1x03 In the Dark

[Spuffy]

First aired: 10/19/1999
Writer: Douglas Petrie
Director: Bruce Seth Green
Guest star: Jenni Blong (Young Woman), Buck McDancer (the Dealer), Gilbert B. Combs (Bouncer), Thomas Rosales Jr. (Manny the Pig), Ric Sarabia (Vendor), Malia Mathis (Rachel), Kevin West (Marcus), James Marsters (Spike), Seth Green (Daniel "Oz" Osborne), Michael Yavnieli (Lenny)

Oz pays a visit to Angel and gives him the Gem of Amarra, the vampire's holy grail that grants eternal protection. Doyle wants Angel to wear it with pride, but Angel opts to play it safe and hides it in the underground tunnels. He is soon kidnapped by Spike and tortured by a child-eating vampire named Marcus. While Angel is enduring the torture, Cordelia and Doyle locate the gem in the tunnels and quickly conspire Angel's rescue. The rescue goes almost according to plan, but in the scuffle, Marcus manages to obtain the gem and heads for the beach. The group follows him and Angel battles with him to the death. Deciding that no vampire deserves to see the light of day, Angel destroys the gem.

The Angel section was feeling neglected

Evil Spike so awesome. I always thought Angel should have kept the ring at the end, I mean you never know when you might need something like that. And he goes and destroys it. tsk tsk.

hehe:

RACHEL: Lenny... please... don?t.

LENNY: You think I?m not going to find you, after you humiliated me again?

RACHEL: I didn?t do anything! I swear! I?d never...

LENNY: No! I know what you do. I see. The men, the lies, this is the last time, damn it!

RACHEL: What are you on, Baby? You only get like this when you...

(Lenny hits her.)

RACHEL: What are you going to do? Pulverize me right here? Someone is going to hear me scream.

LENNY: In downtown LA at night? Nobody is going to hear. Nobody who cares. Besides, (He pulls out a revolver and points it at her face) this will all be over fast.

RACHEL: Lenny...please...no!

LENNY: I?m sorry. I just can?t take this anymore.

(Angel grabs him from behind and makes him drop his gun.)

ANGEL: Poor Lenny. The burden of terrorizing your girlfriend too much for you? Lucky for you I can make it stop.

(Lenny grabs a 2x4 and tried to hit Angel. Angel ducks and knocks him out cold.)

ANGEL: Rachel, are you alright?

RACHEL: Is he...

ANGEL: It?s okay. He?s not getting up for a while.

RACHEL: I can?t believe you actually showed up.

ANGEL: Well, that was the deal, right?

(The camera pulls back to reveal Spike watching them from a rooftop above them)

SPIKE: (imitating Rachel) How can I thank you, you mysterious, black-clad hunk of a night thing? (imitating Angel) No need, little lady, your tears of gratitude are enough for me. You see, I was once a badass vampire, but love and a pesky curse defanged me. Now I?m just a big, fluffy puppy with bad teeth.

(Rachel steps closer to Angel, and Angel steps back, warding her off with his hands)

SPIKE: No, not the hair! Never the hair! (high voice) But there must be someway I can show my appreciation. (low voice) No, helping those in need?s my job, and working up a load of sexual tension, and prancing away like a magnificent poof is truly thanks enough! (high voice) I understand. I have a nephew who is gay, so... (low voice) Say no more. Evil?s still afoot! And I?m almost out of that Nancy-boy hair gel that I like so much. Quickly, to the Angel-mobile, away!

SPIKE: Go on with you. Play the big, strapping hero while you can. You have a few surprises coming your way. The ring of Amara, a visit from your old pal Spike, and, oh yeah, your gruesome, horrible death.

Neaty-o. That's why I came in here today. I wanted to show AtS some lovin'.

Right. Episode: Spike. Oz. L.A. Vampire torturing. This ep had everything! Oz saves our hero by crashing in with his cool van and crossbows. Then Angel saves the day by defeating the bad guy and looking extreamly hot when coming out from under the docks... all covered in water... his clothes sticking to him... and um... what was I talking about?.... What are you people doing here??

[Spuffy]

Oz is God.

[ScoobyGroupie]

*prances in like a magnificent poof*

[JamesMFan]

I hate the way Spike says poof in that episode. HE sounds like a poof.

[Spuffy]

Evil Spike sounds good no matter what he says. *swoons*

[ScoobyGroupie]

Hah, Spuff called Oz God and I'm watching "Fear Itself" right now... where Oz goes as God for Halloween. hehe.

[JamesMFan]

He shouldn't say poof so much, it's very disrespectful.

[Spuffy]

hehe I watched that earlier. ;D
