Angel's Just Rewards (Updated)

[Anita Blake]

I don't know how reliable this spoiler is, but for right now, it looks pretty good and I have no reason to believe it is "foilage."

Episode Title: Just Rewards

First, let's get the buzz of the boards out of the way. Spike is back and he's incorporeal. So apparently they've decided to go with 'Ghost-Spike' for the time being. Spike is not entirely happy about his return to the mortal coil, but is extremely happy to be annoying Angel. Just to be clear, Spike specifically references the fact that he was brought back against his will. The gist of the episode is that Angel discovers that one of Wolfram and Hart's clients has been using the firm to acquire the bodies of the recently deceased. The client is a necromancer, Hainsley, who charges demons a fee to put their essence into the human vessel.

After Hainsley kills the first messenger to pass along the news that Wolfram and Hart will no longer be his supplier, Angel goes to confront him. Spike decides to tag along, more to annoy Angel than any real desire to help. The discover that Hainsley has a showroom of dead people, from which the various demons can take their pick. When they arrive, Hainsley is with a client, and he asks his manservant to kill them. After a brief fight, Angel takes out the manservant and then gets into an argument with Spike. Angel seems to be quiet bothered by the fact that it took him nearly 100 years to deal with the guilt and remorse for all the things Angelus did, while Spike only needed a few weeks in a basement. During this argument, Spike starts to fade out and then vanishes.

Angel proceeds to take out Hainsley, only to discover that as a necromancer, Hainsley can control any non-living being. Which means that Angel can't touch him, however he doesn't want to kill Angel because Wolfram and Hart has big plans for him. Angel decides to let the firm take action, freezing his assets and having the IRS get in on the action. Not to be outdone, the necromancer decides to use Spike. He offers Spike a chance to not only get his body back, but to take Angel out at the same time. Which Spike seemingly is more than happy to do.

Not to fear, Spike has not gone evil over the summer. When Hainsley attempts to transfer Spike's essence into Angel's body later in the episode, Spike takes over Hainsley instead. This allows Angel to physically attack him, and Angel quickly dispatches Hainsley. This doesn't keep Spike from reanimating the corpse and getting in a few good swings at Angel's expense, until Angel makes sure that Hainsley's body will stay dead by decapitating him (looks to be a very amusing scene, with the head of Ghost-Spike sticking from the neck of Hainsley's body.

Anita when posting things like this can you please post the url of where you got it from, it saves people from saying we stole it from them. Thanks

Also Am_I_Evil posting a url is considered to be spam, it would be helpful if you posted a brief description of what it is you are referring people to.

Posting a link on its own is spam, pure and simple. Sure its a link to another thread somewhere on the site, that much can be seen from the url but you should include what its about, as people have been known to post random OT links with annoying popups, and these have been to things on the boards, not elsewhere on the site.
