SPOILERS FOR ANGEL: "DOUBLE OR NOTHING"

It seems Fred is the only one who doesn't blame Wesley for kidnapping Connor. Well, I mean, he did kidnap Connor, but she understands it's not his fault. Cordelia didn't seem to have an opinion either way. Actually, I'm not sure if anyone actually told her. Huh. Speaking of Cordelia, her hair looks awful. And Groo... well, Mark Lutz is very nice eyecandy, but man was that outfit ugly.

At first, it seemed like the Vegas!Demons were after Angel, because well... come on, anything that has to do with a soul usually has to do with Angel. Um, but no, it's Gunn. He made some deal with Jenoff and traded his soul for happiness. We later find out it was for his truck. How.. typical. Also: Do not cheat in demon casinos. They will remove your hand.

The grumpy old demon couple at the beginning was very funny. Enjoyed that muchly, as well as Gunn sitting at the desk with Fred as his girl Friday. That demon spitting projectile phlegm was pretty nasty...I think they called it a "stench problem." Groo was definitely doopey and cute with his "is there evil to vanquish?" inquiry.

Fred's little visit to the hospital started nice. She brought his some of his stuff and told him that she understood why Wes did what he did. Then, of course, she goes on a huge tirade about how Angel was right to blame him and he'd better not go back to the Hyperion. Ever. Because next time, Angel will kill him.

And, wheee! Jason Carter! Yes, that Jason Carter of Babylon 5. ^____^ Even with all the make-up I could recognize his voice. He sure has been popping up on the WB a lot. Great job as the repo demon.

"Gangsta's Paradise" playing as Gunn walked to the casino was really, really unnecessary.

EyE2eYe18: what the hell were they thinking...
OzW 703: how fucking stereotypical, lol
Scifi1701D: "There is no need for this song, do you understand that?" - Q

The flashback was a bit confusing, since about half of us in the room didn't even know it was a flashback. And... I don't know if Gunn at that stage would have wanted to deal with a demon. I just always had a feeling that his attitude was that all demons/vampires were scum. *shrug* I am glad for the little talk that Cordy had with him, though. His "best day ever" plan was pretty sweet. Until, you know, he flipped out and decided to lay into her. Fred's no dummy, she knew there was something up and wouldn't stop hounding him, so Gunn figured the best course of action was to verbally thrash her. He's such a low-life bastard.

OzW 703: ::kicks gunn in the head::
OzW 703: fucker
Scifi1701D: oooh... bastard
EyE2eYe18: i'm confused again:-(
...[snip]...
OzW 703: son of a bitch!!!!!!
wtrnite2: it's the demon...
OzW 703: i no longer like him.
EyE2eYe18: easy easy people
Scifi1701D: He's trying to make her hate him.
EyE2eYe18: there's a reason for this...i just don't know what it is
Scifi1701D: he doesn't want her involved
OzW 703: i don't care. that was mean
OzW 703: bastard
JennyEdu: he's trying to protect her
Scifi1701D: that *was* mean.

Wisdom from Cordelia. Hilarity from Groo ("small rectangles with telephonic digits," indeed). Angel claiming Gunn as a valuable asset to his agency after declaring him family at the Hyperion. I know that Wesley did a horrible thing, but come on, they've all done worse. Uh, okay, not exactly give away Angel's first-born, but he was trying to protect Connor. It's not like he just handed him over to Holtz, Justine kind of slit his throat and took him. That was very messed up and Angel should be able to restrain himself.

The gambling? Totally predictable. Angel was gonna lose and then just kick demon-ass. That's just what happens. Fred whinging about how she's a loser or whatever was not necessary and the drama of the card game was even less necessary. I mean, come on. Angel loses 9 to 3?! What is that about? Though, Cordy staking Jenoff's hand to the table was pretty entertaining, as was Angel's "Anybody else owe this guy?" line. That regenerating slime-covered head was pretty gross, though.

The last scene with Angel dismantling Connor's crib was pretty poignant. Hopefully there will be no more babbling about the baby because I am so sick of hearing about him. From the looks of next week's promo, however, it seems the tiny tot might be coming back.

Quotage:

"I don't traffic in wants. I supply needs." - Jenoff

JennyEdu: when did Cordy become so wise?
EyE2eYe18: on her freakfest with grue
