Angel season 1, episode 18, "Five by Five":
-Synopsis
-Ugh Darla, but yay for finally seeing the pivotal moment where Angelus becomes Angel.
-Angel's transition from soulless to soulful compliments Faith's storyline really beautifully here.
-Cordelia: Is she growing or is this just a need for comedic relief?
-Wolfram and Hart hire Faith. Was her heart really in killing Angel?
-LOVE that line up shot when Angel Investigations team sees Faith for the first time.
-Angel plays lawyer. Muah ha ha ha.
-Cordelia needs to pull a Stranger Things and use Christmas lights to communicate better with Dennis. He really is trying to help most of the time.
-Faith and Wesley.
-There was a moment in this scene where Wesley could have turned a lot of things around for Faith a lot earlier.
-Faith makes everything personal. She wants the same personal connections that everyone has with Buffy, but she's never been able to get them.
-Lots of final scene thoughts.
