[edit] Allusions and References

• Agatha Christie: Agatha Christie is a crime fiction writer who specialized in mysteries and is the best-selling author of any genre, barring William Shakespeare. Christie's detective fiction books often provided the reader with all the clues necessary to figure out who committed the crime, but almost always included a twist ending to surprise the reader.

Spike: Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

  Angel: What conversation? You threw me through a window.
  Number 5: I heard you speaking. You were going to drag me into your quest for the Aztec demon.
  Angel: No, I wasn't. I was gonna give you some mail.
  Number 5: ...Oh. Sorry.

• Angel: Wes, did you ever hear that the devil built a robot?
  Wesley: El Diablo Robotico. (nods) Why?
  Angel: Nobody ever tells me anything.
