I actually posted this at another forum. It's much easier to cut and paste than write another summary 🙂
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well just watched it. I'm still missing Cordelia, but OMG Gwen is so hot
So let's see.. basically the episode dealt with Angel trying to get a relic in his hands in order to find Cordy. It just so happens this relic happens to be worth 33 million. So needless to say it's in higher demand than Angel would like. While attempting to steal this item he runs into the woman incarnated version of Raiden(Gwen) who is a professional theif that just happens to wear tight leather pants In this encounter she kills Gunn, and then brings him back to life with her electro powers. Angel then tracks her down and they proceed to fight and fall into an elevator. She then uses her eletrical mojo on Angel and just so happens to kick start his heart. We are then treated to a little kissy kissy scene between Gwen and Angel. This situation becomes sticky as the potential buyers double cross Gwen and trap her and Angel in an elevator with poisonous gas. They manage to escape and kick the buyers asses. Gwen then realizes Angel really does want the relic due to his love for Cordy. So she forks it over. Angel then discovers Cordy is up with the powers that be and that more or less was the end of the episode except for another short blurb from Cordy herself pleading for Angel to "Get me out of here".
We were also treated with more steamy scenes of the ongoing Lilah/Wesley relationship. Angel did go and try to make amends with Wesley. He helped him uncover how to find Cordy and then went his own way. Apparently Wesley has assesmbled his own demon fighting squad. Angel also sought out Lilah in order to get information on Gwen and the potential buyer of the relic. With his keen sense of smell, he uncovered to Lilah that he knew they had been together. Lilah is staking out Conner obviously hoping to gain him as a potential client. Angel let her know that would not be such a good idea.
So that's my short summary of what happened. So what did I think? Pretty good episode, obviously I really dig this Gwen chick. She doesn't seem to be evil, but without a doubt she has a chip on her shoulder about being electro freak. It'll be interesting to see if she returns.
For the Conner/Angel saga followers, this episode probably offered nothing for you. We saw absolutly no progression in this story line, only that Conner is sleeping on the streets. Amy Acker I thought did an excellent acting job in the scenes following Gunn's short death. She showed alot of emotion and really let out how horrible she felt with Angel and Cordy being gone. The thought of losing Gunn would probably put her back in the cave with her equations. Some probably don't think that's such a bad idea
Next week it looks like we finally get to see Lorne as our hero's make a trip to Vegas. So darn, probably no Gwen
