Angel and Spike travel to Rome with plans to rescue Buffy from their old nemesis The Immortal. While in Italy, they also attempt to retrieve the head of a fallen demon leader to prevent a perilous power struggle between several warring demon clans.

Please don't spoil us UK viewers (particularly those of us who got the two eps before to catch up on before we can watch this one 🙂)
 
Edit as I didn't see the point in double posting.

This epsiode has been really hilarious so far, with "Hop on little momma" and the scenes with Darla and Dru.
 
Angel: I stopped Acathla. That saved the world.

Spike: Buffy ran you through with a sword.

Angel: Yeah, but I made her do it...I signaled her with my eyes.

LMFAO!!! That was the line for me! When I hear dit I just burst out laughing. It was a fun episode but the whole Angel and Spike do Italy was a bit of a letdown for me. It was just them being made fools of and saying funny things. Andrew, Darla and Dru's apperances were also letdowns but I guess better then nothing. I LOVED the scenes with Wes / Illyria / Fred's Parents. Seeing Fred again made me remember how much I missed her. Anyway it wasn't a bad episode just not what I expected.

8 / 10
 
the darla and dru parts were so funny but is it just me or are they trying to make spike and angel the comic relife now like the way xander was for buffy.

I can understand them doing it to spike beucae that was one of his major roles in buffy but angel?? but i did like the ep i thougth it was really funny and sweet
 
:: tu :: Okay so it was strange but I laughed about 15 times,I loved the way they acted,very fun and I'm glad Buffy won't be the focus of the last episodes.In fact I'm glad they seemed to let her go,which to me is about time! :: jack ::

On the Vespa was priceless :: teeth : ,I laughed the spirit of fun running through,even Illyria wasn't as annoying as usual.... :😛?::
 
Andrew's Italian friends showing up really made me laugh. ("People Change!") That and Spike and Angel trying to say that Buffy was under a spell to make themselves feel better! 😀 And that jacket they made Angel wear! ::rolf:: Wesley sooooo wanted Illyria when she turned into Fred!
 
Can't forget "The gypsies are filthy people, *spits* we shall speak of them no more!". That was hilarious.
 
This has been one of the best of the season. And provided some great comedy (CIAO!)
Nice to see Dru again but I was disoppointed with the whole Buffy <3 Immortal thing...a bit out of character! (Also I'm not sure weather to hate The Immortal or not! LOL)
 
Lol, loved the ep. Had me laughing all the way through.

Spike and Angel are so funny when they're being competitive over Buffy.

Loved seeing Andrew, again, but still don't like the hair.

Angel: I stopped Acathla. That saved the world.

Spike: Buffy ran you through with a sword.

Angel: Yeah, but I made her do it...I signaled her with my eyes

Loved that bit too. My fave part overall.

Give it an 8/10 and can't wait for next weeks, but OMG, nearly the end 🙁
 
I actually quite liked the Girl in Question. I thought it was an enormously funny episode and the bit with Spike in the 1950's going "ciao" makes me crack up all the time.

The music makes me laugh the most, just the bit where Spike & Angel's car gets nicked and they follow him on the ped, and the music changes to reflect the slowness of the ped. Angel throwing a strop about having to sit on the back of the ped was comical too.

Personally, besides the Illyria and Wes parts, the episode was very light-hearted and funny and I must say I enjoyed it a great deal.
 
I did it enjoy apart from the slow fight part, it looked so shabby and made me think what am I watching here, hehe.
I was amazed to see Fred back, for some reason I thought she was back for good straight away.
It was a funny ep, I loved the woman from W&H Italy.
 
Hehehe - very funny ep. Though I wonder what it would've been if Sarah had been available. I also wonder if we'll ever see the Immortal again in the Whedonverse (I know I'd like to🙂) - I think he was what Hitchcock called a McGuffin though (any film students want to explain that?😉)

nope.

i thought this ep was a bit rubbish.

Rome looked like back lots but realy

honestly

truly


why make an episode about buffy when you can't get buffy ::rm::
 
Angel: I stopped Acathla. That saved the world.

Spike: Buffy ran you through with a sword.

Angel: Yeah, but I made her do it...I signaled her with my eyes.

omg.. i about died when they said that.. it was so hilarious... i like how this episode played out.. well i thought it would have been better if it showed Buffy, or at least more members of the Scooby Gang, not just Andrew.. this was a really good ep tho.. the Spike and Angel interaction was great..
